Good sex makes you better at your job: study (TheLocal)

**Drew Wilson** · June 4th, 2009, 10:49 PM

A new Swedish study shows that a healthy emotional and sexual relationship can significantly reduce stress at work.

Ann-Christine Andersson Arntén is a psychology doctoral student from the University of Gothenburg. She conducted a five-year-long study on the effects of partner relations on work stress. Andersson Arntén said that people’s home lives can either help alleviate stress at work or push people over the edge.

“Either you come home to something that gives you a possibility to rewind and recover or you have a relationship that makes you more troubled,” she told The Local.

“If that’s the case than you cannot recover, and your whole system physically and mentally will become unbalanced. It will start to become more and more unhealthy and could end up in depression, anxiety, or sleeping problems.”

I assume that also includes having a voodo doll in the drawer of your desk.

**fleecy** · June 5th, 2009, 08:22 AM

shouldn't it be in someone else's drawer if it's going to work for you, though?

For a maximum productivity, maybe everyone should have one..

On a serious note; does it really take some Ph.D student to tall you something that most people already knew?

**fleecy** · June 5th, 2009, 08:52 AM

lol it really shouldn't.... wonder how much fun that study was?

**1cooldude** · June 5th, 2009, 09:01 AM

hmmm, anything relating to a sex study (I disclude all forms and branches of weird and sick) could be a lot of fun!

**fleecy** · June 5th, 2009, 09:05 AM

hmmm... doubt there's a way i can link that in with next year's studies. supposed to do an independent research project, though :)

**1cooldude** · June 5th, 2009, 09:09 AM

linking it with the next year's study and getting paid would be an ultimate goal..(but we walk a very fine line here..lol)

**fleecy** · June 5th, 2009, 09:11 AM

My aunt (the people from UK) professed during our dinner that if she had another chance at life (she's 67) she would have probably become a stripper (has a law degree but never practiced). At the time it was rather funny but then I started to think..stripper vs. lawyer? hmmm being a stripper may be just a bit more ethical.

**fleecy** · June 5th, 2009, 09:20 AM

lol and just about as lucrative.... she sounds like a real firecracker :)

**1cooldude** · June 5th, 2009, 09:24 AM
