Losing your job may help your sex life
Notice that the relationship between financial stability and one’s sex life is markedly different based on the respondents’ age. Dissatisfaction with one’s financial situation doesn’t appear to have any effect on libido, because the younger, financially strapped respondents are having A LOT of sex.
The situation changes rather sharply after age 35, though. Perhaps by that age, financial difficulties make one a less desirable sexual partner. The moral is clear though - If you want to keep the fires burning into your golden years, get your financial affairs together early. (Not too early, though. Right around age 35 would be perfect.)
Age 35 is the transition point for the general population. Segmenting by gender, however, reveals another interesting pattern. For men, the burden of financial responsibility doesn’t become a prerequisite for great sex until the early 40’s. It happens a decade earlier for women – around age 30. Interestingly, this is just after average childbearing age for both groups. (The second inversion for men, at age 80, has a very small sample size so we’ll refrain from reading anything into it.)
