- “The Effect of Sexual Activity on Wages” http://ftp.iza.org/dp7529.pdf via @margrev yes, there is a (positive) correlation, so next time you ask for a pay raise, don’t forget to mention your sexual performances
and as mentioned in http://washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/….
Now, that doesn’t mean that having more sex will automatically make you earn more. The authors write that high levels of sexual activity are likely an indicator of good health, which also tends to correlate with higher earnings. It’s also possible that causality runs the other way: Earning more makes you more sexually attractive. Either way, a Marginal Revolution commenter summed up the situation well: “It has always been apparent that sex is good: Now we have statistical confirmation! That’s great.”
