Research has revealed the reasons women have sex – and men could be surprised by the results.
It shows that for every woman expecting the earth to move, there are two with more practical motives.
From relieving boredom, to keeping the peace or curing a headache, women have sex for many reasons but romance and passion come rather low on the list, a new book has revealed.
One woman even admitted to having sex just so her husband would put the rubbish out.
“Research has shown most men find most women at least somewhat sexually attractive, whereas most women do not find most men sexually attractive at all,” Why Women Have Sex authors Cindy Meston and David Buss said.
Having apparently discounted physical attraction, the 1000 women interviewed by the Texas University professors gave a huge range of reasons for sleeping with a man.
One said she did it for a spiritual experience, proclaiming: “It’s the closest thing to God.”
But mostly the explanations were far more mundane, with 84 per cent admitting to having sex just to ensure a quiet life or to bargain for household chores.
One woman said: “I have sex to relieve the boredom because it’s easier than fighting. Plus it gives me something to do.”
While it may not come as welcome news, some women have sex out of sympathy, with one admitting: “I slept with a couple of guys because I felt sorry for them.”
But many have more selfish motives, with financial or material rewards a major factor.
In one survey of students, nearly one in 10 women admitted to “having sex for presents”.
Others said: “He bought me a nice dinner”, “he spent a lot of money on me early on”, “he showed me he had an extravagant lifestyle”.
And rather than love or romance, for many women sex is just about fun.
Six in 10 university students said they slept with a male friend who was not their boyfriend.
“Life is too damn short to be waiting four years to have sex again,” one said.

Number 13. (Lucky for some) The man retires to the marital bedroom and expects to seduce the woman whilst reeking of beer, charcoal smoke, onions and mustard – you smooth-talking Ozzie fellas somtimes get lucky!
Number 14. Next morning – a good helping of tempest-tongue before the man agrees to clean the barby, get rid of the empty beer cans / stubbies,a nd generally tidy the area – OK if he has invested in the ultimate boy’s toy, a pressure-washer.

BBQ RULES
We are about to enter the BBQ season. Therefore it is important to refresh your memory on the etiquette of this sublime outdoor cooking activity . When a man volunteers to do the BBQ the following chain of events are put into motion:
Routine…
(1) The woman buys the food.
(2) The woman makes the salad, prepares the vegetables, and makes dessert.
(3) The woman prepares the meat for cooking, places it on a tray along with the necessary cooking utensils and sauces, and takes it to the man who is lounging beside the grill – beer in hand.
(4) The woman remains outside the compulsory three metre exclusion zone where the exuberance of testosterone and other manly bonding activities can take place without the interference of the woman.
Here comes the very important part:
(5) THE MAN PLACES THE MEAT ON THE GRILL.
More routine…
(6) The woman goes inside to organize the plates and cutlery.
(7) The woman comes out to tell the man that the meat is looking great. He thanks her and asks if she will bring another beer while he flips the meat
Important again:
(8) THE MAN TAKES THE MEAT OFF THE GRILL AND HANDS IT TO THE WOMAN.
More routine…
(9) The woman prepares the plates, salad, bread, utensils, napkins, sauces, and brings them to the table.
(10) After eating, the woman clears the table and does the dishes.
And most important of all:
(11) Everyone PRAISES the MAN and THANKS HIM for his cooking efforts.
(12) The man asks the woman how she enjoyed ‘ her night off ‘ and, upon seeing her annoyed reaction, concludes that there’s just no pleasing some women!

Every woman is sat on a fortune.
Luckily, I’ve been paid for sex too, but that’s another tale for another time.
Men should worship the “Tarts”. It’s where most of us rack up the points to climb the league tables and learn all about the off-side rules, quick kit change, half time team talks or playing on the muddy pitch (Ahem) etc.
Then, if by chance you find a keeper – keep her. When that goes wrong, back on the one-nighters for a few weeks. Never go 48 hours without it, it’s bad for your health to miss it.
