Men who help with the housework have a better sex life, a new study suggests. Researchers studied the sex lives of more than 1,300 couples to see if there was a correlation between the amount of housework the man does to the couple's sex life.
While they did not find a connection, they found that men who felt they made a fair contribution in terms of chores were more likely to enjoy a better sex life.
Researchers also acknowledged that there are cultural differences in different countries when it comes to housework in the study published in the Journal of Family Psychology.
The author stressed the findings are important for couples worried about balancing their time between the sheets with cleaning them.
Dr Johnson added: "Rather than avoiding chores in the hopes of having more sex, as prior research would imply, men are likely to experience more frequent and satisfying passion for both partners between the sheets when they simply do their fair share."
