Back when you were an innocent child and had just come across the concept of sex, you were probably inclined to believe that your parents only bumped uglies a handful of times – to conceive you and the rest of your siblings. However, as you got older you quickly realized that reproduction was often the last thing in the minds of sexually active folk. In fact, a new study shows that procreating is only one out of 237 reasons as to why people have sex. Below, we cover some of the most common reasons as to why women chose to get psychical.

1. You Know How To Kiss Her – Even if you’re no longer in high-school, you can never be too old for a good ol’ makeout session. In fact, women are far less likely to have sex with a bad kisser. Now, before deeming yourself lucky and heading out to look for a one-night-stand, know that your definition of a good kiss may not be the same as your partners. To increase your chances, make sure you act with confidence, smell good and most importantly, brush you teeth.

2. You’re Willing To Commit – Nothing can turn a woman off more than lack of commitment. If you’ve wined her and dined her and have yet to have to get laid, she’s probably still second-guessing your ability to commit. So if you want to ‘get down tonight’, let her know just how involved you really are.

3. You Know How To Pick The Right Spot – Knowing how to use romance in the right ways can be one of the most beneficial aspects for those wanting to get lucky. Start by picking out the perfect location. Traveling to a foreign country will bring a sense of excitement that she may not have back home. By sharing a foreign experience as a couple, your sense of intimacy will be far greater, thus increasing your chances of jumping her bones.

4. You Look Good – Meatheads can work out all they want, but they’re not necessarily attracting women in the process. A recent UCLA study determined that women found lean, toned bodies a lot more desirable than their skinny or bulky counterparts. Women perceive too much muscle as being somewhat of a threat and are well aware that it comes at a price. After all, it takes plenty of time to get that big – and it’s time you could’ve been spending with her.

5. She Wants To Cater To Your Needs – For those seeking an orgasm, start with communication. Woman can often feel insecure about initiating sex due to lack of information as to your likes and dislikes in the sack. To fix this, try to have an open conversation about your sexual preferences – preferably outside the bedroom. Studies show that 79% of unpleasant sex-related chats happen right before – or after – sex. An alternative for the brave: have her watch some free porn and pay attention to her remarks. You may learn a lot more than you think.
