Sex with a partner tends to be a bit more of a workout than by yourself so if she really loved you she’ll help you keep up this workout program. Cardio plus free weights and you don’t have to necessarily get out of bed. Win-win.

Been done a long time ago.

Or it could be that healthy people are more likely to have more frequent orgasms, and some unhealthy people have very infrequent orgasms. So maybe it’s not that orgasms prolong your life but rather being healthy enough to live a long time means functioning well enough to have more frequent orgasms.

This was my first thought.

Damn, a possible flaw in an otherwise foolproof plan! So what’s the Dope? Can you all confirm my hypothesis that to live longer I need her help?

I was thinking the more orgasms she has from your attentions the less likely you are to be murdered in your sleep by unhappy wife, or by her new lover. Thus, longer lifespans.

Reminds me of the old joke:

Q: How is sex better than bowling?
A: The balls are lighter and you don’t need to wear ugly shoes.

It has to be from a partner.

Now you can tell her you read it on the internet.

Thanks! I owe you one!

Telling her that her excess weight is good for your sex life will probably result in no sex life.

Well at least according to this more masturbation in the fifties parallels lower prostate cancer risk, but frequent masturbation in younger men may be correlated with higher prostate cancer risk.

Personally I don’t really think the study was large enough to mean much, and most studies I’ve read say that masturbation lowers prostate cancer risk seemingly in younger and older men. You’ve also got to remember that it may just be a chicken and egg thing I mean its hormones driving the masturbation in the first place.

I’ll report back in 150 years with my findings.

I’m not sure the basic result referred to has strong evidentiary support, but more generally, surely the body does not physiologically distinguish orgasms based on stimulus source…

But if the body lives longer if it has frequent emotional soothing, which can arise from many sources but most conspicuously from events associated witn orgasm, any longevity-promoting activity could be based on the more visible of the attending metrics, orgasm, rather than the underlying more latent causation.

The OP went about it all wrong. He should have stated his doctor recommended 3 - 4 ejaculation per week, minimum, for good health. Then tell the wife “Honey, I need your help cleaning out the pipes to stay healthy. Doctor’s orders!”.
