Women prefer knitting or reading a book to having sex, says survey

Nope. On a biological level, they like good partners and healthy offspring. Once that is accomplished, sex is extraneous.

Now, as I said - certainly people can override their biological instinctive imperatives. That's what separates us from the critters.

I'm not suggesting sex isn't enjoyable for women. But they aren't driven like men. They don't have the same sex-drive as men do on ANY level. That's biological. That's species propagation in action.

Again bullshit.

An honest look at actual female behavior rather than surveys that can be skewed by the way the question is asked and you will find women **** more than men do. There is a reason why so many married women cheat, yes hypergamy is a thing but everybody gets the grunt.
 
I'm not disagreeing with any that. I think you are onto something.....however women do seem to get REALLY horny during their middle age. I wonder what that is about, biologically speaking?

Because we can't get pregnant anymore. We can have sex with no worries.

I haven't had that ability (without assistance) since very early in my marriage.

In my case it's more because when our kids were small I was frigging exhausted and tired of attending to someone else's needs every waking second. A lot of times I just wanted to be left alone to read a book or sleep, lol.
 
DTF? We like you Mrs. OFTB.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. None of these women spend their time on FB or the internet over those other things? Hell, I personally would list my kids as a hobby, or child raising, whatever. We spend an inordinate amount of time (pleasurable time) at their sporting events, going to/from practices, etc. That IS a hobby and the highlight of my days when presented with it.

I think the survey was bogus. Poor options.

Yes, I spend a whole lot of time volunteering for my kids activities. It's not really my preferred way to spend my time but I have the time and somebody has to do it. I do enjoy watching their games and competitions though.

Translation: Our kids are keeping us from having sex and we are ok with it....sometimes...sort of...LOL
 
ark would reply to this, but he's too busy balling the absolute **** out of Miz Ark.
 
We have so much crochet'd ****, I don't know what to do with it. We could start a shop. Oddly, when I come back from work trips, nothing has been knitted.

The milkman or the toy chest? Great Unsolved Mysteries.
 
A SURVEY of 1,000 women has found that the majority prefer reading a book or knitting to having SEX.

Asked to pick from a range of 'options' if they were given a spare moment to relax, women chose reading a good book as their 'top option', trumping sex, crafting or having a bath.

The top four options chosen by women in the poll released today were:

1 - Read a book - 37 per cent

2 - Have a bath - 26 per cent

3 - Crafting (Knitting, sewing etc) - 18 per cent

4 - Have sex - 8 per cent

It also found that 36 per cent of the women polled said their stress levels had rocketed in the wake of the events of 2016, including Brexit, Trump's election and financial worries.

Can they not multi-task?

And most of those who do are single and over 40.

By the way drawing a bath with flowers is almost a sure thing with women. Somebody should have told me that decades ago...
 
DBS, I'm not saying there aren't outliers. There are always going to be people who skew the curve. At the end of the day, whether you believe in creationism or evolution doesn't matter. Ultimately we're still biological creatures with a biological imperative to propagate the species.

And that works at a very simple instinctual level. The male does his thing and the female does her thing. Humans are unique in that they are intelligent enough and evolved enough to have tailored their surroundings remarkably to better suit their interests and further their intellectual and artistic goals beyond simple survival. But still, underneath that is the basic underlying simple truth. Males are wired to impregnate women. It is their primary biological function.

Women are wired to carry, birth and care for a healthy child until it can survive on its own. Again, primary biological function. Can you be a "house-dad"? Sure. You can. But somehow that is "deep down" inherently, societally and even most likely at your very core somehow out of synch. That's because you are not fundamentally, biologically wired to be a "house dad". You can do it. But you weren't genetically evolved or created to do it.

Just like your wife wasn't genetically created to impregnate 56 men. Nor, Ironically was she most likely given the natural overwhelming sex-drive and urge to WANT to have sex with 56 men in her 20's. But lots of guys probably would have been THRILLED to do that with 56 different women in their youth, before they found a mate and settled down. And as we often see, Men still quite often stray in their relationships for meaningless sex. (Women sometimes do too, but most often AFTER they've gone through menopause.)

Anyway, we are not slaves to biology. It is merely an instinctual urge which we can overcome easily enough if we wish.
 
I'll have been married 25 years this coming October. I've never screwed around or even kissed anyone else. But...that middle age boost, as it were, is real. It kind of surprised me to be honest. You know, I'm also very active with volunteering, activities, sports, work, yada yada. So along comes this "drive" and yes, unexpectedly, new ideas. Yay me.
 
I'm not disagreeing with any that. I think you are onto something.....however women do seem to get REALLY horny during their middle age. I wonder what that is about, biologically speaking?

Not the one I'm with.... it's okay though because when she does I know it's time to change the batteries in the smoke detector.
 
And most of those who do are single and over 40.

Um.....NO. No bath, no flowers. Give me some beer and leave me alone...lol. Seriously. I can't stand baths.
 
Wig,

Women don't go to bars and let guys buy them drinks and then take them home.

Women don't start Tinder profiles to get sex hookups.

Women don't watch porn and masturbate.

There are no women using adult friend finder.

There are no women advertising for casual encounters on Craigs List.

There has never been a woman that had an affair just for the thrill of illicit sex.

There has never been a woman that cuckolded her husband and presented him with her lovers child telling him the child is his.

Again,

Look at the actual behavior of the female of the species rather than a survey that they can lie on or have the answers skewed by the person asking the question. You are confusing Hypergamy in choosing a marriage partner with sex drive, They are not the same thing. Society tells us women don't like sex as much as men as a control mechanism over men. Men that marry and start families are more productive and stable the tribe likes that so it becomes a social moray. The men that figure out that women like to **** as much as they do don't settle down and tend to do their own thing.
 
Women don't go to bars and let guys buy them drinks and then take them home.

Women go to bars to get free drinks and reject men. Every single guy over 35 in western PA has that figured out.
 
Being an ex military spouse, I went for months, even years without sex staying faithful to the deployed hubby. I kinda got used to not having it, and my drive went away. He couldn't figure out why I wasn't all over him when he would return from his assignments.....I couldn't force myself to all of a sudden have a drive when it would be held in check for so long.
 
Yes....when the hubby was deployed I went without, as did he. He was in Korea for a total of 3 years (not all at once- 1 year the first time and 2 years the second). I think that was a big reason for the split. We weren't on the same page that way at all. But I could have gone the way of having a boy toy the whole time he was gone just to get my "thrills".....but I didn't.
