Workaholics Make The Best Lovers

GOOD news for aspiring high achievers and borderline workaholics: you may be remiss in friendships and asleep at family gatherings, but you will be a big hit in the bedroom.

Men who have difficulties balancing career and home life scored highest in a study of their wives' or girlfriends' sexual satisfaction, unveiled last week at the annual gathering of the American Psychological Association.
The research challenges the popular notion that spouses of busy men are typically desperate housewives living lonely, unfulfilled lives. They may not see their husbands as much as they would like, but when they do, sparks fly.

Psychology professor Jonathan Schwartz said his team of researchers were taken aback by the results of their analysis of almost 100 sexually active couples who over a year recorded the most intimate details of their love lives.

"We are surprised because previous research indicated that wives of men who worked every hour in the day complained about the quality of their relationship," Dr Schwartz said.

"But as far as I can see, no one asked them about their sex lives, and those are surprisingly healthy."

The study asked women to measure satisfaction by combining the physical aspects of sexual performance, such as orgasm frequency and intensity, and psychological aspects such as intimacy.

1. How do they know all of that sexual satisfaction

was with their husbands ?

They may have a lot of spare time.

2. I wonder if they accounted for financial stability...

in the survey? Psychologists and Sociologists have argued for quite a while that interpersonal relationships are just rational choice decisions, and not romantic love as we generally think about it. I would think that this is a spurious finding if other factors were not considered.
