Default Sex is worth $50,000 in income!
"After analyzing data on the self-reported levels of sexual activity and happiness of 16,000 people, Dartmouth College economist David Blachflower and Andrew Oswald of the University of Warwick in England report that sex "enters so strongly (and) positively in happiness equations" that they estimate increasing intercourse from once a month to once a week is equivalent to the amount of happiness generated by getting an additional $50,000 in income for the average American."

Did it say the sex had to be good? Surely all intercourse is not worth the same.



Sexy music on CD, $11.95... Dinner out, $48.50... Great sex, Priceless.

So, If I have sex more often, I will make more money? I don't think so. Plus, too much sex feels like work, not fun. Fun is when you get it ONLY when you want it, not everyday.
