An interesting study (a PDF document) by the psychologists at the University of Texas about the reasons why people have sex was released They asked nearly 2,000 people why they’d had sex, and compiled a total of 237 reasons. This study is considered the “most thorough taxonomy of sexual motivation ever compiled.”
Motivations were basically the same between men and women - it’s more about lust in the body than a love connection in the heart. The foremost reason, which was the same for both men and women, was attraction towards their partners. The rest of the top 10 for each gender were also almost all the same, including “I wanted to express my love for the person,” “I was sexually aroused and wanted the release” and “It’s fun.”
You can also be part of this study by nominating your own 238th reason at TierneyLab. Reasons why you should say “No!” will also be collected through an online survey.
Although the list was considered as the most comprehensive one, reasons may vary also between races and culture. Filipinos, for example, due to their conservative nature, generally believe that sex is an expression of love.
