Well-rested women in danger of bouncing their men into early grave Older women getting their full quota of kip are far more likely to be getting a full quota of other types of bedroom action too, research by the North American Menopause Society has shown. The news should bring a smile to the face of male partners of more mature women - except that it has already been proven that men who are …
I think what they mean is this: "“men who had sex once a week much more likely, five years later, to experience cardiovascular events than men who were sexually inactive.”
As it is written in the article, it means that the sexually active have to wait an extra five years for their cardiovascular event.
> The study found that older men who had sex once a week or more were “much more likely to experience cardiovascular events five years later than men who were sexually inactive.”
> “Moreover, older men who found sex with their partner extremely pleasurable or satisfying had higher risk of cardiovascular events than men who did not feel so.”
Given the choice, I would rather die due to having too many orgasms, than die later on without having many at all.
I am sure monks live statistically longer than I probably will, but doesn't mean I would want to sacrifice rumpy pumpy for a few extra years.
We are all going to die anyway, might as well die in ecstasy.
As for the older ladies, I guess this is a good argument for having a younger sex partner. Less likely you will make their heart explode due to excessive physical exertion. I guess the cougars had the right idea.
> Phwoar, can you imagine? Retirement is going to be awesome, and it's only about 50 years until I can manage it too!
Lucky! the way things are going, the retirement age for me will be raised into the 90s by the time I am due for retirement. So... might as well have the above mentioned fun instead.
Saying that, I try to get 6-8 hours sleep, I feel more energised and active when I manage a full kip, so probably not an "old person" thing. More like "people who sleep properly have more energy for physical activities". Just so happens old people don't have to get up early for the daily rat race, hence are more physically active.
“somewhat or very satisfied with their current sexual activity”
Is a bit vague
If we assume a 0 to 100% scale of satisfaction, then presumably anything above 0 could theoretically count as somewhat - a bit more precision on the wording would have been good, with that level of granularity fairly meaningless IMHO
Somewhat - about as vague as you can get.
Well it depends what "sexually satisfied" means. My wife and I are are in this age group, and from my wife's perspective (not mine), having little or no sex seems to satisfy her most. This leaves all night for sleeping and 8 hours is easy to achieve. So we have both correlation and causality but not causality in the direction implied by the study.
are more likely to spend less time in the kitchen, which implies less healthy high fat, high sugar and high sodium food, which in turn implies greater risk of early heart disease.
so go ahead and plow that "well rested" woman till your 'nads beg for mercy.
you're welcome!
Die with a smile on my face. The alternative seems to be terrible. It is kinda like the tombstone that says:
"And I ate all that kale for nothing!"
Me? I like a nice juicy steak, baked potato (with sour cream, chives, AND bacon!). Of course if genetics has anything to do with it, I'll live into my 90's like my mom (still living at 98) and dad (lived to 94!). So, damn the studies full speed ahead.
Consider that humans almost never lived past the age of 35 until a few thousand years ago, and none of our body systems are evolved to last so long. By living into our 70s we're all doing a Mars Rover and hanging around waaay beyond our design spec.
Our base condition as Old Folks is not "normal life goes on". It's more like "old car with worn out parts, lots of rust and dents". I'm impressed that any of us can still shag at that age. Hopefully this kind of research will help us find ways to keep the rusty old clunker running right (so to speak).
I'm calling citation needed on that one. What happened a "few thousand years ago" that suddenly increased human life span? I'm guessing you're referring to the transition from a hunter gather lifestyle to agriculture and urban living but why that change should be so beneficial is not at all obvious
