Bigger isn't always better in the bedroom. In fact, if you're packing a big, sexy...paycheck, it is allegedly killing your man's sex drive? (We sincerely hope this isn't true.)

A study by Washington University's Olin Business School found that men married to women with higher incomes are more likely to suffer from erectile dysfunction than male breadwinners. So, basically we're supposed to let the man bring home the bacon and enjoy a great sex life, or nab a bigger paycheck and wave bye-bye to the boudoir?

Clearly, this thinking is outdated, the gender pay gap is still behind, and it's high time it be socially (and sexually) acceptable for us to make more money than our manfriends. But, like it or not, differences in earnings—specifically when it goes the way of us making more than our man—can present a touchy dynamic in dating. There are plenty of couples out there who believe (and firmly) in conventional notions of chivalry (i.e the expectation that he pays for dinner.)

We have enough to worry about with the gender pay gap. Like the fact that it got even worse in 2012, with full-time female employees earning 80.9 percent of their male counterparts' salaries as opposed to 82 percent in 2011, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Now we have to worry about our paychecks affecting our sex lives, too? A new independent study by, um, us, says that if a guy is turned off by your big paycheck, we might be turned off by him.

Do you make more money than your man, and how does he handle it? Shout us out in the comments.
