The more sex you have, the more you may earn.

Yep, according to various studies undertaken by Scientists in the UK and Brazil, it was concluded that people engaging in 3 or 4 times of sexual intercourse per week, earned approximately 4.5% more than those individuals who had sex less than three times a week. See post here : http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/11553243/People-who-have-sex-twice-a-week-earn-4.5pc-more-than-those-who-dont.html.

One can take the results of these surveys with a pinch of salt and weigh the information objectively. Firstly, it’s a widely known theory that people who lead active sex lives are more content and happy in their lives. See this post http://www.healthline.com/health-slideshow/ways-sex-helps-you-live-longer. They are more confident than the person leading an average or below average sex life. Their attitudes in their work environment reflect a more positive tone than their average colleague.

This assumption stems directly from the fact that during sexual intercourse a string of happy hormones, i.e. Oxytocin, Serotonin, etc. are released into the body. So it stands to reason that the more sex one has, the more happy hormones one releases, and the more one is content with the world around you.  Pair this up with a situation where such an individual loves their job and work environment and you have a consistently above average performer.

The study mentioned is basically based on the trends of individuals mentioned above. This is where it gets tricky; the objective of the exercise was to ascertain the earning levels of individuals who have more sex than those who are less active. The problem with the survey is that it cannot be ascertained whether the exercise was thoroughly exhaustive of any other theories for people earning 4.5% more than others.  For example, did an individual with drive, high performance, motivation, ambition, but little sexual activity, actually earn less than a person with a high sex life, whose performance may not have been on par? You may argue that the person with the active sex life would have performed in his job better than the person with a less active sex life, based on the theory in the previous section. The results of the survey also do not suggest the ratio of people who performed very well in their jobs were ALL individuals with a higher than average sex life. It only suggests that individuals who had healthy sex lives earned higher than those who didn’t!

So unless we are assured that the survey was thoroughly exhaustive of all probabilities, I’m not convinced this theory is conclusive.  I may be pissing up the wrong tree, but that’s my take and I’m sticking to it!
