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.

Seduced by a teacher or a babysitter?
Middle Ages life expectancy? Women died in their 40s, if not before from childbirth.
Many scientific studies these days are victims of this fallacy:

It confuses correlation with causation—and produces total nonsense.
I just looked at your home page to see if you are from Alabama or thereabouts, but you didn't post your state flag.
Actually born in Birmingham and raised down in the Foley/Gulf Shores area.
the babysitter!! she was hot!! there was no seducing what so ever! if anything I seduced her, but that was impossible because at that age we didnt know how!! lol...
You didn’t read the conclusion either. Again for the stupid here - this is statistical nonsense being dressed up as “science”. They sliced and diced a ton of numbers to come up with an titillating conclusion they could make a paper on.
My dad used to say that candy is dandy but sex don’t rot your teeth.
I heard another one. The guy said that his wife liked it doggy style. Made him beg a half hour before she would give him any.
It was from a study, i believe two times was the average.
dad joke
You must have known something, since it went the way it did. I'd ask more questions, but it would be improper. Glad you weren't scarred for life.
I nailed it; and refrained from asking if it was your sister or cousin....LOL!
Like the other “child sex abuse victim” above, hope you weren't scarred for life. Males always think it's a good thing. It's not so good if there is a big age or power difference.
Nope, not a relative in any way. LOL.
And certainly not ‘abused’ in any way. And I put what she taught me to good use over the next few years.
Good one.
Glad you weren’t scarred for life.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
ooohhh there’s some lifetime scars Albion, but it wasnt getting into an older girl’s pants that did it! just sayin...
More related to longevity or lack thereof is being named Tyrone, Antoine, or any first name beginning with D’ as in D’Andre etc. Costs a man 10+ years in life expectancy.
And actually, truth be told, the freeper above has me beat by 3 months!! It was the summer of ‘75 and my bday is oct so I was actually 12 & 3/4s age..
Blame the Raquel Welch posters!!
Good to hear!
