The Top 20 Reasons People Have Sex

•   Boosting mood and relieving depression
•   Duty
•   Enhancement of power
•   Enhancement of self-concept
•   Experiencing the power of one’s partner
•   Feeling loved by your partner
•   Fostering jealousy
•   Improving reputation or social status
•   Making money
•   Making babies
•   Need for affection
•   Nurturance
•   Partner novelty
•   Peer pressure or pressure from partner
•   Pleasure
•   Reducing sex drive  
•   Revenge
•   Sexual curiosity
•   Showing love to your partner
•   Spiritual transcendence

It’s the “Reducing sex drive” one that caught my eye. Does that mean having sex now, so that you don’t feel like having sex later? If so, what’s the difference? What am I missing?

Great thread ,FKA.

The one that stuck out to me on the list is "enhancement of self-concept" , which I can't begin to fathom the meaning of.

My list would look like this:

"1-20 , It feels good."

This thread brought this scene from "Seinfeld" to mind

 Jerry: Well, at least you probably had some, uh, pretty good make-up sex after.

 George: I didn't have any sex.

 Jerry: You didn't have make-up sex? How could you not have make-up sex? I mean that's the best feature of the heavy relationship.

 George: I didn't have make-up sex.

 Jerry: In your situation the only sex you're going to have better than make-up sex is if you're sent to prison and you have a conjugal visit.

 George: Yeah, conjugal visit sex. That is happening!

Prisons still do conjugal visits?

Actually, later - after some kind of prison break or something - George had "fugitive sex" which he said was the best of all.

A "show about nothing" that seemed to have covered everything.

Interesting question--did a quick search--interesting answer.

Used to be 17 states--now only four: California, Connecticut, New York and Washington. (Makes you what caused the other 13 to regress.)

My state is on the list! 😊

Oops!

Hope it is not New Mexico or Mississippi. Seems those two states cancelled their programs within the last two years--I should have dug a little deeper research-wise.

Nope we're good over here in Connecticut. And I'm from New York but I've never heard of Conjugal visits being allowed there.

I hope this isn't your way of telling us you're marrying a convict 😕

LOL nooooo he's not. I'd be more likely to be in there than him. And If that's the case I'd either Shawshank my way out or drastically lower my standards.....

One basic one missing, that CalabrianQueen hit on.

Orgasm.

As Amy might say, yours is subsumed by two others: feeling good, and having kids.
