Sexual Frustration Can Shorten Life Span

Category: Health & Physical Fitness



If you are expecting sex from someone and end up being denied, then you might croak sooner than expected.  A new study from the University of Michigan published in the journal of science suggests that sexual frustration can shorten life span.


The Researcher who carried out the study stated,

“Male fruit flies that perceived interest from their female counterparts without the opportunity to mate- experienced rapid decreases in fat stores, resistance to starvation and more stress. The sexually frustrated flies lived shorter lives”

There is no information provided about their female counterpart’s reaction to sexual frustration, hence, it wasn’t said whether female human’s also experience short life span following sexual frustrations. 

The fruit flies can be test for stress by measuring their responses.

The report said there’s a close relationship between the study carried out on the flies and the response recorded in the human.



For instance;

  1. People who have sex regularly have lower stress level
  2. Lower level of anxiety
  3. And people who are sexually active lives longer than those who are not
  4. Have lower blood pressure
  5. Several studies also have shown that women develop breast cancer when they are not sexually active compared to women who are
We have evidence that sex can be good for us but the interesting part of this particular study is the similarities between the flies and people.

“This may provide the first direct evidence how the brain processes expectations and rewards… in this case, sexual rewards specifically promoted aging”

So what is noted here is the “reward” is important to the physiological- like how we respond to things we want, and not getting them, its not just – are you eating the right things?, or are you sleeping well, its really what you expect and what did you get?
