Radio lies

I have just heard, for the thousandth time, that female partners are more sexually attracted to their male spouses when the latter takes part in domestic duties.

This time on dumb-ass radio … ‘A study has shown that men are more likely to get sex if they make their partner a cup of coffee …(general fake laughter)’

What they mean is that someone has observed a correlation between the frequency of sex in a relationship and the levels of domestic duties undertaken by males. How meaningful the correlation is, we don’t know.

The cause of the correlation (if it’s real and meaningful) is probably women getting pissed off with their unfair workload and withholding sex in an emotive and self-punishing ‘carrot and stick’ effort to address the situation.

Men only see the stick. And it’s all downhill from there.

Young girls should be warned about the ineffectiveness of this approach.

Indeed, they should be warned off any sort of emotional blackmail in a relationship. It’s not a good foundation for anything real or lasting.

ps. that advice goes to both sexes – it’s just the example I had was this way around.
