According to a study conducted by the University of Chicago, healthy people engage more in sex as compared to not so healthy people. Researchers stated that this fact was applicable for middle age and old people too. A novel measure called 'sexually active life expectancy' was created by the author of the study and it stated that men who were 55 years old could expect another 15 years of sex while 55-years-old women could expect 10.6 more active years. As compared to women, more number of men however reported a satisfying sex life and this gap was widened as people aged. Dr. Margaret E. Wierman, professor of medicine at the University of Colorado Denver, said, "The new study points out that, over time, as a society women and men are becoming more comfortable talking about sex. Having a good sex life is critical to their overall quality of life." In all this, researchers found that men doing better than women needed extra concern. Two different samples of people were looked at by researchers. One sample involved about 3,000 adults aged 25 to 74 yaers, and another sample had adults more than 3,000 who were 57 to 85 years old. The number of men and women were equal. Positive experiences with sex were reported more by men than women. And as compared to the figures in 2000, more men today are reporting an interest in sex now. Weirman said, "This probably is related to new medications in therapy, so now men who before never could even think about having sex can have sex."
sex is a form of exercise, not to mention sex is practiced most by ppl confident with themselves, so ppl who live healthy lifestyles usually care about themselves to take care of themselves.
It took a study for someone to come to this conclusion??? It seems pretty obvious that healthier people enjoy all aspects of life more than those who are less healthy. So, where's the revelation, lol??
the revelation is in sexual enhancement for both men and women...people are actually talking about how to improve their sex lives...this discussion would have been unheard of 30...20...or even 10 years ago...it's no longer an embarrassing secret...it has become socially acceptable to ask your doctor...talk to close friends and discuss with your mate without the fear of rejection...
