Is too much sex bad for the economy?
August 4, 2007
Let’s talk about sex!

“The less sex you have, the more work you seek”, and those who are not getting any action “often take on more commitments and work.”
Or in the words of the studies author, Ragnar Beer of the University of Göttingen:
“Sexual frustration prevents you from being able to reduce your stress”
“One commonly takes on obligations out of sexual frustration that aren’t easy to let go of, like leadership positions in a club, for instance. That takes away from the time spent on the relationship, which again negatively contributes to sexual satisfaction. Unobserved, the frustration often becomes deeply ingrained.”
Beer’s team found that 36 percent of men and 35 percent of women who have sex only once a week take on extra work to compensate for their wanting sex life. It’s even worse for the hapless couples who have altogether lost their eye for one another. Forty-five percent of men and 46 percent of women who no longer have sex with their partner seek out other activities to salve their wanting libidos.
So, you could conclude that the more active participants in an economy getting no or little sex, the more productive that nation’s economy would be.
How could economic policy makers use this information to their advantage?
I blog, you decide.
Meanwhile….
In other studies of sex related news…
A world-wide study on women’s sexual satisfaction has found that Saudi Arabian women were the most sexually fulfilled, followed by Mexican, Spanish, Italian and Venezuelan women.
How nice.

Quick, watch it before Universal records deletes it!

Saudi Arabian women the most fulfilled? Why do I not believe that?
It’s the chicken and the egg. Do people work more because they aren’t taking the time to have sex, or do people work less because they’re too busy having sex???
Makes you go hmmmm…
