... have more sex.

"American women have long hinted that seeing their husbands doing housework—or at least seeing the results—is an aphrodisiac. Now, for the first time, men confirm that the housework-sex link is real."

Maria Shriver's A Woman's Nation reports on the link between housework and sex.

What do you think? Does your husband helping around the house make you more inclined to have sex with him? Is it because you have more energy for such fun or out of gratitude, or both?

Definitely the more energy one.. lol.. not only that but I think that it is totally sexy to see a man that really doesn't expect to live life by traditional gender roles and is comfortable enough with himself to scrub the toilet.

I dunno.  For me it's just a given that DH will do his share, and sometimes "surprise" me by doing a bunch of extra stuff too.  And it's also a given that we're going to have sex.  So I don't know if there is a correlation LOL.

But I can see where I would be less into DH if he was a lazy husband who expected me to do every single thing in our home.  Then I might not be as sexually attracted to him. 

I knew a woman who had 3 kids and the most her hubby ever did was play with them for 15 min.  He never changed a diaper or anything at all.  She did all of the housework, took out the trash, mowed the lawn, everything.  She and her husband both worked full-time too.  I couldn't be in that situation period.

My husband works full time in a traditional setting and I work full time from home and we have a similar situation to yours where we each do our fair share and have an active sex life. Like you, there's no way I could live with him being 100% lazy and me doing everything, especially if we both worked outside of the home. While I do sometimes wish he'd help more around the house, or keep the yard neater, I don't begrudge his lazy days since he will help when I need it. :)

On Sunday, C. was in the kitchen cooking and I came in, gave him a big hug and told him how sexy he is when he cooks. It made him a little embarrassed, but it's true!

If the kids hadn't been around, man oh man...
