Good find, Orange. I also recall that sexual intimacy lengthens telomeres, especially for women. Read about it here. This may be significant given that E4 carriers have natural shortened telomeres suggesting premature aging.

I just checked my SNP's:

rs10936599(C;C)
longer telomeres, longer life?

You know what they say about guys with long telomeres right?

Well.... they're long!!!
