    Also @Dick

    The study ONLY says that men doing more housework is ASSOCIATED with more sex in the marriage. It doesn't say why. So quit making it sound like women are giving out or withholding sex as a direct quid pro qo in exchange for housework.

    As I commented previously, it makes sense that a woman who is less frazzled by doing full-time house, parenting, and career roles will be more up for sex.
