That famous phrase from Clare Booth Luce apparently applies to married men, according to a new study that finds men who help with the housework tend to have less sex.
You can find a PDF copy of the study at the bottom of Brines' UW page. For instance, twice as much time is spent on "female" chores (34 hours) each week than on tasks more typically considered "male" (17 hours). Couples who participated in the study, most of whom split some of the "female" chores, reported having about five "sexual encounters" each month on average. But in those homes where the man stuck to his 17 hours of dude duties, the couples had 16 more sexual encounters per month. Do the math: The female in the relationship is taking on 68 more hours of housework per month than the male is in exchange for about two sexual encounters. "If the activity is coded as masculine or feminine and it expresses ideas about what makes the opposite sex interesting, attractive, alluring, mysterious, that seems to be related to sexual activity and possibly sexual desire," Brines tells the Star. The data was based on information taken from 4,500 couples polled as part of the US National Survey of Families and Households, conducted between 1992 and 1994. More recent studies on married couples and sexuality roughly match up in terms of the number of sexual encounters.
A 2005 study by the National Opinion Research Center found that married couples have sex on average about 66 times per year, slightly more than once per week. Interestingly, the survey's director, Tom Smith, points out that despite all the humorous anecdotes suggesting otherwise, married couples have sex more frequently than their single counterparts. But with all of the changes in gender roles, and presumably gender equality, over the past two decades, does the UW study's information still hold up? there was a lot of change in the division of household labor in the '70s," Brines tells the Star. "But the pace of change started to slow down in the '80s, and by the mid-1990s it kind of remained stuck and you're pretty much at the same point."
