Castrated men tend to live much longer than fully endowed men, according to a new study published in Current Biology, that could offer clues on how to extend the male lifespan.
Experts say possible negative consequences of castration include “decreased libido,depression and loss of physical strength.
Researchers say eunuchs lived 14 to 19 years longer than other men did. Three even lived to 100 or more, a feat of longevity that remains relatively rare among men even today.
Castration allegedly extends lifespan by reducing male sex hormones - testosterone is known to increase the incidence of coronary heart disease and reduce immune function in males.
Due to this immune function suppression, eunuchs could be better able to resist infections and are less prone to physically dangerous situations that could put them at risk.
The researchers plan to examine the lifespan of eunuchs in other cultures, but few expect young men to willingly undergo castration in order to have lengthier lives.

ReplyDeleteO bob no weapon o. Its better to live a sweet, juicy, loving, romantic and short life, than to live a long depressed, lonely, boring and castrated life.
ReplyDeletei still dey laugh
ReplyDeleteLOOOOOOOOOOOL! It's funny. In many species, no male lives beyond one mating session with a female.
ReplyDeleteAnaconda males usually get eaten up by the female he just finished having a long s+x romp with.
Male bees always die after mating with the female.
Now, this... men die young because of their sex hormones.
Maybe the world was created for the females and we males are just fertilizers for continuity. So, we're just sperm bags but you know what? WE LOVE OUR LIBIDO! WE CAN'T DO WITHOUT IT! LONGEVITY WILL COME, BUT IT WILL HAVE TO TAKE ANOTHER BUS. #StillLaughing!
