British Medical Journal information says sex life ends at 70
March 13th, 2010 - 10:05 pm ICT by Pen Men At Work ( 14 comments )Mar 13 (Pen Men at Work); The normal person’s sex life ends by the age of 70, according to an account available today in the British Medical Journal. Males of the age of 30 years have an average of 35 years of sexually energetic life remaining, corresponding to 31 years for women, researchers at the University of Chicago’s department of obstetrics and gynecology projected after analyzing an inspection of 3,000 people.
A detached survey of older people demonstrated that by 55, men have an average sexual life expectation of 15 years and women can expect 10 more years, the researchers unearthed.People in first-rate or excellent physical condition were almost twice as likely to be engrossed in sex as people in inferior health, according to the examination. Men lost more years of sexual action in consequence of substandard health than women, the researchers divulged. That may egg on men to practice healthier lifestyles, they enunciated.
The researchers mentioned, “Translation of expectations about the duration and quality of sexually active life may, at the individual level, influence important health behaviors to promote or prolong sexual functioning, such as adherence to medical treatment or maintenance of a healthy lifestyle.’’In figures, projections of how long people will be alive vary according to age. Life expectancy amplifies as people reach middle age because they have endured hazards that earlier in life lessened their probability of making it to old age.
The squad, guided by Stacy Tessler Lindau, used information from a 1995-1996 survey of 3,000 men and women between ages 25 and 74 and a 2005-2006 investigation of 3,000 men and women between 57 and 85. Men were more prone than women to be sexually vigorous, according to the study.

Elizabeth, we are all very happy for you and your husband, but im afraid the article is right on for most people. The old addage of “use it or lose it” does not directly apply in this case. The second law of Thermodynamics applies to all organs of the human body, and sex organs, along with the main sex organ…the brain..wears out with time. Most men begin experiencing some erectile dysfunction around the age of 59 or 60. Once the Testosterone drops, its pretty much over. As you well know by now, you live with someone’s personality, not their looks or drive to be sexual. Personality, makes all the difference, for a long lasting relationship.

Oh, for heaven’s sake! Usually, it is medications taken for specific conditions that curtail sex; but, otherwise, the above ‘findings’ are a bunch of hooey!

At the age of 39 my husband only wanted sex 2 times a month, then after 10 years and no sex, I gave up. Now at 70, the stupid shit wants to have sex. Who is interested with someone who has depression,100 lbs over weight, fines nothing to smile about any more. Not Me! 27 years of marriage with 25 years of no sex. Give me a break.

I am 71 years old, very active including sex, which i find very self satisfying & I still have a tremendous vigor. I am excellent physical conditions, I jogged since I was 22 until the doctor told me to stop & do cycling instead. I have been stationary cycling for over 25 years plus I do a routine of about 13 weight machines per workout. My weight is 158 lbs.w/ a lot of muscle mass & i take many vitamins like tribullus terrestris, wild yam, & many more. I feel like I have the body of a 35 year ol person.

Your Penis’s are working, but your brains are not. This is the internet…you can say ANYTHING. Besides, its also anecdotal, even if it is true. Im 69, and still working also…so what? For most people, if they were honest, its about over.

This is a great opportunity for people to brag…All people over 70 who still have sex, with solid erections, please Post!! We will count the posts and make those dumb Scientists throw away their study…after all, internet statements are BETTER than science! Right!…
