According to a study carried out at Anglia Ruskin University (United Kingdom) based on data from 75,000 subjects between the ages of 26 and 50, people who have sex 4 or more times a week earn a higher salary than those who have sex. sexually inactive workers . Specifically, the average salary is 5% more for sexually active employees, regardless of their education and profession.
As Nick Drydakis, co-author of the work, concludes, this is because the absence of sex has a negative impact on people's mental health . "If basic needs are not covered, human beings cannot function well," explains Drydakis, who argues that if we lack food, drink or sex we become more vulnerable to "loneliness, social anxiety and depression, which it affects working life. "
