I wanna be a researcher when I grow up

..... so that I can do studies like this one. How *do* people get jobs like this, anyway? 237 reasons we have sex

WASHINGTON - After exhaustively compiling a list of the 237 reasons why people have sex, researchers found that young men and women get intimate for mostly the same motivations. It's more about lust in the body than a love connection in the heart. Expressing love and showing affection were in the top 10 for both men and women, but they did take a back seat to the clear No. 1: "I was attracted to the person." Researchers at the University of Texas spent five years and their own money to study the overlooked why behind sex while others were spending their time on the how.

Duh. Attraction. Who would ever have known, without studies like this? Thank God it was not a publicly-funded study, anyway. I wonder what reason #193 is?
