As a former math major who studied statistics, I'm not sure this article's conclusions are justified

statistician, do you also recall what your father used to tell you?

"Figures lie and liars figure."  While this article may not fit our propensity to express numbers in a way that will make them say what we choose, maybe you TER "old guys" are exceptions to the rule.

Or, maybe you could question their sample size or the validity of their data.

Am betting there is a flaw in there, somewhere, that can be manipulated to emphasize a more desirable outcome.

Don't you think?

Maybe these stiffs are just trying to cock block us old geezers and glam all the pussy for themselves?

In any case, I'm staying the course.  Worst case I'll go with a smile on my face (and perhaps a few pubes.

Agreed.   I think if you have low body fat, exercise regularly, and keep the fat intake down, you should be fine.

Besides, I can't of a better way of kicking off, when the time comes!

If a guy with a bad heart partakes in ANY vigorous exercise, it could be harmful.  

There's lots of research that points out the health benefits of sex (see link for an example).  I know that's true for me, but I also have a healthy cardiovascular system.

Right on!  Sex is good exercise and exercise is good for you, hence sex is good for you.

He told me I would become paralyzed or blind if I didn't stop.  He repeated this message as often as he caught me.
I off course continued and do so to this day and I am definitely neither paralyzed nor blind.  
I do admit, though, I was never very strong even when I lifted weights and I did need glasses at an early age

with a description of the physical Health of these gentlemen.
Also,    
       what ED medicine were they taking?

--Seems it's quite Healthy for ladies to continue with their Orgasms.  
TY---I will add to my "List of Benefits" for having Orgasms

I am calling BullShit on the Study.

  With what I have experienced and seen,  
Orgasms are Extraordinarily Important for Health and Longevity.

If they were taking ANY MEDICATIONS, that should have been revealed to us.
Western Medicine will affect you adversely.

Five years later??? And the age range was 57-85?
Cmon, a college...even though it's my alma mater...does research just for the hell of it  

Stay healthy by watching your diet, exercising regularly and limit alcohol.  
You'll be fine

It's just without ever getting laid, it just "feels" longer is all.

Personally, I don't give two fucks if it's true or not. There is no way in fucking hell that I am cutting back to "once a week"

I would most likely want to end my life immediately afterwards.

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 says that inactive men have events five years earlier.

I do believe that if you exercise once a week, you risk a heart attack.  But if you exercise twice or more per week, you fend off a heart attack.  IMO having sex is one exercise.  Fork or run multiple times per week consistently and you reduce cardio events.

I still have hands?

as you have a sharp eye for the parsing of words.

Anyhoo, I do agree with you.  Also consider this:

The best way to live a long time is to want to live a a long time, and what better way is there to want to live a long time then to get your rocks off at regular intervals?  Answer:  none

...I don't pay any attention to this stuff unless I can find & read the actual published study.  The article is in a UK IT publication and is done by a sociologist relying on data collected for another purpose from a population not selected for this study.  Thats right in there with 5 foods that make hair grow type articles.

Me I'll keep on with a healthy lifestyle which includes women.

...I mean wouldn't that be the classic case of "cumming and going at the same time". LOL. Ciao!

I am certified!

Though that was a few years ago (We've got to fix that.)

And it would be quite the feat to be able to practice without hands, would it not?

Besides, wouldn't the dick come apart first before the hands, if things got, (so to speak) out of hand

little I know about you, from your posts, I have a feeling you would end your life, first, rather than have sex with her.

She was very good and called an ambulance.  I don't think she faced any legal consequences as a result, and the guy survived.  By the way it's good to carry some chewable aspirin.  That's been known to quickly alleviate the restriction in the arteries and can prolong the time needed to get proper treatment

... who was not a provider claimed this happened to her.  It was pretty screwed up because his wife had no clue he was with her.  I believed her story because she had lots of details.

This calls to mind the father who caught his son masturbating behind the barn and told him to save it for marriage. When the wedding day came, the son invited his father back to the barn and asked him what he should do with the several hundred barrels of semen.

I remember a scene in Mad Men where Roger (with a cardiac problem) was told by a provider "I know the stories you've heard but no one ever died doing this."

I know the program was fiction and it sounds too good to be true. Sure would be nice though if it could be believed.

Good thing agreeing with the likes of you is not a life ending event. but I have to agree with you here.

Stories like this are always 2nd hand if they come from a client, but a lady told me this:

Client in his late 40's said he didn't feel good, and left early. Texted her later, said he was at the ER and they were treating him for a heart attack. Probably happened during the session several hours earlier.

The lady is question is, with me, very credible, and the story sounds real because it's much less dramatic than the apocryphal versions.

This is after a heart attack in 2000,   5 bypass in 2000, 4 by pass in 2004.
One stopped up now but I don't know it.    Woo Hoo   2 SB's I see each week. And once in a while an extra lady or escort.
