A new study published in the British Medical Journal suggests that people in good health are almost twice as likely to be interested in sex compared to those in poor health.

The study also estimate how many remaining sexually active years healthy men and women have left. The results revealed that at the age of 30, men have a sexually active life expectancy of nearly 35 years and for women it's almost 31 years. At 55, this figure changes to almost 15 remaining years for men and 10 years for women. This gender difference diminishes for people with a spouse or intimate partner. read more
