Why do people have sex? Seems about as obvious as Ms. Star Jones having weight loss surgery, but apparently it is not.In a recent study published in Archives of Sexual Behavior (I actually saw this study on the Today Show), 2,000 people were asked why they had sex.

The answer? Well, surprisingly, there were more than one. 237 reasons, to be exact.

The top three most popular responses for both men and women seemed the most obvious:
1. They were attracted to the person
2. They wanted to experience physical pleasure
3. “It feels good�

The other 234 reasons were random, interesting and – sometimes – scary.

Some included: to burn calories, for revenge, to make babies, to get closer to the person, to get closer to God and to pass STDs onto someone else (yikes!).
