Using Emily Nagoski's "gas" and "brake" model of sexual desire, I can see where a lot of undone chores would be a brake; particularly if DW is trying to handle a lot of them while DH lounges on the couch. But, for most women, I don't think the chores are going to be what hits the gas on her libido.
DH doesn’t really get the opportunity to hit the gas unless I’m in the right headspace and the chores are (mostly) done. Once it’s to the point that we have started being intimate and he is hitting the gas, I would say that it goes to completion 95% of the time.
