It’s been said the Great American Horndog (men) needs to have sex every day to be considered happy.
But science says that’s not the case.
The University of Toronto recently unveiled their findings after a four decade study (wtf) which says the happiest people are those who bump uglies…once a week.
Yep, that’s it.
Not so, says Amy Muise, psychologist at the University of Toronto Mississauga. Her research on the relationship between sex and happiness, published Wednesday in Social Psychology and Personality Science, yielded a surprising conclusion: the happiest people tend to have sex only once a week.
Muise’s study, which examined data from 25,510 Americans ranging from 18 to 89 years old over the span of four decades, explored the relationship between frequency of sex and reports of happiness. She found that, yes, there’s a linear relationship between amount of sex and happiness, but only to a point. It’s perhaps better described as a”curvilinear” relationship: people’s apparent satisfaction tends to level off after getting busy just once a week.
“Although more frequent sex is associated with greater happiness, this link was no longer significant at a frequency of more than once a week,” Muise wrote. “Our findings suggest that it’s important to maintain an intimate connection with your partner, but you don’t need to have sex everyday as long as you’re maintaining that connection.”
Also, she’s wrong according to the Guy Hut study of being a man.
