    Life After 50

    By Posted on 2.4.2008 1 Comments

    Most women cant have children after the age of 50, so whats the evolutionary point of living much longer than that? One good reason, scientists say, is to ensure the survival of your offsprings offspring.

    Uh, the reason there are no comments her yet is that either sex with or between old people is not news, or that your Popular Science registration process takes about sixty clicks, followed by: "ACCESS DENIED. You are not authorized to access this page." Now I feel indeed like a little boy who got in trouble for sneaking home a few of the 1962 Playboy's that the fishing enthusiast friends of my dad kept right on the bookshelves of their Mississippi River cabin (actually the St. Croix River, but very close to where they connect). Calling yourself popular "science", it might make some sense that popularization by both Bob Dole or Huge Hefner ("Viagra is he best recreational drug ever invented.") of modern treatments of male sexual vitality as well as an adoption of youthful culture by both young and old had some contribution to this, as did the lack of religious barriers to divorce and hooking up again, and again, and again.
