Good sex makes you better at your job: study
The Local ^ | June 4, 2009 | Laura Xiao

"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 people’s 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 that’s 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.”"

I'd be better at my job if I could have a few beers while working.

Seriously.

That explains a lot about the attitudes of some of the women that I work with. And it makes the statement ‘she needs to get laid’ more relevant.;^)

I don't think having sex with Michelle establishes your manhood. From what I have seen she is on par with prison sex........

Indeed “good sex” is in the eye of the beholder. If a man will slowly deliver many multiple orgasms to his wife before satisfying himself, she will probably consider that “good”; and if a woman will do all the things that will excite her husband before bringing him to climax, he will probably consider that “good”.
Good sex is the result of effort and caring for the needs of the partner ahead of your own needs. In this way both partners will want to be back for more as often as possible and will never stray.

I quite agree, but was trying to stay on topic.

Why would the Swedish care about whether it improves your job performance? Job performance does not seem like a top priority in Sweden.

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.

Put another way, if each spouse is willing to make an effort to keep the other happy, they will figure out a way to accommodate each other's needs.

Good sex is redundant. All sex is good sex.

Come to think of it, the conference room is usually empty.

THAT explains why I can’t get a job.

I thought it was because I was 64 years old. I’m just glad it isn’t age discrimination as “I used to” think.

Trouble is finding someone within my species to have sex with and then (Maybe) I can get a job again.

AS long as your hormones stay in check you should be okay. And pharmaceuticals are hard at work in helping for those that are off kilter.

Remember,

The desire to procreate is HARDWIRED into us.

WOW! Is the emphasis on “multiple” or “slow” ??? :-)

Hey, I tried that argument at my old job, and they fired me anyway.
