[lbo-talk] AFP: "Economists find no link between sex, money"

[John Thornton]

I would have guessed that income would have correlated negatively with 
money up until the extreme upper income range where people do not work for 
their full income. In my lifetime the poor people I have known seemed to 
have more sex than the wealthy. Anecdotally, I had more access to sex while 
living in a squat in Chicago in the '80's than at any other time in my 
life. I had a job and an income but most residence of the squat either did 
odd jobs or did not work. When you are not working you have plenty of time 
for sex but the more and harder you work the less time for sex you have. 
Voluntary homelessness is probably rather unusual today but it seemed less 
so at that time.
