Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have managed to uncover 237 motivations for why people have sex, including, “I was bored,” “I wanted to feel closer to God,” “I wanted to get a promotion,” “The person was a good dancer,” “It seemed like good exercise,” “I wanted to break up a rival’s relationship,” “I wanted to have a baby” and “I wanted to give someone else a sexually transmitted disease.”
Other reasons cited in the U Of T press release, include, ”I wanted the person to feel good about himself/herself,” “It’s exciting,” “I was curious about sex,” “I wanted to have a baby,” “I wanted to be popular,” “I wanted to say ‘thank you’,” “I wanted the attention,” “My partner kept insisting.” and “I wanted to keep my partner from straying.”
For a full list of motivations, you'll have to read the August issue of Archives of Sexual Behavior.
