I find it hard to believe I’m linking to Oprah, but… Dr. Oz (I assume he’s a regular?) is asserting that good health demands you have sex over 200 times a year.

“If you have more than 200 orgasms a year, you can reduce your physiologic age by six years,” Dr. Oz says. He bases the number on a study done at Duke University that surveyed people on the amount and quality of sex they had. “They looked at what happened to folks that are having a lot of intercourse over time, and the fact is, it correlated.”

Among the benefits of having sex often, Dr. Oz says, is that it can prove that your body is functioning as it is supposed to. “But in addition, having sex with someone that you care for deeply is one of the ways we achieve that Zen experience that we all crave as human beings,” he says. “It’s really a spiritual event for folks when they’re with someone they love and they can consummate it with sexual activity … seems to offer some survival benefit.”

Let me spare you the math… that’s four days a week. The fact that this was a university study presumes that there is a statistically significant group of people that manage to maintain that pace on a regular basis. I want to meet whomever organizes their calendar. Either I don’t know what I’m doing (with calendaring), or they don’t have kids.
