    Why People Have Sex: 237 Reasons
    Love, Lust, Revenge -- Researchers' List Goes On and On
    By Miranda Hitti
    WebMD Medical NewsReviewed by Louise Chang, MDAug. 1, 2007 -- Why do people have sex? A new study counts the ways and comes up with 237 reasons.
    The reasons range from the sublime to the scandalous. Some motivations came from the heart. Others came from elsewhere in the anatomy.
    The leading reason for sex was, "I was attracted to the person," according to the study, which appears in the August issue of the Archives of Sexual Behavior.
    The study comes from Cindy Meston, PhD, and David Buss, PhD, of the psychology department at the University of Texas at Austin.
    First, they asked 203 men and 241 women aged 17-52 in Austin, Texas, to anonymously list every reason they had ever had sex. Those men and women were taking psychology classes or were participating in other studies at the Sexual Psychophysiology Laboratory of the University of Texas.
    All in all, participants listed 715 reasons for having sex. The researchers deleted repetitions, boiling the list down to 237 reasons.
    Next, Meston and Buss presented the list to 1,549 psychology students and asked them to rate how often, if ever, they had had sex for each of the 237 reasons.
    9 Leading Reasons for Having Sex
    The researchers identified nine broad themes that characterize the students' top reasons for having sex:
    Pure attraction to the other person in general
    Experiencing physical pleasure
    Expressing love
    Having sex because of feeling desired by the other
    Having sex to escalate the depth of the relationship
    Curiosity or seeking new experiences
    Marking a special occasion for celebration
    Mere opportunity
    Sex just happening due to seemingly uncontrollable circumstances
    The study also highlights five general themes that were least frequently cited by the students.
    Those themes included wanting to harm another person (their partner, rival, or a stranger), getting resources (such as a job, money, drugs, or gifts), enhancing social status, using sex as a means to a seemingly unrelated end (such as relieving a headache), or having sex out of duty or pressure.
    Top 10 Reasons Why Women Have Sex
    The researchers broke down the leading reasons why men and women have sex. Eight of the top 10 reasons were shared by men and women.
    Here are women's top 10 reasons for having sex:
    I was attracted to the person.
    I wanted to experience the physical pleasure.
    It feels good.
    I wanted to show my affection to the person.
    I wanted to express my love for the person.
    I was sexually aroused and wanted the release.
    I was "horny."
    It's fun.
    I realized I was in love.
    I was "in the heat of the moment."
    Top 10 Reasons Why Men Have Sex
    In the study, men's top 10 reasons for having sex are quite similar to the women's list. Here are men's top 10 reasons for having sex, according to the study:
    I was attracted to the person.
    It feels good.
    I wanted to experience the physical pleasure.
    It's fun.
    I wanted to show my affection to the person.
    I was sexually aroused and wanted the release.
    I was "horny."
    I wanted to express my love for the person.
    I wanted to achieve an orgasm.
    I wanted to please my partner.
