Harvard Study On Happiness: "Aging Liberals Have Way More Sex" Than Conservatives

Harvard study on happiness shows that aging liberals in fact have more robust sex lives compared to conservatives.

With regards to income, there was no noticeable difference in maximum income earned by men with IQs in the 110-115 range vs. men with IQs above 150. With regards to sex lives, one of the most fascinating discoveries is that aging liberals have way more sex. Political ideology had no bearing on overall life satisfaction, but the most conservative men on average shut down their sex lives around age 68, while the most liberal men had healthy sex lives well into their 80s. Vaillant writes, “I have consulted urologists about this, they have no idea why it might be so.”

Maybe because good sex involves tending to the needs and desires of others instead of just worrying about oneself? Something conservatives have trouble doing on both sexual and non-sexual levels.

My theory is those that can't get laid take it out on those who can. That explains why you see Viagra and Cialis commercials every 30 seconds but you never see commercials for women's birth control medication.
