Way more fun, which is still sexually active on a regular basis so that brain function is maintained until advanced ages.
A study in Rockstock University showed that regular sex can maintain cognitive function or intelligence. Even until the age of 70 years, someone will not go senile if still regularly having sex with his official partner.
Research conducted by Prof. Peter Kropp and Dr. Britta Muller involved 170 people with an age range 63 to 75 years. The researchers interviewed the respondents related to sexual activity, and psychological tests to measure memory and intelligence level.
"The results clearly show that by staying active in old age, including sex, will help keep the brain active cognitively," says Prof. Kropp in the scientific report as quoted by Medindia on Tuesday (02/14/2012).
In addition, the observations also refute the notion that once older people rarely have sex. According to the observations, 70 percent of the elderly in the age of 75 are still satisfied with their sex lives compared to just 57 percent in the age group 63 years.
Typically, young people in the age of 20 years thought his sexual passion will fade when entering the age of 50-something years. However, in this study revealed, both men and women have tended increasingly active with age but his health did not allow.
Even if physically it is not possible, the important thing is to maintain intimacy between both partners. According to Prof. Kropp, just holding hands or looking at each other intimately can make cognitive brain remains active. [detikcom]
