A New Way to Enhance Your Sex Life

What do women find sexy? A man who does his household chores, for one.

• Individual and interpersonal factors are commonly cited as an explanation for low sexual desire in women.
• The unequal division of household labor may partly explain low sexual desire in women.
• For happy and (sexually) healthy relationships, couples should divide household labor fairly.

A new study published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior suggests that an unequal division of household labor may partly explain low sexual desire in women.
“The onus to fix women’s low sexual desire with things like medication, testosterone, stress-reduction, or mindfulness therapy can be unhelpful because it ignores bigger picture causes that include gender inequities,” say the authors of the study, led by Emily Harris of the University of Melbourne and Sari van Anders of Queen's University in Canada.
