Scientist claims sex is preventing you from living a long life.

Basically how aging works is your cells keep replacing themselves over and over and each time they do they don't quite replicate as well as the last one so you start "aging" BUT there are currently animals that can basically live indefinitely, like turtles and crocodiles, who basically only die when they get too large or disease. Their cells replicate/renew themselves perfectly regardless if they are 10 or 100 years old. So when scientists figure out how these cells don't "age" and apply it to human cells we can virtually live until we die of disease etc.

It's a long way away though probably no where near our lifetime. We could be like immortals lol.

Or get rid of the "human" body and become a Cymek.

A Cymek was a type of thinking machine who used to be a human, but at some point in time had been converted into a cyborg: a robotic body controlled by the legacy human brain. They lived in the ten-or-so millennia before the establishment of the Spacing Guild.

The cymek's human brain was held in a preservation canister filled withelectrafluid. In this state, and with frequent upkeep, the brain could live for at least tens of thousands of years, and was able to control interchangeable robotic bodies through thoughtrodes.

If we wanted to reduce stress, then cutting back work hours while eliminating money worries would be FAR more effective than getting rid of your wife and kids.

Wasn't there another study saying that getting drunk and having sex results in more overall happiness?

Yes there was.

Perhaps our exposure to fewer studies will also lead to longer life and increased happiness.

My stress levels about money have gone way down since I've ceased to be a Canadian taxpayer...
