Swedish Politician Advocates For Paid Sex Breaks During Work Hours 

bathroomIf you’ve ever fantasized about moving to Sweden, here’s another reason why you should seriously consider it: a politician is proposing that workers be compensated for sex breaks while on the job. The 42-year-old local council member wants Swedes to be able to take a one-hour paid break from work to go home and have sex with their partners. He expressed concern about couples who don’t have enough time together, and reasoned that sex is healthy and leads to “better relationships.”

In the Swedish press, he emphasized the wellness benefits of sex-breaks, which he said would be enjoyed by both single and coupled people. In a country where Swedes already enjoy breaks to drink coffee, disconnect and recharge, the sex-breaks would be another way to allow citizens to have a healthy work-life balance. The country, which works 9 percent less than the rest of the world, and is considered one of the places with the happiest people, would have yet another reason to keep the good mojo going!

Study Finds (Just the Right Amount of) Sex Will Make You Happy

best_phone_sex_niteflirt_havingsexThe link between sex and happiness has been well established. Like that famous study which found that increasing the frequency of sex from once a month to once a week increased happiness to the same extent as having an extra $50,000 in the bank! But as it turns out, this study and others like it are missing a very important piece to the sex/happiness theory: what’s more important, quantity or quality? A new study conducted at Carnegie Mellon University sought to answer this.

The study asked 64 straight couples to double the amount they fucked each week and then to fill out a series of questionnaires ranking how happy they were. What the study found, somewhat surprisingly, was that more sex did not equal more happiness—in fact, the participants were less happy, especially in terms of the quality of the sex and their energy and enthusiasm. One of the study’s researchers, Dr. Loewenstein, had this piece of advice as the takeaway for the experiment: concentrate on quality rather than quantity if you want to increase your happiness. It’s about pleasure, not frequency; those who like the sex they’re having will want to have it more, which will (obviously) help their mood.
