Researchers at the University of Texas have published the results of a study with a list of the 237 most common reasons why people have sex. And the answers differed little between the sexes. For both men and women, their top reasons for having sex were all about lust, not love; the physical needs were the top motivators, with the emotional needs distinctly trailing In fact, 20 of the top 25 reasons were the same for both men and women.
So much for Men Are From Mars, Women are From Venus.
I wasn't able to find a list with all 237 reasons, but following is a list of top 10 and bottom 5 for both sexes. I would say that 6 and 7 are usually my top two motivators.
Men's top 10 reasons:
1. I was attracted to the person.
2. It feels good.
3. I wanted to experience physical pleasure.
4. It’s fun.
5. I wanted to show my affection to the person.
6. I was sexually aroused and wanted the release.
7. I was “horny.”
8. I wanted to express my love for the person.
9. I wanted to achieve an orgasm.
10. I wanted to please my partner.
Women's top 10 reasons:
1. I was attracted to the person.
2. I wanted to experience physical pleasure.
3. It feels good.
4. I wanted to show my affection to the person.
5. I wanted to express my love for the person.
6. I was sexually aroused and wanted the release.
7. I was “horny.”
8. It’s fun.
9. I realized I was in love.
10. I was “in the heat of the moment.”
Men's bottom 5 reasons:
1. The person offered to give me drugs for doing it.
2. I wanted to give someone else a sexually transmitted disease.
3. I wanted to punish myself.
4. I wanted to break up my relationship.
5. I wanted to get a job.
Women's bottom 5 reasons:
1. I wanted to give someone else a sexually transmitted disease.
2. Someone offered me money to do it.
3. I wanted to get a raise.
4. It was an initiation rite to a club or organization.
5. I wanted to get a job.
The bottom five are pretty wacky and I can safely say I've never done it for any of these motivations.
