What we do know, from this new paper, is that if you are a 30-year-old male, you can be expected to have sex for 35 more years. The authors - Dr. Stacy Tessler Lindau and researcher Natalia Gavrilova of the University of Chicago - call this measure your "sexually active life expectancy," or SALE. A 30-year-old woman has a SALE of just 31 more years. (The study also finds that men and women who stay healthy and in good shape gain extra years of sexually active life in older age, compared with their peers in poorer health...
...shortcoming in the paper that the journal itself notes: in a British Medical Journal editorial accompanying the paper, Texas A&M University professor Patricia Goodson says that while Lindau and Gavrilova's new SALE measure might someday prove a useful tool for gauging an aging population's medical and public-health needs as they relate to sex, it "sheds no light on the intriguing - and still poorly understood - question of why, even though they enjoy fewer years of sexually active life, many women do not perceive this as a 'problem.'

...Yershov's sentiments - and those of nearly everyone else TIME spoke to in Pikalyovo - are playing out at checkout counters in shops all over town. "People are only buying the cheapest brands.

Leaning down into a nearly empty cooler to grab a kielbasa, she says, "Without the factories, Pikalyovo is nothing...
...Others are taking note. Last week, Gavrilova's cousin called from the Siberian city of Irkutsk to ask if Pikalyovo was "leading a civil war" and to say that the situation was similar in her city, where workers were holding a hunger strike over unpaid wages at the local pulp mill, also owned by Basic Element. This time it took no prodding from Putin for Deripaska to announce plans to pay out some $2.8 million in back wages to about 2,000 workers. (See pictures of Russia celebrating Victory...
...daughter Lena Gavrilova, 42, is a teacher, and she believes it is important to understand the past. She only recently discovered what happened to her paternal grandfather, she says. He was denounced as a kulak in 1930 and was sent to Solovetski Island in the far north. "He died there. We don't even know where his grave is." She continues, "This is our history, and we need to respect it. We need to learn from it. But our politicians have forgotten that. I don't know for sure what's going on in Chechnya, the politics of it. When...
