The real reasons why women have sex

There are a number of reasons why women have sex. Research has shown that for most woman, passionate desire languishes in the lower reaches of the list, somewhere below affection and passion, which also rate low in this case.

Some of the reasons vary from woman to woman and in different countries but some admitted to having sex ‘so that men will like them’
 Research onWhy Women have sex where 1 000 women were interviewed about their real reasons for saying ‘Yes’ when they could have said ‘No’ cites many reasons.

Boredom, winning favors and to get rid of a headache were high up the list.

 Then there’s ‘jealousy’ sex, which involves having sex with someone else to re-ignite a partner’s interest.
Callous, yes, but most of us are not above a certain amount of low-down scheming when it comes to sex.

The authors also found that women have sex in a bid to ‘win’ - to poach a man from another women or to secure his long-term commitment.
A certain woman admitted having sex with a guy just out of curiosity.
Whether it’s for a new carpet, out of politeness, in the search for emotional intimacy, admiration or simply because we feel like it, the end result is the same, women have their own peculiar reasons why they have sex.
