Sex! It sounds X-rated just saying the word. But it is an important facet of entrepreneurship. A healthy sex life, might just mean a healthy business. Here is what members of the TPE community have to share about the subject of SEX:

1. Yes & No - But That's All I'm Tell'nThe Sex Quotient of Entrepreneurs: I'd like to think entrepreneurs have more sex than non-entrepreneurs, but I can't verify that. Nor can I comment b/c I haven't had sex in...well, longer than I can share here:) Which brings me to the 2nd question regarding sex and success. I can comment on that: I've had MORE success in the period of time I haven't had sex. Now, I don't recommend this as a formula for success! God knows I miss sex:) However, I can say that not letting sex get in the way has helped me get more done. That's all I'm tell'n...for now... Thanks To: Weston Lyon of Weston Lyon's Secret Society |

2. Entreprenuers Make Better Lovers!The Sex Quotient of Entrepreneurs: I think that entrepreneurs have to be more creative when it comes to finding time to have sex, but I suspect that they may have more sex or at least more interesting sex than non-entrepreneurs simply because they are more daring and adventurous than non-entrepreneurs. Sex certainly brings more success to entrepreneurs in the sex industry. I do think that entrepreneurs who have a healthy sex life are generally happy and more productive and that would reflect in their general success! Thanks To: Jackie Gordon of Divalicious Chocolate! |
3. Honey SexThe Sex Quotient of Entrepreneurs: Queen bees have sex with an average of 7 to 20 male bees, which produces better worker bees and a greater supply of honey. Queen bees are successful multi-level entrepreneurs. More sex does indeed create more success. |

4. Headboard Brain StormingThe Sex Quotient of Entrepreneurs: This subject is a double edge sword! Yes, if you're a successful entrepreneur the opportunity to have more sex is an option for you if you want it to be. The opposite sex is more likely to be attracted to you because you have M.P.R. "Money, Power, Respect". However, the grueling path to success could lead to a dull sex life for any entrepreneur because growing a business takes time, energy, and sacrifice. I propose finding a partner who loves you, support you, and doesn't mind engaging in a bedroom brain storming sessions. Who says entrepreneur can't have their cake and eat it too. I sure want too! Thanks To: James Taylor of Taylored Athletes, Inc. |
5. Rocket In Bed And BusinessThe Sex Quotient of Entrepreneurs: The dynamics of your sex life is a good indication of the health of your business. If you choose a partner with a strong sense of self, then you will have a rocket in bed and abundance in your business. If your sex life and business are struggling, add toys! |

6. The Art Of Making OutThe Sex Quotient of Entrepreneurs: Mastering “The art of making out!” is key to life success. See it as “a symbolic expression of surrendering yourself to a juicier experience of life. It’s a metaphor for letting go. The thesis in this book is that letting go is the meaning of life itself. […] To experience both grief and joy. Both pleasure and pain.“ It may include sex, but not necessarily. Experience life fully. Your way. Let go, dare to be disappointed and go for your dream… otherwise you will never have a chance to enjoy it. I know you would want to hear about “The art of making out!” live – check my blog for the details! Thanks To: Johanna Nilsson of Loving Life Blog |

7. Let Napoleon Hill Coach You On "sex Transmutation"The Sex Quotient of Entrepreneurs: "The Mystery of Sex Transmutation" is the title of a chapter in Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich on why most men don't achieve their greatest success until after the age of 40, which is when they learn to channel their sex drive into higher-level pursuits.

8. More Sex Please !!The Sex Quotient of Entrepreneurs: YES, YES AND YES ! I haven't really done a study on sex amongst NON ENTREPRENEURS !! I have ALWAYS said "You just can't pick your passions" When you are passionate you do so in everything,so how do you fight to survive, believe in what you do and then just lie back and think of Ireland,when in the bedroom??! You give it your all and you feel great !! Feeling great just energizes you !! ENOUGH SAID......... Thanks To: RACHEL GAFFNEY of RACHEL GAFFNEYS AUTHENTIC IRISH GOODS |

9. Confidence And A Rebel Attitude Is Sexy To Anyone!The Sex Quotient of Entrepreneurs: Who would you rather be with: A) Someone who's constantly beat down from working for the man, attending dozens of useless meetings with no progress week after week, and living an unhealthy cubefarm lifestyle. or B) Someone who's doing their own thing, going after their dreams, and making measurable progress towards their goals. The choice is pretty clear and easy. I'm not saying being an entrepreneur is easy. It's really tough. But the rewards definitely spill over into all aspects of your life- including your sex life. It's all about happiness, and whether you're an entrepreneur or a corporate guy you have to find a way to follow your bliss. Thanks To: Patrick Ortman of PatrickOrtman, Inc. |

10. ~ The Fire Within ~The Sex Quotient of Entrepreneurs: "What sex is, we don't know, but it must be some sort of fire. For it always communicates a sense of warmth, of glow. And when the glow becomes a pure shine, then we feel the sense of beauty." ~ D. H. LAWRENCE I don't believe in sex for sport. Sex for the sake of sex. But the act of two connected people igniting together is nothing short of miraculous. The miracle doesn't stay between the sheets. We carry it with us, in us, throughout the day. I tuck the memory of you in my pocket. Entrepreneurs are bloodthirsty pirates, passionate pioneers. We thirst for adventure. Do we have more sex than our non-entrepreneurial counterparts? I haven't a clue. I can't venture to guess about the quantity or frequency of sex ~ only the quality of it. My guess is the sex that is had is superior. Sublime, actually. And that radiates from our pores. We glow, we shine, we catch fire ~ we are in sync with the universe. All qualities increasing one's desirability and likelihood for success in life ~ boardroom, bedroom, everywhere in between. Thanks To: Felicia Morgenstern of Studio Segundo |

11. Better Relationship Means Better Sex Means Better BusinessThe Sex Quotient of Entrepreneurs: What people don't realize is a healthy, happy, and connected relationship brings greater success to the entrepreneur. You have more energy, are more upbeat, and your spouse supports you. What does this have to do with sex? Well, if you are keeping your relationship happy/healthy/connected, it naturally follows that more sex happens because you are more intimate. So the smart entrepreneur knows a good relationship pays in gold both intimately and on the way to the bank. Thanks To: Kim Leatherdale of Happy Couple Expert |

12. Having Sex Helps Keep Me FocusedThe Sex Quotient of Entrepreneurs: I don't know about other entrepreneurs, but when I have sex, I have to concentrate and focus on the final result. I do the same thing in business. So having sex actually helps me to stay focused. It literally trains me in keeping my concentration and focus when I am engaged in business. A friend told me years ago that what you do in your personal life you will do in your professional life. I took that with a grain of salt initially. But after realizing what I am doing during sex, I found I am doing the exact thing in my business - concentrating and being focused. So I connect the two together. I am not saying sex has improved my business, because I keep the same level of intensity as I did from the beginning. Sex does help keep me on top of my game. Thanks To: Harry Husted of ESL-Training |

13. Quickies Keep You HealthyThe Sex Quotient of Entrepreneurs: I think entrepreneurs are extraordinarily creative. That creativity crosses over into all areas of life -including sex. More sex = happy entrepreneur = more success in my book! Thanks To: Ann Ronan of Authentic Life Institute |

14. Only If You're GoodThe Sex Quotient of Entrepreneurs: Sex and Success have one thing in common. The better you are the more opportunities that will come your way. If you are not good at what you do there will be no repeat business. Thanks To: Derrick Hayes of WOE Enterprises |

15. Good For Business!The Sex Quotient of Entrepreneurs: For me personally I find that I tend to have a better day when I spend and intimate night with the wife. One the other hand after a rough business day, a night of love making relieves the tension! Being in the baby gift business the wonderful after affects of people having sex helps our bottom line! Thanks To: Mychal Connolly of Stinky Cakes |

16. More Or Less It's Creative Sex!The Sex Quotient of Entrepreneurs: Oh, ouch. This question brings the personal into business! I say Creative Sex brings more success to your business. 1) Do entrepreneurs have more sex than non-entrepreneurs? No, but entrepreneurs have creative sex. Creative attempts in this area strips away a lot of fear in the social world. 2) And does sex bring more success to the business? Yes! You'll surprise yourself at how much more you'll feel happy and less negative as well as less likely to give up on your dreams. Don't know why, just does.

17. At Times, It's All About Sex!The Sex Quotient of Entrepreneurs: In answer to your first question, I haven't talked to other entrepreneurs about their sex lives lately, but mine's just dandy, thank you. As to your second question, the kind of business you're in determines how sex influences it and how to use sex in promotion. In a way, our company is all about sex--we sell boutique-quality baby gifts, baby products and baby shower favors. Since you can't have babies without sex, we definitely depend on sex, and lots of it, to keep us going, but we usually don't make it a focal point on our retail site, unless we use a photo showing a bit of a baby's cute, little bottom. We do, however, write blogs that sometimes reference sex in relation to various pregnancy issues. So, in our case, I'd say sex certainly sells. Thanks To: Susan Hawkins of Corner Stork Baby Gifts |

18. You Gotta Bang It OutThe Sex Quotient of Entrepreneurs: You here it over and over in my office. Sometimes when you are doing a project that is boring, your mind drifts... and to get back on track you need to try to gain focus and bang the project out. Unfortunately most of us can't keep the focus. But, there is a cure: Sex! A good sex life is essential to everyone people and absolutely critical for entrepreneurs because it brings back focus. A good sex life brings mental balance, and that bring focus back to the work at hand. Who knew you can bang more out, by banging (ahem) more?!?!

19. Sex & BalanceThe Sex Quotient of Entrepreneurs: The word "Libido" is Latin for life force. Ideally, when one's libido is attended to and flowing according to his/her own needs, everything else (including business) seems to flow more smoothly. It could be said that a heatlhy sexual expression is a direct reflection of a healthy lust for life. Again, balance is the key. Thanks To: Nancy Irwin of Dr. Nancy B. Irwin, Psychotherapist/Clinical Hypnotist/Speaker/Author |
