that's not the only reason men have sex, either...just for the record.
I think women are much more tethered to emotions and the qualities of their life and relationship when it comes to the sex drive. Which would mean, of course, that women have sex for lots of different reasons...as the article seems to suggest.
3rd and 4th reasons for me, now in my present relationship - to share intimacy and to relieve stress.
But I have also had sex for much less palatable reasons in the past.
