These differences matter because having a healthy sex life is strongly associated with having a healthy life, period - and also a longer life. Scientists aren't sure about the causal relationship here. Sexually active people tend to be healthier, and healthier people tend to be sexually active. It could be that the fulfillment of sex gives you a health boost, or that being more fit makes sex better - or, more likely, it's a little of both...
...expected to have sex for 35 more years. The authors - Dr. Stacy Tessler Lindau and researcher Natalia Gavrilova of the University of Chicago - call this measure your "sexually active life expectancy," or SALE. A 30-year-old woman has a SALE of just 31 more years. (The study also finds that men and women who stay healthy and in good shape gain extra years of sexually active life in older age, compared with their peers in poorer health.) But women live about five years longer than men, so when you do the math, all this means that women go approximately...

These figures suggest that a lot of older women may be having sex when they don't really want...

Also, it is men's increasing physical and health problems that are most commonly cited (by both men and women) as the reason sexual activity declines later in life. (See a story about elder porn in Japan...
...festival invited various interpretations of what it means to look back and move forward. This year, BAF began with a panel discussion about Black Art featuring renowned poet and writer Amiri Baraka, one of the central figures in the Black Arts movement in Harlem during the 1960s. The panel also featured two perspectives from a younger generation—spoken word artist Joshua Bennett and scholar Cameron Leader-Picone, a fellow at Harvard’s W.E.B. Du Bois Institute. In defining Black Art, Baraka spoke of his experiences growing up in a segregated society and took an explicitly political...
