\"Intimacy,
Are you surprised by these findings? Tell us your thoughts in the comment section below.<\/figcaption><\/figure> Men and women have sex for different reasons, right? Historically, men have a reputation of luring women into bed for a good time, while women want to make a connection, but a new study says otherwise.<\/p>\n

Why two people have sex<\/b>
\nResearchers at the University of Texas came up with an extensive list of more than 200 reasons why people have sex, and it turns out men and women agree on the number one reason to get busy: attraction. In fact, twenty of the top 25 reasons given for having sex were the same for men and women.<\/p>\n

You’re not the only that’s surprised<\/b>
\n\u201cIt blows the old misconceptions about men and women out of the water,\u201d Lauren Smith said after reading about the study.<\/p>\n

\u201cHonestly, I\u2019m shocked.\u201d\u00a0For Lester Hickle the results were also surprising.\u00a0\u201cHow could that be?\u201d he said.\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s actually refreshing to know that it\u2019s not just guys trying to get girls to bed that they are doing the same.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s refuted a lot of gender stereotypes … that men only want sex for the physical pleasure and women want love,\u201d said University of Texas clinical psychology professor Cindy Meston, the study\u2019s co-author tells Examiner.com<\/a>.\u00a0 \u201cThat\u2019s not what I came up with in my findings.\u201d<\/p>\n

Top three reasons to have sex with someone:<\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Attraction<\/li>\n
  2. To feel pleasure<\/li>\n
  3. To please each other<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Critics of these findings point out the group that was studied were college students.\u00a0Meston admits that sexual desires and reasoning will differ as we age, but the researcher says the study points to a bigger issue – that men and women might not be as opposite as once thought.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
