    Why whoopie?

    Researchers have come up with some answers to the burning question: Why do people have sex?
    The researchers asked college students taking psychology classes to rank the reasons on a one-to-five scale based on their experiences.

    The students agreed on their top reasons for having sex:
    They were attracted to the person, they wanted to experience physical pleasure and -- quote -- "it feels good."

    For older adults:
    Twenty of the top 25 reasons given for having sex were the same for men and women.
    Expressing love and showing affection were in the top 10 for both men and women.
    The study appears in the August edition of Archives of Sexual Behavior.
