After completing a world-wide study on why people have sex, psychologists Cindy Meston and David Buss, found that there were 237 reasons. Here are the 10 most important reasons women have sex. They've woven scientific research together with a slew of women's voices in their new collaborative work, Why Women Have Sex published September 29 by Times Books.
"We do bring in men occasionally by way of contrast, but we wanted to focus exclusively on women so that the complexity of women's sexual psychology was not given the short shrift, so to speak," said Buss, a leading evolutionary psychologist.
The authors conducted a study from June 2006 to April 2009 that asked women whether they had ever had sex for one of 237 reasons, all of which had emerged in a previous study. About 1,000 women contributed their perspectives.
