Though a good sex life can be an amazing thing, being equals in a relationship is also very important. If both partners are equals then they would both help with any chores that need to be done around the house, or they would come to a mutual agreement on who does what around the house. Sex is also very important though, and it is needed to have a healthy relationship with someone who is your life partner.
Sharing the household chores because if you arent so tired at the end of the day you'll be more willing to have sex and enjoy it so you'll want to more often.
A good sex life. Doing chores takes motivation. Intimacy is not based on motivation.
Sharing the household chores leads to feeling loved which leads to a good sex life

A good sex life change everything. Sharing the household change something.
I hate to do the house stuff. She hates it too. So when we have to do it, we share, do it togheter. But let me tell you, none of us hates sex... and THAT'S important. Not the only thing, but surely the best.
It shouldn't be fair for MOST guys to answer this one, because of course most of them will say good sex is much more important than sharing chores, right?
Indeed!

Both. A good sex life makes splitting the household chores a snap, and a clean house revs up the sex drive! :)
A good sex life. You can always clean the house, but if you don't keep that spark alive, you won't have a sex life.
Good sex life, as for the household chores or any other duty there should be some sort of balance but it also depends on the respective jobs and what each person brings to the relationship.
Sharing the household chores because if you arent so tired at the end of the day you'll be more willing to have sex and enjoy it .but a interesting bedtime talk is better to increase my sexual desire.
Sharing chores. It shows that you care enough about the other person that you will do the things that aren't as fun. Working together towards a common goal, even something as rudimentary as cleaning the kitchen, builds a stronger bond between two people. This stronger bond and deeper connection will help improve the quality of intimacy you already have, and maybe even increase the frequency. I'm seeing that I'm the only guy to answer "chores"...
GOOD SEX!!!!!
Both.
Sharing household chores LEADS to a good sex life! ha ha! The shared work of a clean house = foreplay!
I think both teamwork around the house and satisfying sex are needed if you want the relationship to work out in the long run. If one person has to do all the chores, chances are they'll be cranky and not in the mood, so there goes the good sex life.
