ck University in England, declared sexually
active could prove more happy than financially prosperous. And, for women, sexually active will also make them feel sexier twice.Blachflower and colleagues investigated the relationship between happiness and sexual activity in about 16,000 people that they made as a sample. They found that sex gives a strong and positive influence on happiness itself. Even practically identical to the joys of sex. But that does not mean living in poverty and are sexually active can make life happy and meaningful.
As quoted from the journal Money, Sex and Happiness: An empirical study published in the National Bureau of Economic Research, alter the pattern of intercourse once per month to twice a week is equivalent to the feeling of happiness after receiving additional income of 50,000 U.S. dollars, for the average worker in America.
"These results also prove that the money still determines one's happiness, though not as much as economists had thought. We must also look at the psychology and realize there are other things more important than just the financial side," said Blanchflower, as quoted from Softpedia, Wednesday ( 7 / 3).
Blanchflower also said there was no direct relationship between money and sex, because on average people with different incomes tend to have sex the same frequency. But sex has a greater effect on happiness, especially those with higher education and richer, than those who were less educated and poorer.
On average they are most happy are those who most have sex regularly and healthy, in this case married couples or those who have a committed relationship.
In addition, a stable marriage also provide a level of happiness, and increase revenue about 100,000 U.S. dollars / year. While couples who divorce income decreased approximately 66 000 U.S. dollars / year.
Level of happiness is not always associated with sexual life. But according to economic calculations, which explains what has long been known to psychologists, they are happy are those who are sexually active. It can not be denied sex and happiness are two sides complement each other.
"Previous studies have depressed people tend to express less sexual activity. But when they are happy, or free from depression, it automatically will increase their sexual activity, that's for sure," says psychologist and sex therapist, Dr. Robert Hatfield, of the University of Cincinnati and spokesperson for the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality.
More Sexy
Meanwhile, other studies mention sexual activity in men, women, gays atupun shown to increase testosterone levels, although the effects of testosterone increase more prevalent in women. In women the increase in testosterone even easier for them to have an orgasm, increase self-confidence, and makes them look more sexy.
According to studies quoted by Discovery News, Sunday (03/11), the hormone testosterone plays an important role in the development and maintenance of masculine physical characteristics in men, although women also have it in amounts not so much.
The first study of two studies conducted by researchers from the Department of Psychology, Simon Fraser University, Canada, revealed women and men can alter their hormone levels based on how often they embraced, making out or having sex, which will automatically increase the level of testosterone.
Rise and fall of testosterone levels can lead to health, although the increase was still detected within reasonable limits.
"The first study found a positive effect on testosterone levels rise," said study leader Sari van Anders.
Research published for the journal Hormones and Behavior, examined the levels of testosterone in 49 women before and after cuddling, intercourse and physical exercise.
After sexual activity, respondents were asked to fill out questionnaires, including the experience of orgasm, levels of sexual desire, and the feelings they felt after intercourse.
In this exercise also beperan, since physical activity itself can alter a person's biochemistry.
The study noted the level of testosterone in the respondents before and after cuddling and intercourse are significantly different. Testosterone levels rose after intercourse. The higher levels of testosterone, the female orgasm will get better, and feeling sexy is increasing in the next day.
The second study also examined the increase in testosterone levels, but performed on single-status respondents, monogamous (sex with one partner) and polyamorous (sex with more than one partner).
The researchers found that those who enter the category of polygamy have higher testosterone levels than single and monogamous.
