A discussion paper released on Thursday(6th Mar. 2008) suggested that American men's contribution to housework has increased about 15% in the last 40 years and so has their sex activities.The paper summarizing research on changing family roles prepared for the 11th annual conference of the Council on Contemporary Families in Chicago said that by the early 21st Century, the average full or part-time employed U.S. married woman with children was doing two hours less housework than in 1965. Men's housework load increased from around 15 percent to 30 percent during that time.
The report also found that men's contribution to housework increased over time...the longer their female partners have been in paid employment, the mode family work the men are likely to do.
According to psychologist Joshua Coleman, wives report greater feelings of sexual interest for husbands wo participate in housework.
The most dramatic increase in men's contributions has been to childcare. From 1965 to 2003, men tripled the amount of time they spent in childcare. However, during this same period women doubled the time they spent in childcare and interaction, the report said.
This mutual increase appears to be related to higher standards by both mothers and fathers about spending time with children.
