Happiness, Sex Talk More Than Money

Byword that say "money can not buy happiness, but sex can make people more happy" is true. Research conducted Blachflower David, an economist from Dartmouth College and Andrew Oswald of Warwick University in England, sexually active states proved to be happier than financially prosperous.

In the study Questioning 'economics of happiness', Blachflower Cs examine the relationship between happiness and sexual activity at about 16 thousand people. They found that sex provides a strong and positive effect on happiness itself, or could say 'sex is identical with happiness'. Although it does not mean living in poverty and are sexually active can be a happy life secret.

The results quoted from the journal Money, Sex and Happiness: An Empirical Study published by the National Bureau of Economic Research predicts intercourse once per month to twice a week is equivalent to feeling happier after getting additional income of 50 thousand dollars, for an average average worker in America.

"This evidence also proves that money still determines one's happiness, although not as much as economists think. We must also look at the psychology and realize there are other things more important than just the financial side," Blanchflower said, as quoted from Softpedia, Wednesday ( 3.7).

Blanchflower also said there was no relationship between money and sex, for average people with different incomes tend to have sex the same frequency. But sex has a greater effect on happiness of someone, especially those with higher education and richer, than those with low education.

On average, those who are most unhappy are those who at most have sex regularly and healthy, in this case married couples or those who are committed relationship 30% said they had sexual intercourse on a regular basis than those who are still single. In addition, a stable marriage also provides the level of happiness, and increase revenue of about U.S. $ 100,000 annually, while couples who divorce income decreased approximately U.S. $ 66,000 each year.

Level of happiness is not always associated with sexual life. But according to the economic calculation ('econometric') that explains what has long been known to psychologists that they are happy are those who are sexually active. It can not be denied sex and happiness are two sides complement each other.

"Previous studies have stated people tend to be less depressed sexual activity, but when they are happy, or free from depression, automatically they will increase sexual activity, that's for sure," explains the psychological and sexual therapy, Dr. Robert Hatfield, of the University of Cincinnati and a spokesman for the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality.
