Erectile Dysfunction Drugs Not Just About Sex
Study says they produce mostly beneficial results... not just for ED
June 16, 2006 - Since the Food and Drug
Administration gave Viagra (sildenafil) its approval in 1998, “erectile
dysfunction” has become a household term – probably to the chagrin of
many parents fielding questions from their kids watching TV. But with
sildenafil and the subsequent introduction and marketing of Levitra (vardenafil)
and Cialis (tadalafil), many men have found answers to a
once-unmentionable condition. It is primarily a problem of senior
citizens age 65 and older.

Women Age Faster but Live Longer - Is Testosterone
the Cause?
Males allocate resources to intrasexual and intersexual competition
June 5, 2006 - It has been widely assumed that men
age earlier than women, as evidenced by their higher mortality rates and
shorter average life spans. But three Northern Michigan University
biology professors contend that the opposite is true. They say theory
and data suggest that females begin to exhibit signs of physiological
decline earlier than males, and that higher mortality figures are not
necessarily correlated with the rate at which we age.

Nov. 10, 2005 – Leave it to some old
geezers from
