In reply to the discussion: Married men who do more housework get less sex [View all]laundry_queen
(8,646 posts)61. Maybe, just maybe
Those who do 'feminine' (barf) chores must do so because their wives work and they, as a couple, are busier in general, and as a result, are more tired at the end of the day than husbands who don't help out doing 'feminine' chores. Those who dont' help out are more likely to be 'traditional' and probably are more likely to have wives who don't work, and are therefore less tired. The article doesn't say.
