More sex = greater happiness? Not according to a recent Carnegie Mellon report featured in Psychology Today. It showed that when couples doubled their sexual frequency, they reported less happiness, decreased sexual satisfaction, and reduced well-being. How odd.
Previous research shows that sex boosts happiness and that more sex increases it. That kinda knowledge'll certainly put more lead in your pencil, won't?
In spite of that, a survey of 16,000 American adults, Swedish behavioral economists found that quadrupling sexual frequency from once a month to once a week boosted happiness as much as having an extra $50,000 in the bank.
Princeton behavioral economists asked 1,000 women which life activities made them feel happiest. They ranked sex Number One. University of Texas psychologists asked 442 men and women why they have sex. The top reason: “Pleasure.”
In another study (I swear there's a job out there for me somewhere), the group that lived their lives as always remained as happy as they had been, but the more-frequent-sex group surprised the researchers by reporting less happiness and erotic satisfaction.
So - what's the moral of this story? I guess maybe you should block out about 15 minutes every Sunday after you get home from church to lube up the old ole' crankshaft and check her oil. Juss' sayin'...
