Sex, You and Your Business (Some Random PG-13 musings…)

smilingclosecouple.jpgProbably best if you don’t read this unless – as Alan Weiss likes to put it – you know me a bit already, or you might be (a touch) offended…

I’d like to share a bit of a ‘naked’ truth, as it were, without pointing any fingers. As a business coach, I’m no longer surprised by how much and how often sex (how much, when, what kind, how great it was, or not) comes up in 1-on-1 coaching sessions. “Not that there’s anything wrong with that.” Really. It’s just not something they teach you about in Coach Training, as it were. :-)

So I guess it’s no accident that one of the chapters in ‘Money, Meaning & Beyond’ is called ‘How is Your Sex Life Affecting Your Business?’ Because I believe it does affect it, period.

At the risk of pushing the question too far, and yet completely helpless to resist, here are a few follow-on questions on this theme, because I am truly curious:

- Have you ever noticed a correlation between your sex life and how well things are going for you in your life and business? A connection that’s deeper than ‘feeling great’ afterwards, so everything’s taken on a rosy glow?

- What do you think the correlation is?

Great sex ==> Physical looseness ==> ‘Ease’ier approach to business (less stress, anxiety, struggle) ==> Better Results?

Or maybe it’s more like:

Fabulous day of sales ==> Celebratory glass of wine + a nice stint of flirting ===> Amazing sex?

Which came first?

I don’t suppose to know the answers here, just happened across a few of the questions. What do you think?

  1. Chris says:

    I reckon sex is not the central point but successfully relating IS. Without things like friendship, communication, emotional transparency, appreciation AND sex, the relationship table wobbles very scarily. Because they’re all key elements to thriving as a person, thanks to that relationhip.
    Sorry I’ll get back off my soapbox now!!

  2. I’d say they go together. Think in terms of the stars aligning. We all go through ups and downs. Life comes in waves, like the ocean.
