More Sex = More Money

I read lots of different things just to get an idea about what is going on in the world. Everything interests me in one way or another. When I saw this headline I thought it made sense if you were a prostitute. It would seem clear in that case that you would make more money if you had more sex. Imagine my surprise when I found out that was not what the article was about. I love science especially social science. How else could we learn valuable information like the facts I will convey to you today. I am providing this information as a public service. If you want to make more money. If you want a pay raise. The answer is simple, have more sex. No speculation, just scientifically researched facts. Dr. Nick Drydakis senior lecturer in economics at the Lord Ashcroft International Business School at Anglia Ruskin University in the United Kingdom has done the research.

Studies have shown that sexual activity is associated with good health, personal happiness, satisfaction, self esteem, cognitive functioning and reasoning ability, improved physical and mental capabilities, psychological well being and dietary habits. When you look at that list you wonder if there is anything that sex doesn't make better. It's a wonder we aren't all in a big pile making the world a better place. The good Dr. Drydakis postulated that since all those characteristics noted above (good health, mental well being and mental health) are related to an economists notion of productive output it would make sense they would have economic value and be an indicator of higher wages. Blanchflower and Oswald completed a study in 2004 that concluded the more sex a person has the happier the person is. Seems to make sense. Here are the results of Dr. Drydakis study.

Adult individuals have sex approximately once per week. This is where you stop and try to figure out when the last time was and how long it has been since then. Please keep in mind that we are talking about sex that involves another person. In general there is a monotonic relationship between the frequency of sexual activity and wages. Dr. Drydakis study indicates that for both sexes an increase from weekly sexual activity to activity MORE THAN FOUR TIMES A WEEK increases wages by 3.2%. Employees who have sex more than four times per week receive statistically higher wages. There is more. Men having no sex receive lower wages by 1.0% and married men having no sex receive 1.3% lower wages.

Well boys and girls you know what you need to do. Want some extra cash in that take home pay. Sex more than four times a week is the answer to your financial dreams. Don't be fooled by those get rich schemes you see on the TV or that fill your email with spam. Turn off the TV, shut off the computer, have a romantic meal, light some candles and get busy making more money.
