One writer reenacts a day in the life of a 1950s housewife. Meanwhile, will doing the dishes get men laid?
  • Well Duh

    Is anyone really surprised that men who pitch in more around the house have more sex? It's not reward sex for doing the dishes, nor do most women use sex as an incentive for their guy to vacuum.

    It's just simply that when we don't have to spend all our free time scrubbing the toilet and mopping the floors, we have more time, energy, and desire for sex. (And not having the resentment of watching your partner sit on his ass while you do the scuttwork that it takes to keep a house livable probably doesn't hurt, either.) It's rocket science!
