A new study found that when you lose your virginity may impact how well you age later in life, including outcomes like frailty and misery in older adulthood.
“Our findings suggest that the timing of first sexual intercourse may be connected to aging through multiple psychological, behavioral and disease-related pathways,” first author Kaixian Wang said in a press release.
They found that those with genetic signals tied to earlier loss of virginity tended to have less favorable aging-related outcomes, including higher frailty and poorer longevity-related measures.

“Frailty index, miserableness, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) appeared to play especially important roles,” Wang said. In other words, if there is a link between earlier sexual experiences and worse aging, these four factors — physical weakness, poorer mental health, lung disease often associated with smoking and ADHD-related traits tied to impulsivity — appear to be the strongest factors behind it.

That’s appropriate.

This is the most correlative “study” I’ve ever seen.
Nothing it it makes sense.
Bang bang is wong.
So reproductive activity starts the self-destruct sequence. Does that explain the shorter lifespans of blacks?
Do you have a study to back that up?
age 12...
and being 65, dont suffer from anything but 2 torn rotator cuffs... still go to work every day setting tile(in slight pain)...
Cleopatra? Mary Todd Lincoln?
Is it the same for men and women?
If you asked me then, I would have wished it was earlier. As it is, I guess I will live a long time.

I was all alone.” — Rodney Dangerfield
12?!!!!!
CLASSIC! Rodney was the funniest person ever.
“Yea, things aren’t going great, not great. I’m really sad. My wife cut my sex down to once a month... “
*audience groan*
“Aw... that’s alright. The guy down the street? She cut him off altogether!”
12? I’m not sure I knew what my “special purpose” was at age 12.
By 17, I’d figured it out! :-)
It might be that early sexual promiscuity correlates to insalubrious practices, such as drug and alcohol abuse.
Doubtful that early sex alone could change things much.
Candy is dandy but liquor is quicker, not much reason to question the old adage, to both endpoints
If you normalize for black on black murders you would likely find that blacks live as long or longer than whites.
As soon as i read the headline I thought of Rodney Dangerfield!
