When it comes to financial success, having an active sex life plays a major role.<\/p><\/div>\n

When it comes to financial success, having an active sex life plays a major role.<\/p>\n

A new study has found people who have sex at least four times a week earn 5% more in wages than their less lucky counterparts.<\/p>\n

On the contrary, the study\u2019s author, Nick Drydakis, a senior lecturer in economics at Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge, England, found that those who don’t have any sex at all earned 3% less than those who are sexually active.<\/p>\n

Published by the Institute for the Study of Labor in Bonn, Germany, Drydakis, the study titled \u201cThe Effect of Sexual Activity on Wages,\u201d found that sex is a \u201cbarometer for health, quality of life, well-being and happiness.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Drydakis, the correlation between sex and financial success could be because more sexual activity boosts confidence and self-esteem, which in turn makes employees more productive, happy and creative.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing sexually active is a proxy for good health, and that itself is correlated with having higher energy for everything, including work,\u201d Andrew Oswald, economics professor at Britain’s Warwick University agreed in a report on CNBC.com<\/i>.<\/p>\n

It also affects how satisfied someone is in their personal life, which can affect their work life.<\/p>\n

People need to love and be loved<\/h2>\n

\u201cPeople need to love and be loved (sexually and non-sexually) by others. In the absence of these elements, many people become susceptible to loneliness, social anxiety, and depression that could affect their working life,\u201d Drydakis told CBSNews.com.<\/i><\/p>\n

This is supported by Abraham Maslow\u2019s hierarchy of needs, where sex is ranked as a relatively fundamental need along with food and shelter.<\/p>\n

It’s also important to note that more sex can result in higher wages, but higher wages may also result in more sex.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey may increase the value and attractiveness of a person on the dating market,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

This does not just apply to single people in the dating market but it also seems to be more prevalent in married couple.<\/p>\n

\u201cMarried people, particularly men, earn higher wages than the non-married,\u201d Oswald said. \u201cOne possible explanation is that such people are sociable, stable people.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s provided if the married man is doing the deed regularly. Conversely, a sexless marriage appears to be detrimental to a person’s earning power.<\/p>\n

\u201cMarried men having no sex receive lower wages by 1.3%,\u201d Drydakis wrote in the study, calling the amount \u2018statistically significant\u2019.<\/p>\n

The study, conducted in England, collected data on 7,500 people aged 26 to 50. Sexual preference did not make a difference in the results, the study found.<\/p>\n
