Man, am I in trouble now....

Men Who Don't Shave Have Less Sex, More Strokes

As I sit her stroking my stubble, I' m feeling the need to shave- NOW....

A team at Bristol University who examined the link between shaving, coronary heart disease and stroke in 2,438 middle-aged Welsh men, said that men who did not shave every day were more likely to suffer a heart attack or stroke.

Over the course of the 20-year study, there were 835 deaths, they reported in the American Journal of Epidemiology. In all, 45% of the men who shaved less than daily died, compared with 31% of those who shaved at least daily.

Many of the excess deaths were due to higher rates of smoking and the poorer lifestyles of men who did not shave daily but the scientists said this did not explain their substantially raised risk of strokes.

The findings show that men who don't shave every day are less likely to be married and are more likely to be blue-collar workers. They also have fewer orgasms, tend to be shorter, and to suffer from angina.

Shhh...nobody tell Susan, OK? I AM going to shave this morning, just to be on the safe side. Never let it be said that I don't take science seriously.

(And speaking of serious, take a look at this, ladies....)
