WOMEN WHO HAVE SEX AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH ARE 28 PER CENT LESS LIKELY TO HAVE AN EARLY MENOPAUSE COMPARED WITH WOMEN WHO DON’T, ACCORDING TO A NEW UCL STUDY. “THE FINDINGS OF OUR STUDY SUGGEST THAT IF A WOMAN ISN’T HAVING SEX, AND THERE’S NO CHANCE OF PREGNANCY, THEN THE BODY ‘CHOOSES’ NOT TO INVEST IN OVULATION, AS IT WOULD BE POINTLESS,” SAYS THE STUDY’S CO-AUTHOR MEGAN ARNOT. THE IDEA THAT WOMEN CEASE FERTILITY TO INVEST TIME IN GRANDCHILDREN IS KNOWN AS THE “GRANDMOTHER HYPOTHESIS”.
