That’s according to a new survey from Univia, which claims those who indulge in a bit of regular self-love are more likely to become managers.
For the survey, 1,012 people were quizzed on how often they play five-on-one, as well as their job habits.

As reported by the Mirror, Univia explained:
They were more likely to be employed, more likely to hold management positions, and more likely to earn higher salaries.
Not one to regularly engage in a five-knuckle-shuffle? Well, Univia found in their research that infrequent wankers earned an average salary of $44,006 (£35,876), while those who jack off, or indeed jill off, once a week earned $47,076 (£38,381) on average.

Univia added:
The boost in self-confidence that masturbation was previously shown to cause may be one major contributor to higher paychecks, for it can take a certain amount of confidence and bravery to ask your boss for a raise.
In other words, masturbation may be correlating with the self-confidence boost needed to ask your supervisor to pay for what you deserve.
The study found that those who regularly shake hands with the milkman were eight per cent more likely to ask for a raise.
