When US influencer Bri Dietz posted on Instagram that her husband Bobby can ‘get lucky’ in the bedroom by doing his share of the housework, it went viral. While Bri’s ‘choreplay’ has been criticised as unfeminist, a study discovered that couples who share household tasks do have more sex.
Researchers at Cornell University in the US found men who reported doing more than a third of the housework got busy between the sheets significantly more often than men in couples where the woman did 65% or more of the chores.
In an ideal world, partners would split housework equally. But sexpert Kate Taylor says, ‘If your partner occasionally needs prompting to pick up a vacuum cleaner, choreplay is far more fun. And it’s a lot less damaging than having a blazing row.’
But it isn’t just women who promise to get down and dirty if their partner rolls up their sleeves and does the dishes.
Two couples, including a man who got his wife to pull her weight around the house, tell Anna Roberts and Alley Einstein how choreplay is a win-win.
