As summarized in the [[Scientific_Blackpill#Health|Scientific Blackpill]] article, sex and relationships possibly have a number of positive effects on health. Especially loneliness seems to be detrimental to health and sex is also regarded as the most pleasurable activity of all. In one report it was estimated to be as lethal as smoking 15 cigarettes per day. Both excessive smokers and lonely people are 50% more likely to die prematurely than those with healthy social relationships and non-smokers respectively. Sexlessness negatively affects both men and women.<ref>Scientific_Blackpill#Mating_performance_is_significantly_related_to_happiness_and_life_satisfaction</ref> It is also suspected that the overall happiness of a country affects productivity and the economy.<ref>http://doi.org/10.1007/s10902-019-00074-1</ref><ref>https://www.economist.com/business/2019/07/28/employee-happiness-and-business-success-are-linked</ref> In fact, a Chinese company employed women to cheer up their male workers to great effect.<ref>https://www.nytimes.com/2018/04/24/business/china-women-technology.html</ref> | As summarized in the [[Scientific_Blackpill#Health|Scientific Blackpill]] article, sex and relationships possibly have a number of positive effects on health.

Sexlessness and loneliness are thought to have many different causes, some of economic and some of social nature. As local economies and businesses decline, the world growth together and economic growth vanishes, and social networks allow for social comparison with a larger pool, people become narcissistic and highly competitive for the increasingly fewer high status positions. The result is few coddled children who are prepared for late marriage, and women saving themselves up for the ideal mate etc. At the same time, a decline of tradition and gender roles etc. accelerates the trend. | |||
