Better Sex Makes Better Workers!

Better Sex Makes Better Workers

Good sex and emotional support at home can ease stress and improve life in the workplace, according to a new Swedish study.
“Either you come home to something that gives you a possibility to rewind and recover, or you have a relationship that makes you more troubled,” study author Ann-Christine Andersson Arntén told The Local, an English language publication in Sweden.
“If that’s the case then you cannot recover, and your whole system physically and mentally will become unbalanced,” said Arntén, who is a psychology doctoral student from the University of Gothenburg. “It will start to become more and more unhealthy and could end up in depression, anxiety, or sleeping problems.”
Some of the results of the five-year study involving about 900 men and women were obvious, such as the finding that men usually are more interested in the frequency of sex than women, and that women in good relationships had less stress at work than women in bad ones.
But other findings were not so obvious: In the case of men, those in either really good or really bad relationships were less stressed than men in so-called “average” relationships.
Why? Upon questioning, these men said “in-between” relationships require more effort. The relationships eventually went uphill or downhill, and either way ended the stress, they said.
