Ram Posted October 12, 2007 Share Posted October 12, 2007 Why do people have sex? Researchers explore 237 reasons AUSTIN, Texas—Many scientists assume people have sex for simple and straightforward reasons such as to experience sexual pleasure or to reproduce, but new research at The University of Texas at Austin reveals hundreds of varied and complex motivations that range from the spiritual to the vengeful. After conducting one of the most comprehensive studies on why people have sex, psychology researchers David Buss and Cindy Meston uncovered 237 motivations, which appear in the August issue of Archives of Sexual Behavior. People’s motivations ranged from the mundane (“I was bored”) to the spiritual (“I wanted to feel closer to God”) and from the altruistic (“I wanted the person to feel good about himself/herself”) to the manipulative (“I wanted to get a promotion”). Some said they had sex to feel powerful, others to debase themselves. Some wanted to impress their friends, others to harm their enemies (“I wanted to break up a rival’s relationship”). Buss and Meston conducted two studies. In the first, they asked more than 400 men and women to identify reasons people have sex. In the second, the researchers asked more than 1,500 undergraduate students about their experiences and attitudes. The Texas psychologists identified four major factors and 13 sub-factors for why people have sex: Physical reasons such as to reduce stress (“It seemed like good exercise”), feel pleasure (“It’s exciting”), improve or expand experiences (“I was curious about sex”), and the physical desirability of their partner (“The person was a good dancer”). Goal-based reasons, including utilitarian or practical considerations (“I wanted to have a baby”), social status (“I wanted to be popular”) and revenge (“I wanted to give someone else a sexually transmitted disease”). Emotional reasons such as love and commitment (“I wanted to feel connected”) and expression (“I wanted to say ‘thank you’”). Insecurity-based reasons, including self-esteem (“I wanted the attention”), a feeling of duty or pressure (“My partner kept insisting”) and to guard a mate (“I wanted to keep my partner from straying”). “Why people have sex is extremely important, but rarely studied,” Buss said. “Surprisingly, many scientists assume the answer is obvious, but people have different reasons for having sex, some of which are rather complex.” http://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2007-07/uota-wdp073007.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bongosamaj Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Well it is a happy friday and I thought a lighter thread will be good for welcoming our weekend. Mods, If you find anything offensive or filthy please delete the thread. No questions asked 1. Stress at work is one of my reasons meaning sex as a stress buster. How about you? :wink_smile: You need reasons to have sex ? :confused_smile::omg_smile::whatchutalkingabout:hmmmm2::stupido2::damnmate: Let me put it this way- from having experienced both sides of the sex equation ( the haves and the have-nots) : Sex is really, very much like Oxygen. Its no big deal when you are getting some, nobody thinks much on it when they are getting it regularly, but it becomes a huge deal when you ain't getting any.
