New research shows that old age does not stop people from
enjoying sex. With Viagra, there is even less problem?but it
COULD lead to a
population
explosion!
The little blue pill may do more than get the blood pumping. It
turns out that Viagra also increases release of a reproductive
hormone in rats. This could be the beginning of a population
explosion if older men using Viagra have sex with younger
women who are still fertile.
Researcher Meyer Jackson says, "This is one piece in a puzzle
in which many pieces are still not available, but it raises the
possibility that erectile dysfunction drugs could be doing more
than just affecting erectile dysfunction."
Meanwhile, BBC News reports that a survey of over 3,000
Americans age 57 to 85 revealed that people often remain
sexually active into their eighties. Researcher Edward
Laumann says, "There are a lot of people who feel that age is
very tightly correlated with sexual activity or interest, but it
turns out that healthy people are sexually active if they have
a partner, and that this is an important part of the quality of
life." Three-quarters of people 57 to 64 reported having sex
several times a month. Over half of those 64 to 75 reported
the same thing and one-quarter of those 75 to 85 are still
doing it.
