Can you save money by having sex? Britons think so. According to BBC News, Britons are turning to sex as a cheap way to pass the time and save money. They don’t want to go out and spend money especially in the current economic climate. They want to stay at home and do free activities such as sex.

However men and women sexes differed on their priorities, with women preferring to gossip with friends while men had sex firmly at the top of their list. Ok, no surprise there.

Sex can save your heating bills too, that would be nice especially in this winter where everything in economy seems to be messed up. It can rejuvenate your body and mind so that you don’t need to buy those ginseng tablets. Although it’s intuitive and obvious, research also shows that sex is better for your happiness than money.  Dartmouth College economist David Blachflower and Andrew Oswald of the University of Warwick in England estimate that if you increase the intercourse from once a month to once a week, that would be equivalent to the amount of happiness generated by getting an additional $50,000 in income. Wow.. that’s a pretty compelling number!
