Can’t buy me sex
Sent to us by a Briefing reader ...
The September issue of The Atlantic reports:
Monogamy is the key to a thriving sex life according to a National Bureau of Economic Research study aimed at quantifying the links among income, sex, and general happiness. Married people have considerably more sex than swinging singles and gay divorcees, and the ‘happiness maximising’ number of sexual partners in a given year is almost exactly one.
Whaddyaknow?! As regular readers of The Briefing (or arcane reports on sex) would know, this is a result that has been regularly ‘discovered’ by contemporary researchers; wonder why it doesn't sink in?
They also report that men consistently report having more sex than women. The report authors gently suggest that this discrepancy is due to ‘exaggerated memories’ among the male population!
