Note that one of the sources of commerical resveratrol is hu zhang, a

chinese herb that moves bloods and clears damp-heat, lending further

laboratory support to the idea that addressing these factors is the

key to longevity. While certain tonic herbs and their key components,

such as huang qi and ren shen, have been shown to affect factors like

short term immunity and endurance, no tonic herb has ever been shown

to increase lifespan in a lab animal.

A most interesting quote from this article:

 

" The science of the field is still in flux, as many central details

are unclear. The main theory developed by Dr. Guarente and others is

that sirtuins sense the level of energy expenditure in living cells

and switch the body’s resources from reproduction to tissue

maintenance when food is low.

 

This is an ancient strategy, Dr. Guarente believes, intended to let

an organism live through famines and postpone breeding until good

times return. The switch to tissue maintenance involves specific

action that would stave off the major degenerative diseases of aging

like cancer, diabetes, heart disease and degeneration of brain cells. "

 

Note that what is being talked about here is reproduction not sexual

activity. I suspect the major impact historically would have been on

women in this case. Most evidence I have seen on male sexual activity

suggests that in the absence of STDs, the effect on health of regular

sex is wholly beneficial. In addition, just because conception might

have been inhibited by high levels of sirtuins does not mean people

weren't having sex, it just means they were experiencing the most

taxing effect thereof, which is the bearing and raising of offspring,

particularly the need to share scarce food resources in times of famine.
