Sex Need Not End in Older Years for Healthy Adults, Researchers Say

Thirty-somethings can expect to enjoy at least another 30 years of sex, researchers have found.
A survey of people 57 to 85 years old shows they maintain an active sex life.

At age 30, men will be sexually active for another 35 years, while women will be active for another 30, Dr. Stacy Tessler Lindau and Natalia Gavrilova of the University of Chicago reported online in the British Medical Journal. The results are even better for fifty-somethings: "At age 55, most folks can expect 10 to 15 more years of sexually active life," Tessler Lindau told MedPage Today. That's 15 years for men, and 10 for women.

Therapists say that's not unusual for someone with Ryan's condition. According to doctors, many children with autism have difficulty understanding information from the outside world.

San Diego, California (CNN) -- Peanuts are like poison for people who have severe food allergies to them. For some, ingesting even a tiny piece of peanut can trigger a potentially fatal reaction.
