American scientists have found that a certain species of bird boosts its sex life by supplementing its diet, just like humans do. A team of scientists from the world renowned University of Colorado conducted a study into the feeding habits of the North American Barn Swallow and were amazed to find that the bird improves its sex life by eating insects that are full of antioxidants. The study showed that birds that ate more of the antioxidants had more sex and produced more offspring, whereas birds who consumed less were nowhere near as successful in the reproduction stakes due to their poor sex life.

Some surveys on male sexuality yield results that not only astound but also open up a pandora’s box of conclusions about the myths on sexual relationships between men and women. One such survey is the Great Male Survey from AskMen.com, which attracted seventy five thousand participants. The section on sexuality questions showed that 59% of the men think sex is a crucial part of a relationship; and that 39% of the men make love for only 15 to 30 minutes per session.

Sexual contact duration could be based on several things: libido, partner’s interest, stamina and erection duration. Some physiological factors that could affect sexual performance include age, previous and present metabolic or cardiovascular diseases (anxiety disorders, diabetes, hypertension etc.), self esteem, drugs being consumed, alcohol presence in the blood and time constraints. Some antihypertensive and antidepressant drugs negatively affect sexual performance, making full consummation impossible for men (impotence) and painful for women (vaginal dryness).

These findings on men’s sexuality contradict the previous knowledge on male sexual capacity. For years, the male equivalent of menopause, coined andropause, has been considered a myth, but men have long been talking about being unable to make love for one reason or another when they reach a certain age. With the advent of Viagra, the term “middle age crisis” has become linked with sexual dysfunction and inability to communicate intimate needs in a relationship. Those men who buy Viagra can now openly admit to doing so.
