FYI Boys: If You Want To Get Some, Get Some Housework Done

Posted by Katie Halper

Apparently, nothing turns women on more than a man who knows how to work his own equipment. And nothing brings women more pleasure than a man who takes the initiative and whips out his big, strong, powerful... vacuum cleaner. According to a report published on the Council of Contemporary Families (CCF) website, men who do housework in the home may get more playtime in the bedroom: "Equitable sharing of housework is associated with higher levels of marital satisfaction -- and sometimes more sex too! Wives report greater feelings of sexual interest and affection for husbands who participate in housework."

So boys, If you want to get off, get off the couch, put down the remote, pick up your duster, and get to cleaning.  And then, maybe, your wife will put on a French maid outfit and whip out your duster. Sounds like marital bliss to us.  

Readers, what do you think? Men who clean: sexy or un sexy?

So absurdly sexy. Like, it shouldn't be so sexy, and yet, it is.

Super sexy.  My question is, between free-weight reps and hair combing and conditioning, how does this man find time to do any housework at all.

Three factors make this sexy to me: 1)the feeling that, as a woman, I'm not an "old maid/old rag", relegated to being locked-up alone cleaning-up dirt after my lord as he does more important things, 2)a sense of responsibility, support, and organization on the part of my man--it's more adult, hence, more manly, 3)time to bond in the home without external distractions means build-up of intimacy in the place of intimacy.

OK, but to be fair, a lot of women are total slobs too. Also, the original study refers to families, which in most cases entails living in a shared space. I assume most Hooksexup members don't live with the people they are dating, so there is a little less entitlement to tell them to pick up. It's less an issue of gender equality, and more one of basic hygiene and cleanliness being turn ons.

i HONESTLY can't think of anything sexier.  i think it's the sharing-responsibility part of it most of all... plus they look so cute in an apron.
