No, I didn't steal one of Les's jokes. It's a news article about a study conducted by a couple of Texas University professors (which may explain the results  ). Secret's out: why women really have sex

Why women have sex
Of 1000 women interviewed for a new book, 84 per cent have sex just to keep the peace at home / Ray Cash
* Women reveal why they really have sex
* 84% do it 'for a quiet life'
* 'I hoped he would put the rubbish out'
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.

Odd, I just read in the new york times that around 80% of women find sex amazing and feel that their partners fulfill their sexual needs. I guess the results of studies depends on who is doing them.

I musta tripped over his right nut, at some point and not noticed. Usually I know why someone doesn't like me, cuz I can remember using assorted adjectives on them<grin>. Nonetheless, thanks.
