Woah woah woah. I'm sorry but best, more money correlating to more sex is baseless. I have a hunch that the statistics probably go in the exact opposite direction. Without taking into account birth control, it's well known that birth rates and number of children tend to be much higher for lower income people than higher.

Birth rates have been decoupled from sexual activity since the 1960s at the very least. And are completely irrelevant to that fraction of the sex-having populace that are homosexual.

There is some evidence that higher-status individuals of both genders have more sex; and money is a fairly strong proxy for status in our society.

Higher birth rates doesn't imply more sex, it implies poor use of contraceptives, which you basically stated.
