OK, chaps, put down the vacuum cleaner, step away from the kitchen sink... and head for the bedroom.

Researchers claim that couples who stick to traditional gender roles in the home make love 20 times more per year. They found that on average couples have sex five times a month.


But partnerships where the wife does all the household tasks reported having sex 1.6 times more per month on average than those where the husband does all the stereotypical female chores.


Previous research found husbands got more bedroom time if they helped around the home, suggesting that sex was in exchange for housework.

But those studies did not factor in what types of chores the men were doing.



‘Couples in which men participate more in housework typically done by women report having sex less frequently,’ said the study’s lead author Dr Sabino Kornrich, of the Juan March Institute in Madrid.

‘Similarly, couples in which men participate more in traditionally masculine tasks – such as DIY and car maintenance – report higher sexual frequency.





‘Our findings suggest the importance of socialised gender roles for sexual frequency in heterosexual marriage.’



The researchers examined 4,500 heterosexual US marriages involving couples with an average age in their mid-40s.

The study by the University of Washington, published in the American Sociological Review, suggests that adopting traditional gender roles is important to sexual desire.

‘Our definition of attractiveness is linked to the ideal of masculinity and femininity,’ said Dr Kornrich. ‘These ideals are not necessarily the most modern and this may be a hangover of that.’

The scientists ruled out the suggestion that husbands who refused household chores might be more coercive when it came to sex.

‘Wives’ reported satisfaction with their sex life has the same relationship to men’s participation in household labour as sexual frequency,’ said Dr Kornrich.

‘Had satisfaction with sex been low, but frequency high, it might have suggested coercion. However, we didn’t find that.’

But for men hoping to leave all the work to their wives, there was a warning. ‘Men who refuse to help around the house could increase conflict in their marriage and lower their wives’ marital satisfaction,’ said Dr Kornrich.

‘Research has found that women’s marital satisfaction is indeed linked to men’s participation in overall household labour.’

This "research" is nonsense, but good fun though.

Interesting.

Duh! .... I know-- when men do house work-- their manhood goes out the window. I need a man to be a man. Don't enter my ocean, I wont enter yours. I need role plays clearly defined. I need a man to order me to do my work, if I don't do it, the old fashion Karbaash is in order. No, its not mean or demented, its nature at its best. If husbands do house chores--the wife will lose respect for him. I mean, of course--its cute and all--hypothetically-- but in realistic- bad feelings harbor up-- and when the moment of irritation arises---I am just going to blurt out--sissy!

This researcher forgot to add something. If your wife is happy then she will clean and do everything for you. If she is unhappy she will not do anything at all.
If the house is clean and dinner ready that means that your wife is happy with you. If he is washing the dishes and she ate dinner without him then she is angry at him, so of course he is not welcome later.
