Sex Feels Good, Despite Economic Woes!

I just read an interesting article about sex and the recession. Consumer Reports magazine just published results of a survey of 1,000 American adults that finds the recession is not affecting American’s sex lives. Fox News has countered that study with an expert of its own. Dr. Ian Kerner, a sex expert, says the economy inhibits the libido, which means they’re too depressed or stressed to have sex.



All studies and experts aside, men often use their economic status to define—at least in part—who they are. So logically, a recession would cause many men to have a lower self esteem. Women, on the other hand have a difficult time tuning out their day when they are in the bedroom. It’s not unusual for a woman to not be in the mood for sex because she had a bad day or there are dirty dishes in the sink. So women, like men, would let money troubles impact their romance, right?



So why did the Consumer Reports survey seemingly counter what the experts, and common sense, are telling us? Couples are having as much, if not more, sex during this recession. Could it be that no one wants to admit to having less sex? Maybe life has become so hectic for some that they don't realize they are having less sex?



To me, the answer is simple. When you feel bad you seek out something to make you feel better. How many times have you thought: "I just need a vacation; I just want to get away from everything for a little while"? Well sex is like a mini-vacation from your problems and it doesn't cost anything. To put it simply sex feels good and it makes you feel better. No matter how high or low your bank account statement is: Sex Just Feels Good.
