Are you lethargic and unhappy at work? The answer is more Sex! Yes, you should have more sex at home according to a new study from the Oregon State University published in the Journal of Management.
The study monitored the work and sex habits of married employees over the course of two weeks and found those couples who had more sex reported “increased positive affect at work the following day, independent of the effects of marital satisfaction” and that “sex at home increased both daily job satisfaction and daily job engagement as a function of increased positive effect.”
Then study also went on to note that “daily work-to-family strain-based conflict significantly reduced the likelihood of engaging in sex at home that evening.” Essentially, yes, any work related stress may deter your loving at home.
The positive effects of sex lasted for both men and women within the 24-hour period and “equally strong”.
“This is a reminder that sex has social, emotional, and physiological benefits, and it’s important to make it a priority,” study co-author Keith Leavitt, an associate professor at OSU’s College of Business, said in a statement. “Just make time for it.”
