Why people have sex (women)
By 
Introduction
Most of the very top reasons were the same as the men except in slightly different order. Now as opposed to guys, girls felt a good body was slightly more important than a good face. You also see the appearance of "the person was intelligent," a no show on the guy's list. One other thing of note: all of the girls scores were higher for each answer. Now I'm no psychologist, but I think I need to get to Austin to hang out with some of these Bettys in the survey!!!!
The skinny:
According to a study done by University of Texas researchers Cindy Meston and David Buss concluded that these are the top 50 reasons men have sex. The participants were given 237 reasons and asked to indicate how often those reasons came into play by marking either: none of my sexual experiences (1), a few of my sexual experiences (2), some of my sexual experiences (3), many of my sexual experiences (4) all of my sexual experiences (5)
I've indicated the mean score after each reason.
