Is it just me or is there a sub text here that says: “maybe it’s not the drug, maybe a good shag every now and then does it, and viagra consumption is a good proxy for knowing that”?
How do we now they aren't masturbating?
Viagra Is Linked to Almost 70% Lower Risk of Alzheimer's

#102It's the third option: I guess we all know it's not the viagra, but I would suggest it's also not the sex but rather what is associated with a lifestyle that includes the potential for sex: a lifestyle with connection, a partner and possibly friends. A bigger social group is pretty tightly related to better health outcomes
That could be very easy to prove right or wrong: if it's the sex, then the wives of men taking viagra should be less likely to develop alzheimer's themselves.
Or look at men who have a similar amount of sex without taking viagra.

When will we stop making “jokes” about women being objects to be passed around? Perhaps 2022 will be the year we grow up. I am hopeful.
Perhaps nobody is joking about women being objects to be passed around. Perhaps we're no longer restrained by conventional ideas of institutionalized marriage and religion.

#104As others said it's most likely different lifestyle and having sex than the viagra itself.
If they wanna prove it's thanks to viagra they should find people who don't have sex, take viagra and have lower risk of developing Alzheimers.

In the year twenty-five twenty-five, maybe. How did that song go?
Maybe you are not aware, but women also joke around like that — about men.
Everything is an object, everyone is an object, except at companies where you are a resource, just like a lump of coal or something.

Well it does get your heart rate up
According to my Garmin watch, sex with my girlfriend only gets my heart rate into the mid 90s, the same as a walk around the block. The significance of that data is up for interpretation, but I'm skeptical that sex is really a significant cardio activity.
Cardio is one thing.
But it also results in a release of hormones - giving a sense of connection, meaning and reducing stress.
I don't have data, but I would bet $ that sex is much more beneficial for overall health & wellbeing than exercises resulting in a similar heart rate.
Furthermore, sex is likely to indicate that someone has a loved one (connection, meaning, social life in general).

If you want it to go up to 180 go have a sex with neighbors wife. Jokes aside, isn't 90s is good enough? What's your normal one and high one after exercise? I honestly never measure.

I don't trust my garmins heart rate for anything beyond running. On my rowing machine it barely goes beyond 90 too, meanwhile I'm drenched in sweat. Must be something with the movement/positioning of the watch.
yeah, if you get the chance to be hooked up to a proper hr monitor while the watch is on youll notice its typically wrong. Still like having the tracking tho
Probably depends on the watch and the fit.
Re: Viagra Is Linked to Almost 70% Lower Risk of Alzheimer's
#109Correlation not [necessarily] causation! Lots of people suggesting having sex might be a prophylactic but also consider that a lower "sex drive" might also be a factor here. We don't know because we're looking at insurance claim data. You only see links. And only in people with insurance! You have to go much further to show causation.
It definitely has nothing to do with low sex drive. Isn't everyone using it now?
But why? My point is rather that if you don't want sex, you're not going to co-pay for a drug that helps you maintain an erection you've no interest in.
If you do think everyone is popping these, I'd suggest this is maybe a side effect of years of being exposed to too much spam and way too much under-regulated pharmaceutical advertising. They're not without unwanted side effects, and again, don't overcome a disinterest in sex.

According to my Garmin watch, sex with my girlfriend gets my heart rate into mid 160s sometimes. I never get there by walking.

Almost all Garmins can be paired with chest-strap HR monitors (much more accurate than any watch) if you want to confirm it's the watch. It does sound like it's the watch!
