Study: Good sex increases heart disease risk for older men, not women

ANN ARBOR, Mich., Sept. 8 (UPI) -- Mediocre, less frequent sex may be better for older men's health than having as much great sex as possible, according to a recent study.While women benefit from great sex, researchers at Michigan State University found men who frequently have extremely pleasurable sex are twice as likely to develop cardiovascular disease or experience adverse health event related to the heart.The study, published in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior, appears to contradict decades of research that has consistently shown the health benefit of sex for both men and women, but lead researcher Hui Liu said the study differs from other studies because it focused only on older people, which makes a difference."These findings challenge the widely held assumption that sex brings uniform health benefits to everyone," Liu, an associate professor of sociology at Michigan State University, said in a press release.

If you're an older man in a relationship and you have sex once a week or more, you may be twice as likely to have a heart attack, stroke or other cardiovascular event than a less sexually active man, according to a study released this week in the Journal of Health and Social Behavior.Especially if you enjoy it."Older men who found sex with their partner extremely pleasurable, or satisfying, had higher risk of cardiovascular events than men who did not feel so," said study author Hui Liu, associate professor of sociology at Michigan State University.The study analyzed survey data from 2,204 people enrolled in the National Social Life, Health and Aging Project in the United States.
