Value Of Sex Measured In Dollars And Cents
<snip>

FOR the first time, researchers have conducted a study that measures the value of sex in dollars and cents.

According to the findings, couples who engage in sex at least four times a month bring themselves a measure of happiness equal to $71,500 a year compared with couples who have sex only once a month.

The measure was derived through a complicated calculation that converted so-called units of happiness into dollars.

The result supported a core of the research: Nothing makes adults - regardless of gender or age - as happy as sex.

Authors David Blanchflower of Dartmouth College, New Hampshire, and Andrew Oswald of Warwick University, Britain, used statistical analysis to evaluate data from a group of 16,000 adult Americans surveyed from 1988 to 2002.
