Those damn busybodies

Ok, here's an article that I thought would be appropriate discussion fodder. There are a few really good insights in this article...
Sexless marriages: When couples stop coupling
The theory sounds like a veiled slap against feminism: Two-career couples are just too tired to have sex.

The condition known as DINS — dual-income, no-sex — is said to afflict people whose job demands leave them too harried or too sapped for physical intimacy. The catchy acronym usually elicits knowing twitters from listeners and is ammunition for traditionalists who favor stay-at-home mothers.

It is also a myth.

DINS "is a cocktail-party phenomenon. The data show that it's not true," said Janet Hyde, a University of Wisconsin psychologist who co-wrote two research papers that debunked any correlation between hours worked by husbands or wives and diminished frequency of sex.

Here's a great insight..." People who don't have sex are unhappier"
And another...Fatigue was the strongest predictor of diminished sexual desire in women, Hyde found. And women who are homemakers reported feeling just as tired as women who worked full time.

And I like this one...As for the popular DINS theory, Hyde's research found no link between how many hours a woman worked and how often she had sex. In fact, Hyde discovered that career-motivated women had intercourse more often than any other group of women.
