Researchers have found that making love is one of the best ways to recover from the pressure of work and can also help improve levels of job satisfaction.

The study – published in the Journal of Sex Research – concluded that women feel the benefits of intimacy more than men.

Psychologists at Portland State University in the US asked more than 1,000 men and women in full-time employment how often they had had sex with their partner in the previous month. They were also asked to rate their levels of work-related stress and job satisfaction.

The research revealed that more frequent sex led to better scores for both job and life satisfaction.

The experts said: "We would encourage employees to dedicate uninterrupted leisure time to sexual activity to promote stress reduction, well-being and positive work outcomes."
