Sex is bad for older men, and even worse when it's good

Re: I think, on balance,

This reminds me of the old Russian joke about not drinking, "Do you actually live any longer?" NO, it just seems that way.

From my perspective I'd have thought that being sexually inactive is more likely to cause an early death, nothing worse for the old ticker than a life of constant frustration.

BTW, have you got this whole story the wrong way around, or was that a massive typo?

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.”

This is saying that men who make the beast with the 2 backs get an extra 5 years before the ticker gives up since there is clearly no point in still being alive any more.
