    You have to get the man while he is young and still trainable. If this isn't worked out EARLY in the relationship, I don't think REWARDING him with sex will work, because that translates to withholding sex until he catches up with the idea that housework is sexy. And truly a partner who takes too long and does the job poorly, makes housework MUCH harder. That doesn't turn me on, it pisses me OFF! In the beginning of my marriage, he would "help" me clean house. Alone I could do it in 3 and a half hours. Together it took us 8! And the house looked like it needed to be cleaned when we finished! When I want help, I call a cleaninglady and make him pay! THAT turns ME on!

    WHAT..more sex for him??? That's ok I'll do all of the housework!LOL! (just kidding) My husband, thank God, does all of the laundry, and grocery shopping. I do the bathrooms and everything else. We both work and sharing the housework is a BIG help....I truly LOVE him for it.

    When we were first married, I asked my wife what one chore do you hate the most and I will do it. I have been doing laundry for 15yrs. I clean the 3 bathrooms vacuum and dust the upstairs 3bedrooms, hallway and laundry. I have been told housework is sexy and teased with the reward of sex. However, i've never gotten it. I do it or it doesn't get done. My wife works for 10hr days a week with one day off during the week. I work nights with a rotating schedule. I have to do chores on my off day why can't she?????????????/

    This sure makes a lot more sense than that video game crap posted not too long ago. Personally I can't stand chores and I don't understand why a woman wouldn't feel the same way. For that reason alone it makes sense that both parties pitch in as equal as possible so nobody gets stuck with the full load. As far as women actually getting turned on by it I have my doubts about that. Looking at it logically though if the woman has more time and energy in a day to do what she wants a guy could expect that one of the things she might want to do is him.

    Wait a minute here, we went from "women aroused by men doing housework" to "get men to do housework with sex"! Well, why reward the guy for doing what he SHOULD be doing anyway (if he's not doing his fair share, that is). I think pointing out to him that when he does housewrok it makes me happier and feeling that he wants to share equally and take some of the load off me, and therefore I am going to be more likely to be in the mood for sex more often, as well as have the time and energy, is more than enough incentive!

    As to how a man doing housework arouses me... Seeing him working around the house without a shirt, especially doing the dishes so I can snuggle up behind him, kiss his back and neck and fondle his chest and tummy, while he is trapped against the counter with his arms in soapy water... mmmmm, yeah!!!

    I think coolbreeze has it-I'm not more likely to be excited when a guy does the housework, but if I have more energy/hours, I know a good way to spend them
