Is Sex the Key to Startup Success?

Over at TechCrunch, Sarah Lacy just posted an interesting research tidbit:

“…Regular sex can make you a better worker bee. The dopamine rush from sex improves creativity making you a better problem solver. A boost of oxytocin and vasopressin generate feelings of trust, making you more likely to be a team player. And, a boost in testosterone can make you more confident and competitive.”

Sounds to me like if you want your business to succeed, then both you and your co-workers should be getting a regular dose of Love Potion #9.

I’m a super-virgin, does this mean I’m never gonna succeed??? Most startup founders are nerds, and a lot of nerds are virgins as well; then how come they succeed with their start-ups?
