It’s been asked before but I’ll ask it again, why is common sense so uncommon?  Why do we spend millions on studies that tell us what we already know.  For Example: A happier worker is a more productive worker and a more productive worker makes more money.  Duh.

Now to the question of what makes you happy and why we are posting this story in the first place.   A new study shows that people who have sex two or three times a week earn 4.5 percent more money than those who have sex less often.

Researchers in the U.K. looked at 7,500 responses to a behavior survey to analyze the effect of sexual activity on wages. They were exploring Maslow's Need Heirarchy Theory which states that happier and more fulfilled individuals are in their personal lives, the more productive and successful they will be at work.

Maslow schmazlow, you don’t need a pyramid to figure this one out.  IF an active sex life makes you happy and for most people it does, then I predict you will be a happier employee!  Thanks. No charge.

The scientists (and my grandmother) say people need to love and be loved, sexually and non-sexually, by others. (Granny left off the sex part)

In the absence of these elements, people may become susceptible to loneliness, social anxiety, and depression-- all factors that can affect their working life. (Daily Mail)

Hey U.K., if you have the money, I have a great idea for a study.  I hypothesize that when people get hungry their top priority is to find food.  Genius if you ask me!
