"A new Swedish study shows that a healthy emotional and sexual relationship can significantly reduce stress at work.
Ann-Christine Andersson Arntén is a psychology doctoral student from the University of Gothenburg. She conducted a five-year-long study on the effects of partner relations on work stress. Andersson Arntén said that peoples home lives can either help alleviate stress at work or push people over the edge.
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, she told The Local.
If thats the case than you cannot recover, and your whole system physically and mentally will become unbalanced. It will start to become more and more unhealthy and could end up in depression, anxiety, or sleeping problems."

Depends if you're screwing the boss. :)
Yes, sex isn’t usually the problem; it’s the living together part that’s tough.
Especially if you’re a prostitute.
Shouldn’t we be seeing pictures of the Swedish Bikini Team to demonstrate a little of what the study was about?
I think you made a good point.
Boxers?
Sex with yourself or with someone else?
I comment on this a lot here but I found an exception to my usual rule about middle aged women.
I actually did meet a guy last Thursday who claims his wife wants too much sex in her mid 40s.
so it does happen I guess....first man I've ever seen say what I have found to be the opposite usually
sex is my greatest earthly pleasure...nothing really surpasses the intimacy with a dear wife.
but, it's women's power...as old as the ages
Master of the obvious.
this makes sense as to why Bill Clinton was such a crappy president and Monica such a great intern. She was the only one having sex.
as a women nears menopause, it’s typical for her to want to have sex more and more. Probably an bio-evolutionary thing where her body is telling her the time to get pregnant is coming to an end so she better get it as often as she can to ensure she can pass continue life. I know these things because of the GOOGLE!
Sooo, what is “Good sex...” compared to just “Sex”???
Maybe it lies in the eye of the beholder. “Fox example, the worst sex I ever had was vunderful!”
My girlfriend after college put me in the latter category; I actually slept during lunch at work.
I could get in such deep trouble if I commented on this, but I’ll behave...
Any two people can have a happy relationship. The only absolute essential is that each partner put the needs of the other first. For men that usually means ego gratification (through sex) and for women it usually means financial security and romance.
If Adolph Hitler had married Mother Theresa and they each put the other on a pedestal and the needs of the other ahead of all else, everything would have fallen into place. Adolph could have become docile and harmless so as to not worry his wife and Theresa could have learned to do what Adolph likes in bed. Too bad Eva Braun was not Mother Theresa.
Do you need a partner?
Another cockamamie obvious study. I’m more pissed off because I didn;t meet the Swedish chicks who took the study.
Actually, I’ve noticed that the most successful marriages are those where both parties are each other’s best friend.
When a couple suddenly experience sexual problems, if they are otherwise in a close relationship, a search for a solution to whatever caused the problem will be sought without either adventuring into someone else’s bed.
Marriages based solely on “great sex” do not endure.
