The secret is out. men can live up to 19 years longer. Perhaps this is why our own Dracula has such a long life..
Question: Would you take this route to gain an extra couple of decades ?

Researchers have shown that eunuchs living in Korea centuries ago outlived other men by a significant margin.
They say their findings suggest that male sex hormones are responsible for shortening the lives of men.
The evidence comes after study of genealogy records of noble members of the Imperial court of the Korean Chosun dynasty (AD 1392-1910).
Kyung-Jin Min, of Inha University, said: "This discovery adds an important clue for understanding why there is a difference in the expected life span between men and women."
Eunuchs were allowed to marry and had families by adopting castrated boys or normal girls.
Amongst the 81 eunuchs they studied, three lived to the age of 100 or more, a feat of longevity that remains relatively rare even in developed countries today.

Women do not outlive men generally. It is because cardiovascular mortality, although much less in early years in females compared to males, is levelled after menopause when the protective effects of the female hormones wanes.
MN, you may be right but we also heard that heaven lies beneath mother's feet (or something like that),
perhaps Henry Louis Mencken did not this angle.
Brit: your woman is crazy! and she looks like a mother bleeping Zombie!

Life without sex might be safer but it would be unbearably dull. It is the sex instinct which makes women seem beautiful, which they are once in a blue moon, and men seem wise and brave, which they never are at all. Throttle it, denaturalize it, take it away, and human existence would be reduced to the prosaic, laborious, boresome, imbecile level of life in an anthill. ~Henry Louis Mencken

sex is not as essential as water & air;
3 mnts without air/oxygen & 3 days without water will make you die but not w/o sex.
FS...
for bad eye sight - we have Al Jabor Optics...:)
for bad hearing - we get good hearing aids
for not able to walk proplerly - we have Olympic sports
were we get good shoes to walk properly...:)
for not able to fight - we have Dabur Chapanprash.
No one can live without sex! It goes against nature.
As human beings it’s in our nature to want to sex, whether that’s with the opposite sex, same sex, or with ourselves, BOTTOM LINE IS ((we as humans NEED sex as much as we need water and oxygen)).
why would someone want to live very long?
It will be really boring to live with bad eye sight and bad hearing and not able to walk properly and not able to fight well..lol

"male sex hormones" !!!
well, it's responsible for many catastrophes not only shorter lives :)
one of them is over population….:P
Men can live up to 19 years longer HAHA but marriage can make their life 19 years shorter
What are they going to suggesting? Castrate ourselves?
There is a growing body of evidence in favor of testosterone--- the main male hormone. It is role in over all well being is clearly established. There is even a suggestion that the hormone may even have therapeutic value in many emotional disorders.
I hope when i reach 100 i can use my tool as a walking stick :P
OK will do it after 70 ;)
FOODS FOR LONGEVITY
1. Broccoli For Cancer Protection Broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables are full of sulforaphane and other antioxidants that help to protect healthy cells from damage caused
by free radicals. But when it comes to the veggies, raw may be better: recent research has found that boiling in water has a "leaching effect."
2. Whole Grains For Cardiovascular Health Whole grains offer a variety of antioxidants and vitamins, and are packed with fiber, known to help protect against high cholesterol and
regulate blood sugar levels, which can safeguard against diabetes. And one type of whole grain in particular -- oats -- has a unique antioxidant
called avenanthramides that can offer additional protection against cholesterol.
3. Berries For Brain, Bone And Brawn Not only are berries good for extending life -- they improve the quality of later years. Berries are chock full of antioxidants that help protect against
free radical damage, but as Whole Living reported, one antioxidant in particular -- anthocyanins -- is particularly useful for brain function,
balance and muscle retention.
4. Dark Chocolate For Anti-Inflammation Dark chocolate is full of inflammation-reducing flavonoids, a compound that also has antioxidant properties and helps prevent blood clots.
But reducing inflammation is its real longevity trick, as research shows that molecular inflammation may be responsible for much aging and cell death.
5. Tomatoes For Cancer Prevention Tomatoes are a great source of lycopene, the fat-soluble nutrient that helps to protect against some types of cancer, like prostate, lung and stomach cancers.
What is a life without sex???
Live longer and do what or who??
On a serious note.
Would you consider such a life ?
I know thare are many couples today who lead celibate lives..
That's only for eunuchs, brit.
you can have fun doing other things. There are research papers, paragliding, writing books, reading, romancing, singing , bunjee jumping ............
and i thought Ginseng would do the trick....:(
If so, why would you want to live so long? Without the fun?
Whats the point of living longer then?
