Having S*x Increases Your Sense Of Meaning In Life

It’s known to make you happier and even decrease pain, and now a new study has revealed that having sex also increases your sense of meaning in life.

Researchers from George Mason University looked at the factors that affect your mood and sense of meaning in life, and found that sex was a key factor.

In their study, published in Emotion , the researchers, led by Todd Kashdan, wrote: “In theoretical models of well-being, sex is rarely discussed and in many seminal articles, ignored.”

The researchers asked 152 students to keep a diary for three weeks, documenting their mood, how meaningful their life felt, and any sex they had - including how pleasurable and intimate it had been.
