Abstinence Day Experiment

Mistress and slave had a relatively restful weekend, including a night on the town, an evening watching one of the Oscar nominees, and Sunday evening at home. We fit in some time with family. And of course there was plenty of sex, including a two-a-day Saturday.  For us, it’s common to have sex at least once each day, with the occasional exception caused by an early curtain call for one of us at work. That’s typically every other Monday morning when we are here in River City. For an older guy like me, it probably puts us as “outlyers” on the scale of sex frequency. According to an article I noticed in “Moneyish”, we might be having too much sex!

About one in 10 (12%) had no sex in the past year, 21% had it several times per year, and 34% once or twice a month, according to a study of 20,000 couples. One study found that having sex once a week is the perfect amount to boost relationship satisfaction.

So if we cut our sex back to only once a week, we might be less satisfied with our relationship?  I don’t think so! (The article does not say how many couples have sex 6-7 times / wk.)

One thing this article makes clear is that if you have more sex at home you are amore efficient and effective worker.

Having less frequent and less satisfying sex isn’t just a problem at home either: It also impacts your work. A study of married couples published last year in the Journal of Management found that, regardless of how happy their marriage was, the day after an employee had sex with his or her partner, she was more satisfied and engaged with her career. What’s more, people who engage in sex at least four times per week make more money than those who do the deed less frequently, according to a discussion paper from Nick Drydakis, a fellow at the Institute for the Study of Labor. Regular sex is also correlated with lowered stress and higher on-the-job productivity.

I may be putting this hypothesis to a test today.  I am the one with the early curtain call this AM. So while there was sex yesterday morning here at the UCTMW World HQ, there will be none this am.  Mistress has made it clear that while she enjoys here work-a-day cock, she does not want to be woken so early this morning. So slave will just have to “buck up” (or, I suppose, take matters into my own hand.) 

I promise to report back whether my morning of unwelcome abstinence will make me a grumpier, less effective worker today. I may have to survey my co-workers to see of they notice the difference.
