Marital life determines the length of a man's life

Sexual intercourse can extend a man's life span. Men's magazine claims that "for men, the more orgasms the better." He said, "A man who has 350 orgasms a year will live four years longer than the national average of 87 orgasms.

Sexual intercourse can extend a man's lifespan. Men's magazine claims that "for men, the more the better." He says that "men who have 350 orgasms a year live four years longer than the national average of about 87 orgasms." In addition to the extra four years, Roizen says they will also make people feel eight years younger than their peers. For ordinary people, is there an optimal number of orgasms? Roizen seriously suggested that 700 orgasms a year can make you live 8 years longer. It's an ambitious prescription: The average American man has sex just 81 times a year.

Roizen's formula may be new, but the benefits of sex and orgasms have been studied for years, and there's some compelling, hard evidence to back up Roizen's claims. A Swedish study in the 1980s found that some people in their 70s were still having sex at 75. Duke University followed 252 people for 25 years and found that "the frequency of sexual intercourse is an important factor in predicting longevity."

Just as the Great Wizard of Wales' longevity study was completed 10 years ago, British scientists interviewed nearly 1,000 people in six villages about the frequency of their sex, and then viewed all the death records so that the scientists could record their lifespans. Ten years later, they found that the mortality rate of men who had two or more orgasms a week was half that of men who had less than one orgasm a month. "Sexual activity appears to have a protective effect on men's health," the researchers concluded.
