The mystery of why women have sex, and what they want out of it, has long been an elusive study — something even Sigmund Freud called “the great question.” Researchers have historically theorized that women’s motives lie in love and commitment, while newer studies have shown they do it for pleasure, just like men. In their new book, “Why Women Have Sex,” University of Texas psychologists Cindy Meston and David Buss aim to illuminate the complexities of women’s sexual motivations through women’s own words — an important step, they say, to better understanding how women can achieve sexual satisfaction.
