If you want to get a raise, have sex. This is not speculation, I am not pandering. This is backed by raw, hard scientific data here. Want more money? Have more sex. This is a public service.
Dr. Nick Drydakis is a senior lecturer in economics of the Lord Ashcroft International Business School at Anglia Ruskin University in the U.K. and Research Fellow at the Institute for the Study of Labor in Germany. Put that on a business card. But Dr. Drydakis has done the research, and that’s official enough for me.
But here’s the thing. To make a lot more money, you’re going to have to have a lot more sex. So, let’s dive into the data.
“The vast medical and psychological literature concludes that sexual activity is associated with good health and improved physical and mental capacities, psychological well-being and dietary habits,” Drydakis says. “In addition, several studies suggest that mental health, personal happiness, satisfaction, self-esteem, conscientiousness, cognitive functioning and reasoning ability are positively related to the frequency of sexual activity.”
