Google Reader Shared German Love Study: No Sex Leads To Less Sex, Research Shows
I’m filing this under “Crazy Germans,” but also under “Productivity.”
That sex reduces stress — or that no sex increases stress — is hardly a new observation. A team of German researchers, though, is arguing that sexual frustration is a complex phenomenon not to be underestimated. It can precipitate a downward spiral, pulling couples helplessly and unbeknownst into a swirling vortex of all work and no nookie.
Ragnar Beer of the University of Göttingen surveyed almost 32,000 men and women for his Theratalk Project, which has found that the less sex you have, the more work you seek. Indeed, the sexually deprived have to find outlets for their frustrations: they often take on more commitments and work.

How exactly can someone stand to call themselves a “researcher” when they draw causal conclusions from less-than-significant statistics???
Maybe people who work more are too tired to have sex…
I still maintain it is women who are so exhausted from doing all the work that they’re too tired to have sex at the end of the day… and in response, men “find something else to do” instead of helping with the house work - thereby further infuriating the wife, who becomes so disgusted with her significant other that she truncates all sexual relations.
