If you were given the choice between sex and a
longer life, which one would you choose? Apparently
a recent survey conducted by Mori Research in
England revealed that Britons would rather have
a longer life.
Of those making that choice were 48 per cent of
women and 31 per cent of men. Other results of
the survey revealed that 94 percent wouldn't
give up their loved ones for a longer life,
while half of those surveyed believed scientists
should continue working to prolong life spans. The survey was commissioned by private health care provider BUPA as part of a debate on the implications of an aging population, according to Reuters.
"Britain is facing an aging time bomb with major
challenges presented by retirement, the desire
to live longer and the increasing burden of
caring for older people," said Andrew
Vallance-Owen, BUPA's medical director.
Well, it is not that I don't like sex, but I
certainly wouldn't opt for a longer life,
unless of course, I was mentally and physically
able to enjoy it. The reality, however, is that
I probably wouldn't be, since I already have a
number of health-related problems. If science
could find a way to cure them, then I might
consider it.
What would you choose?????

a longer sex life = Viagra!
I qoute, "For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain" said Paul, the apostle. No one should be afraid of dying if such a one believes in Christ. If you eventually dies, it means express way to paradise. If you are living, you live by the grace of God.
I qoute, "Your loving kindness is better than life" said the psalmist.
The only thing better than life is God's love.

In my " soon-to-be-over " marriage the lack of sex by my wife is the culprit causing the sadnesses, resentments and divorce to occur.
I'll take the sex with my husband, and the kids we've got over an extra decade of life any day.
I'm not joking.
Sex is good exercise, has wonderful emotional benefits and can help keep both men and women healthy and happy.
Me? After my children (they come first) sex is my most favorite thing to do.
As much as I enjoy sex, frankly I really would rather have a longer life. Life is too short to dwell on sex, really.
