for the past month, one of my gal pals has really gotten into hearing what Dr. Oz (a regular on Oprah's talk show) says about health stuff and occasionally she'll mention anything interesting. well....................copied directly from the website:
"If you have more than 200 orgasms a year, you can reduce your physiologic age by six years," Dr. Oz says. He bases the number on a study done at Duke University that surveyed people on the amount and quality of sex they had. "They looked at what happened to folks that are having a lot of intercourse over time, and the fact is, it correlated."
Among the benefits of having sex often, Dr. Oz says, is that it can prove that your body is functioning as it is supposed to. "But in addition, having sex with someone that you care for deeply is one of the ways we achieve that Zen experience that we all crave as human beings," he says. "It's really a spiritual event for folks when they're with someone they love and they can consummate it with sexual activity ? seems to offer some survival benefit."
i couldn't find the Duke study, but in the book "Real Age Makeover", it more or less states the same thing:
"The more and the higher quality orgasms you have a year, the younger you are. The average has sex 58 times a year. Increasing the number to 116 through mutually monogamous, high quality, and safe sex is associated with a RealAge as much as 1.6 years younger. (More sex is associated with a RealAge as much as 8 years younger, depending on frequency and the individual)."
wait, there's more from Dr. Oz:
First, Dr. Oz wants to clear up a misconception that sex burns a lot of calories. In fact, sex only burns about 25, equal to half a slice of bread.
Instead, Dr. Oz says the real value of meaningful sex?not recreational sex?comes from the release of a hormone called oxytocin, which makes you feel community, love and empathy. "That is incredibly important because besides lowering your blood pressure, what it does is it tells your gut not to send signals to the brain to eat. So it's a wonderful tool to get you where you want to be," Dr. Oz says. Losing weight then tends to increase your sex drive, he says.
And, losing weight improves the sex lives of men in another way. "If you lose 35 pounds, if you're a male, you are gaining one inch of penis length," he says. Often when a man is carrying a lot of extra weight, Dr. Oz says a fat bundle builds up and starts to surround the shaft. As a man drops the weight, that fat starts to recede.
so there you go. if you want to stay "forever young", there's something you can do that's doctor approved---not to mention telling/convincing your S.O. that having frequent sex does a body gooooooood.
