We all have non-romantic things that gets us going, even if we don’t want to admit it.
Some may find strong calf muscles incredibly attractive, while someone acing a crossword puzzle may really do it for another, but as it turns out, a lot of us have one surprising spark starter in common. According to a new survey, many people get excited by their partner doing chores.
Superdrug Online Doctor polled 500 Americans and 500 Brits to get the inside scoop on our domestic elements of attraction. The survey reveals that while both genders find watching their significant other do housework attractive, men are slightly more excited by it, with 61% of them saying it’s a hot button, compared to 56% of women.
The poll also finds that when couples do chores together, it can sometimes become a romance starter. Nearly half (49%) of respondents say working on housework with their partner has turned into an evening of romance.
