Sex and money
Terry sent me a link a few days ago, claiming that those with more money don’t necessarily get laid more: Economists find no link between sex, money.
While higher frequency of sex was associated with higher levels of happiness, the researchers said the cause and effects were unclear: “working out whether sex causes happiness or causality runs in the reverse direction will be particularly difficult here,” they said.
Anyway, today we find that “Nothing makes adults – regardless of gender or age – as happy as sex.” So happy, in fact, that they’ve put a dollar value to it.
If they could actually pay me for the happiness I derive from nookie, I wouldn’t need to find a job and can work purely for self-actualisation. *cough*
I think the study was looking at ties such as more money = more sex, or sex = happiness = ? money
Hey, please go ahead with talk about baboons.
I want to know about ‘units of happiness’, though. Happiness is a qualitiative measure, and is very subjective, so someone’s unit (hehe) might be larger than someone else’s.
We need a Big Mac index for nookie, obviously. Then we can calculate how many of us are undervaluing our nookie skillz!
Yes.
There is a link between sex and money…it's called prostitution isn't it?
You beat me to it TuTu, but I think that the rule of declining returns applies here where quantity <> quality. If you had to sleep with 3 baboons a night to get to a more aesthetic looking partner, you probably would not be very happy.
Exactly how ugly are the baboons?
Heh … look where this went to! All things considered, money does == sex … economists are poor, so they debunk it. Examples,
1) That old rich dude and Anna Nichole Smith.
2) That old rich dude Hugh Hefner and (whoever is over 18 and under 24)
Nuff said
Oh…you want serious discussion, sorry.
To resurrect an old joke,
Would you sleep with the Corr brother to get with your Corr sister of choice?
Are the baboons male? Will there be paper bags involved?
