HIGH earners of both genders boast an increased libido over their poorer colleagues, but only the wealthy men end up having more sex.
As their incomes rise, men and women are more likely to have a higher sex drive, according to a study of almost 30,000 people from 170 countries - the largest survey of its kind.
The findings, from an online survey conducted by the BBC, offer fresh evidence for the theory that women tend to be more attracted to men with money and resources, but that a woman's wealth does not much affect her sex appeal to men.
"Men accumulate resources, which they use to attract women," said John Manning, professor of psychology at the University of Central Lancashire, who analysed the results.
"When it comes to men with little by way of resources, women are just not interested in them at all. As a man's earning power goes up, you would expect him to be having more sex and be with more sexual partners." Feminine charms were little enhanced by income because men paid more attention to other qualities, such as looks, Professor Manning said.

The old adage: Women need a reason; men need a place.
I admit it. I married my husband for the money. Enlisted men in the Navy make loads of it. It had nothing to do with his character, intelligence and wit. Or that he looked good in a pair of snug Levis. It was all about the $300 he had in the bank at the time.
"Women need a reason; men need a place."
I totally agree with that!! LOL
More sex? Maybe BETTER sex is the correct word.
And I'm getting from this article that the *reason* involved here is the fact that the dude is loaded. Funny, all the actual rich guys are old, Ross Perot types, even Donald Trump leaves a lot to be desired in the looks department.
That's why that movie "Indecent Proposal" was so obviously a fictional story -- good-lookers like Redford don't need to bribe a hunny inta the sack!
NEWS FLASH: This just in: Men like beautiful women more than ugly women. Film and Helen Thomas at 11:00.
I bet there are lots of poor guys out there that are quite satisfied with their sex lives.
Or the jist of the article is if you have money, sex is guaranteed. Not because your a looker or a nice person but because ya got a big....bank account!
:o)
Yeah...you're right. How else do you explain the jobless, fat drunk with the high school prom queen?
You don't think that that happens? I've known very attractive women who've gone out with men like the one you described.
I have three sisters and I've had a lot of female friends over the years and I've only known one woman that made a man's financial status a determining factor in whether or not she'd go out with him.
It does happen, that's exactly what I meant. I know that most women don't care much...in fact some don't care enough!
Here'one:
Ooops. I apologize. I misunderstood your post.
LOLOL!!
Even simpler....
Women would rather have no sex than bad sex.
To men, there's no such thing as bad sex.
Hence, the battle of the sexes ;)
Very Funny!!
:o)
"Women would rather have no sex than bad sex."
LOL
That would depend on the definition of "bad" sex.
:o)
OMG! LOL
