But it does make their hands softer.
Somehow, all men secretly know this to be true.
“The findings, published in the journal American Sociological Review, are correlational, so they can’t say whether dish-washing actually makes men less sexy.”
My swinging bachelor pad uses nothing but paper plates and plastic dinnerware for this very reason.
maybe they are actually tired from working like their wives are, so they are sleeping instead of bothering their wives to have sex with them so they can get to sleep
Speaking from personal experience this is not true...

As a man who has experienced two long term marriages, one with very little hanky panky, and one with, well, never mind, I can tell you that my experience is the exact opposite.
I suppose that if housework was all I did this might not be true.
I emailed it to my wife, not sure how she’ll take it, but I know that I do more of the day to day stuff, (laundry and cooking, dishes, etc) than she does, she does more of the “deep cleaning” quarterly (scrubbing showers, tubs, etc).
I won’t necessarily comment on frequency other than to say the report is not incorrect in my experience.
‘I knowed this was a scam!’
Anyone else notice that the study asks the question how coercion might affect frequesncy among couples where the man takes a more traditional role with respect to housework but it doesn't speculate how the wives in the study have on average more sex than their husbands?
Perhaps the men get headaches after doing the housework. “Not tonight, honey, I have a headache...from realizing that all that work I did today, I will have to do it all again tomorrow, and the day after that, and the day after that, into perpetuity.”
Or perhaps men who aren’t getting much or any sex step up to try to relieve the wives of some drudgery so she’ll have more time and energy. Decision time comes when she still says no, gets dressed in the closet, watches TV until midnight every night, and uses her new found time to go out with friends.

“Men in the study reported having had sex an average of 5.2 times in the month prior to the survey while women reported 5.6 times on average. “
.2, .6. Maybe some shrinkage going on here?
This is from Spain. Ole!
I think it means that femme meek guys who are under female domination and lack a pair get less but maybe cause they don't want it or initiate less
I am very alpha...head of family but i stay up later often and don't hesitate to do laundry or dishes or cook on occasion etc
And we have a steady love life only maybe 25% less frequency than when we were much much younger....it's something we both set aside time for and anticipate several times a week..and on occasion even have fun spontaneous stuff
We almost named last baby Dooley....lol
You got heat and respect for each other...the man can help out some
Wifey is southern...she doesn't confront head on...she knows how to persuade effectively
Don't dump all housework on wife especially if she works outside the home too
Help her out with the housework occasionally. Just make sure she's never helping you out with the housework.

> Married men who help out with the housework ‘get less sex’
What about their wives, do they get less sex too?
Dumb study.
If men permit women to totally mentally and socially dominate them, they will wreck sexual balance. No woman should have to make a grown man do his part in life maintence and responsibility. Then she’s his mommy and mommies don’t make love to their children.
