When we think about foreplay, it doesn’t usually involve Fairy Liquid (ouch).
But, according to the results of a recent survey, washing the dishes can lead to the most amazing sex – IF you and your partner share the task equally.
The study, conducted by the University of Alberta, found that if you and your partner do an equal amount of housework, you’re more likely to have better sex more often.
The research, titled Skip the Dishes? Not so Fast! Sex and Housework Revisited and conducted by Dr. Matt Johnson, examined over 1,300 German couples over the course of five years.
Speaking to The Independent, Dr. Johnson clarified: “In any relationship, the amount of housework is going to mean something different based on the couple’s context, based on their own expectations for what each partner should be doing, and their comparison levels of what happens with other couples they know.”
Unilad point out that the results contradict those gleaned from the Egalitarianism, Housework, and Sexual Frequency in Marriage study conducted in 2012, which claimed that couples have less sex when the male performs what is traditionally considered “female” housework.
Emmm… we’ll take the new one thanks.
