WASHINGTON, Aug. 21 (UPI) -- A U.S. study finds workaholic men are champions in the bedroom.

Louisiana Tech psychologist Jonathan Schwartz and his colleagues tracked almost 100 couples who were willing to keep detailed records of their sex lives for a year.

"We are surprised because previous research indicated that wives of men who worked every hour in the day complained about the quality of their relationship," Schwartz told the Sunday Times of London. "But as far as I can see no one asked them about their sex lives, and those are surprisingly healthy."

The researchers found that confidence appears to be a sexual stimulant, at least for men. Both partners reported less satisfaction in relationships where men feel intellectually inferior to their wives or girlfriends.

The study was reported at the American Psychological Association's annual convention.
