The British Medical Journal reports that many men remain interested in sex until they’re almost dead. Meaning, gay bars will never go away.
The study showed 67% of men ages 65 to 74 said they had been sexually active in the past year, compared with just 40% of women in that age group. And for those single, gay and dating, the figure runs to 105%.
The study coordinators believe Viagra has a lot to do with the “I want you NOW” gender gap. Since having a healthy sex life is a strong indicator of overall health (and a longer life). They also predict that if you’re a 30-year-old male, you can expect to have sex for 35 more years. The authors call this measure your “sexually active life expectancy,” or SALE. (I couldn’t make that up if I tried).
That means if you’re 30 you have 35 more years of gay bars! If that doesn’t make you want to cut your life expectancy, I don’t know what will.
