So far we know that a good night’s sleep,
exercise,
a little enthusiastic consent, and yes, grilled cheese sandwiches can all improve your sex life. And now, it turns out, a
little bump in the paycheck could help, too. (More money = more makeouts?)
According to a new report by Anglia Ruskin University in the UK, “those who
get it on two or three times a week earn 4.5 percent more than their less
coitus-inclined colleagues,” reports The Daily Beast. The study,
which followed 7,500 participants, uncovered a rather strong correlation
between behaviors that succeed in the bedroom and the boardroom, so to speak,
stating that “contemporary social analysis suggests that health, cognitive and
non-cognitive skills and personality are important factors that affect wage
level.”
Dr. Nick Drydakis, who
led the study, explains: “People
need to love and be loved, sexually and non-sexually, by others. In the absence
of these elements, people may become susceptible to loneliness, social anxiety
and depression—all factors that can affect their working life.”
