- BinaryDelt, on 11/19/2007, -4/+43Kids are a result of Sex.
Men are Dads.
Hence, "Having lots of sex helps men live to 100."
Got it. - mojaam, on 11/19/2007, -5/+42Having lots of kids can also help dads go broke.
- inactive, on 11/19/2007, -2/+27My Son is turning 25 next month. I have six children...
Honestly, I'm not sure if I could handle another 50 years of my kids. :/ - Kallius, on 11/19/2007, -0/+23Having lots of children doesn't make you live to be 100. They just makes you *feel* like 100 when you die.
- NraButtons, on 11/19/2007, -3/+20So many babies!
FOUR HUNDRED BABIES! - Razster, on 11/19/2007, -0/+10I like this result - I think it might help better mankind.
- ashlocke, on 11/19/2007, -2/+11My grandfather had 12 children, and only lived to 46. 9 of them were women, if that matters...
- consoneo, on 11/19/2007, -1/+9Negative on your double post.... sexual intercourse (with a woman anyhow) is a lot different than masturbation, by way of chemicals produced and emotional responses endured.
- somespecial, on 11/19/2007, -2/+10Wonder if eight or more children is even better.
- Sippi, on 11/19/2007, -1/+8I just came back from St. Louis, to visit my Grandfather on his 95th birthday. He was a simple farmer along the Mississippi River and raised 4 girls. He is completely health except for his hearing which is starting to go a bit, but other than that he is in great health.
Something about putting in a hard days work keeps you healthy. - GREEDOnvrFIRED, on 11/19/2007, -0/+7If you want to live a long life you DO NOT need to be a dad. You need to have something to live for. That is why dad's live so long. Because the brain is constantly reminded "please keep this system up and running I would like to keep an eye on my kids as long as possible." The same works for old men with no kids, but vital lives that send the message "I am not done here." Your body and brain know when you are just wasting space and they will take you out.
- whyufail, on 11/19/2007, -1/+7Good for dads health, not so much for his children's children. Overpopulation is only healthy for you in the short term...
- inactive, on 11/19/2007, -2/+7Lemme show you some tricks of a lonely lonely fellow.....
- inactive, on 11/19/2007, -1/+6If you watch some documentaries on time and why people live as long as they do, one of the more common theories on the length of life depends on how often and how many new things you experience. Time goes faster when your doing something new, as in return its much slower when your doing things repetitive or common until time slows down so much you eventually pass away.Thats of course pushing aside medical issues. So in relation to that theory that would explain why he lived so long, but who really knows?
I wish i knew the link to this documentary off hand maybe one of you guys know it? - CornmealMush, on 11/19/2007, -1/+6Hah, my dad fits this exact profile. Don't worry mojaam, farmers are poor to begin with so no problem having kids. In fact, it's a labor force that can help offset some expenses!
- cougar618, on 11/19/2007, -2/+6Masturbation=/=sex.. You don't use nearly the same amount of energy
- encognito, on 11/20/2007, -0/+41. Living a long life is NOT the same as living a good life.
2. The candle that burns twice as bright burns half as long.
3. I would rather live one year as a lion than a hundred years as a sheep. - MeMongo, on 11/19/2007, -0/+4They may live to 100, but they wish that they were dead at 30. The last 70 or so years will be miserable with all those rug rats and expenses involved with raising a kid. . .
I'm just sayin' . . . - tecratour, on 11/20/2007, -1/+5Buried for promoting further growth in an already overpopulated environment.
- GiJoeBob, on 11/19/2007, -2/+5I am 38 and I have four children under 7 years old. There is no way I am going to make it to 100.
- hamobu, on 11/19/2007, -0/+3Thanks for the article. I am emailing it to my wife.
Oh *****! I forgot: I just bought a three bedroom house. Maybe I can furnish the basement and the attic and send a few kids to military school or something. - gbarberi, on 11/19/2007, -0/+33 or more kids? I call bulls***
No way. - ZenMojo, on 11/19/2007, -0/+3Children keep you young. Monogamy keeps you healthy. Marriage raises blood pressure. Sex and masturbation prevent cancer. So, basically, live together and have lots of kids but never get married.
- JAGUART, on 11/19/2007, -1/+3Better for him? Maybe. But that kind of thinking will kill us.
- gabrielg01, on 11/22/2007, -0/+2Such total crap this study is. It does not distinguish between correlation and causation. Around the turn of the century most people tried to have more kids, and obviously the fathers endowed with more smarts and more health could have more kids - the same smarts and health allowed them to live a better life, and reach a longer lifespan. This is correlation not causation.
On the flipside - you can go to 3rd world countries where people have many kids, but they have a short life expectancy.
That's how you know the conclusions of this study are garbage. - Arcanis, on 11/20/2007, -0/+2I read that as he only lived to 46.9 and I lol'd =(
- s0nicfreak, on 11/20/2007, -0/+2This probably works best if the kids don't live with you.
- norman619, on 11/19/2007, -0/+2And genetics doesn't play a more important role in logevity than the number of kids you have? I know plenty of parents who claim their kids will drive them to an early grave.
- HimThatSpeaks, on 11/19/2007, -2/+4Okay, follow me on this one. I have two kids, I am under 30, and I feel like 50. So two more kids and I will live to be a hundred, feel like it anyways.
- mikedpirone, on 11/19/2007, -0/+2he's lucky he made it to 46.
- mikedpirone, on 11/19/2007, -0/+2i feel really sorry that you view your father like that, i'd be more then ecstatic if i had 50 more years with my dad. in my eyes he is the coolest person alive, now that i'm an adult. the older i got the more and more i realized that he always had my best interest at mind, even when i thought he was just being an *****. in my eyes, someone that sacrificed so much for the betterment of my life, is one awesome person.
- r3bol, on 11/19/2007, -1/+3US government publish some ***** in an attempt to increase birthrate.
- voyvf, on 11/19/2007, -0/+1If that's the case, I think they've married the wrong woman. Luckily, being the 21st century, we have this new-fangled thing called "divorce" to solve such nasty problems.
- kbeast, on 11/20/2007, -0/+1I thought they were, but not according to their profile...unless they go to school in PA...you'd at least think they would be on each others friends list.
- MikePricee, on 09/21/2008, -0/+1So, I think there is relation with having more sex. http://www.healthwellnessproduct.com
- psg188, on 11/19/2007, -0/+1http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRuNxHqwazs
What a funny fake commercial. - masterdbugger, on 11/19/2007, -2/+3it never gave you a mathematical formula.... where you got those numbers bears no meaning.
- blacktaco, on 11/19/2007, -1/+2Hah my wifes grandfather, a farmer, had 10 kids. He was missing several fingers due to farming accidents and died at 64 or so [also a farming accident.] Obviously these results assume you aren't an accident prone farmer.
- OwdenBowden, on 11/19/2007, -1/+2There was a release (no pun intended) of scientific study which state that regular sex helps to keep you healthy and live longer. http://www.forbes.com/2003/10/08/cz_af_1008health. ...
- SpykerSpeed, on 11/19/2007, -1/+2Kids = Able to handle responsibility.
Farmer = Eats lots of vegetables and home-cooked meals? - thumperings, on 11/19/2007, -1/+2I wish Digg would stop reminding me I'm going to die. I always forget.
- Vironex, on 11/19/2007, -0/+1How does being young help you live to 100?
- s0nicfreak, on 11/20/2007, -0/+1Do YOU tell people your screenname on sites where you badmouth them?
- s0nicfreak, on 11/20/2007, -0/+1He's lucky he ONLY made it to 46.
- xike, on 11/20/2007, -0/+1It's not worth it.
- Arramol, on 11/19/2007, -0/+1On the other hand, he could be the world's first 35 year old centenarian.
- manstein01, on 11/19/2007, -0/+1Farmers also exercise a great deal more, and do not tend to eat the processed food/drink that most Americans consume. I call *****. More kids are the key to an early grave.
- wassim2k, on 11/20/2007, -0/+1Lots of compatible organ donors I guess.
- mikedpirone, on 11/19/2007, -0/+1you really really really need to get laid if you think that masturbation even compares to sexual intercourse, or even a bj at that, besides the fact that you jizz
- tahcoboy, on 11/19/2007, -0/+1My dad is turning 50 this weekend. I'm one of 6 children...
Honestly, I'm not sure if I could handle another 50 years of my father. :/
My Son is turning 25 next month. I have six children...
