Ahhh, yes. The fountain of youth. The secret to longevity. Who doesn't want in on such hot news?
Apparently the secret lies in sex, but that's where it gets complicated. I ran into this article about Clara Meadmore, a 105-year-old virgin in the UK. She claims her long life is a result of complete, untainted celibacy. This made me think of Harvard Professor Walter Willett, who stated in 2002 that the key to a long and healthy life is Greek cuisine and plenty of sex.
Personally, and I am willing to bet that almost everyone is with me on this, I prefer option b. A life without Greek food and sex? Scary. 
Who are you more inclined to believe - the 105-year-old virgin who is still living her long life, or the Harvard Professor with all of his research? What is the key to longevity - sex or no sex?

Sex or No Sex?

I'm inclined to believe the prof. I've done a number of "what your real age vs. your chronological age" tests, and they ALWAYS include questions about the number of orgasms you have regularly. On these, more orgasms = younger. It also just makes evolutionary sense; why make the thing that is supposed to perpetuate your species something that will lead to its diminution?
