A new study from Japan has found that men who lack a sex drive may be at risk of an early death. Researchers at Yamagata University asked over 20,000 people about their sexual drives, as well as other health conditions, and checked back a few years later to find that a significant portion of men with a low sex drive had died. The link held strong even taking into account factors such as smoking and drinking.
Now before you start running for the Viagra, the researchers were keen to point out that it’s likely that the low sex drive itself is probably just an indicator of general poor health rather than a deadly case of blue balls. Women, however, have nothing to worry about, as their low sex drive didn’t seem to affect their health outcomes at all, even if they do claim to their husbands that they have a headache.
