the financial cost of sex.........
two economists from the university of warick layed claim that money does not buy sex.
the pair published a paper stating:
Quote:
|
"Money does seem to seem to buy greater happiness. But it does not buy more sex."
|
16,000 adults took part in the survey.
Quote:
The economists compared the levels of happiness produced by a vigorous sex life with other activities calculated in prior research, allowing them to impute, in dollars, how much happiness sex was worth. They estimated that increasing the frequency of sex from once a month to at least once a week provided as much happiness as putting $50,000 in the bank.
A lasting marriage offers about $100,000 worth of happiness a year. Divorce, on the other hand, imposes an emotional toll of about $66,000 a year, though there may be a short-term economic gain from the immediate relief provided by leaving your spouse.

Indeed, from the limited knowledge I have (tv, papers) then every £50 - £100 buys you another hour.

Re: the financial cost of sex.........
And what a load of old tosh anyway - you would think all these 'academics' would have something better to research!
