327...Better Sex Makes Better Workers

I was flipping through The Local, a Swedish rag that I am wont to read and I noticed the headline
Better Sex Makes Better Workers
Well, that piqued my interest. Ann-Christine Andersson Arneten is a Phd candidate at the University of Gothenburg and says that “Either you come home to something that gives you a possibility to rewind and recover, or you have a relationship that makes you more troubled,”
Some of the results of the five-year study involving about 900 men and women were obvious. Men like to get something something a lot a lot, quanity over quality whereas women like quality over quantity. If the getting is good, the working is too.

Also obvious was the fact that women thrived at work when they were in great relationships; did not thrive when in bad relationships. Men were different. The highest stress level for men was when they were in in-between, in the middle, type relationships. When a relationship was good, no stress and when a relationship sucked, same thing, stress free. It was the effort involved in the in-between deals that stressed out the boys.
