Men Have Greater Sexual Life Expectancy Than Woman According to New Study
March 10, 2010
(ChattahBox) – How’s this for a fair trade: While women statistically live longer than men, men have longer and better sex lives in their later years, new research shows. According to the report in the British Medical Journal, men want sex pretty much until they are almost dead. Overall the results of this study show that for both genders, those who are in good health are twice as likely to be interested in sex when they reach middle age and beyond. These people are also much more likely to experience a busy and satisfying sex life. However the disparity between genders grows with age. The difference is greatest among the 75- to 85-year-old group: 38.9 percent of men compared with 16.8 percent of women in that age group were sexually active, according to the study.

Common herbicide found to sexually alter and chemically castrate male frogs
March 2, 2010
(Chattahbox) – After years of speculation on why frogs and other amphibians populations have been diminishing a new study seems to implicate a common weed killer used globally. A study published Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), showed that the herbicide Atrazine, used primarily on corn crops, causes chemical castration in frogs and could be contributing to a worldwide decline in amphibian populations. While previous work has shown Atrazine can cause sexual abnormalities in frogs, this new study has stronger implications to frog populations. Researchers compared 40 male control frogs with 40 male African clawed frogs reared from hatchlings until full sexual maturity, in Atrazine concentrations similar to those experienced year-round in areas where the chemical is found and below levels that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency considers safe for drinking water.
