Men who aren't horny 'twice as likely' to die early than randy counterparts – Top Scientists

Men with a low sex drive are almost twice as likely to suffer an early death than their hornier counterparts, boffins say.

More than 8,000 blokes were studied for over a decade by top scientists from Yamagata University for the ground-breaking study, that set out to determine whether there was a link between levels of sexual enthusiasm and death rates.

The results, based on both medical records and survey responses, concluded those with a low libido were a notable 1.82 times more likely to die at a younger age.

Data showed that those who admitted to rarely feeling in the mood tended to drink more, be diabetic, laugh less and be older.

Researchers explained: “Based on these results, we speculate that maintaining sexual interest may be related to positive psychological well-being… especially among men.”
