Why We Fuck!

I found this article and I thought it would be more appropriate to use fuck instead of mate...but whatever, I don't work for the New York Times. If you don't want to read the article, here's the basics...some psychologist dudes who, were severely overworked and severely undersexed, decided to study the motivations behind sex. What they came up with is 237 reasons for why people have sex.

Here are a few of my favorites:

“help me fall asleep”
“make my partner feel powerful”
“burn calories”
“return a favor”
“keep warm”
“hurt an enemy”
“change the topic of conversation”
“It seemed like good exercise”
“Someone dared me”
“to get rid of a headache”
“I was drunk”
“I wanted to feel closer to God”
"I wanted to express my love for the person”
“I was sexually aroused and wanted the release”
“It’s fun.”
“I was slumming.”
“the opportunity presented itself”
“the person demanded that I have sex.”



The 237 reasons were then broken down into 4 categories:

*Physical: “The person had beautiful eyes” or “a desirable body,” or “was good kisser” or “too physically attractive to resist.” Or “I wanted to achieve an orgasm.”


*Goal Attainment: “I wanted to even the score with a cheating partner” or “break up a rival’s relationship” or “make money” or “be popular.” Or “because of a bet.”

*Emotional: “I wanted to communicate at a deeper level” or “lift my partner’s spirits” or “say ‘Thank you.’ ” Or just because “the person was intelligent.”

*Insecurity: “I felt like it was my duty” or “I wanted to boost my self-esteem” or “It was the only way my partner would spend time with me.”

I wish they did a study of motivations of why people DON'T have sex! Here's the thing that motivates me NOT to have sex...having Don say, "not tonight, my ass stinks!" or anything related to swamp ass, swaint, testickies or swalls!
