In a new book “Sex at Dawn: The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality.” author Christopher Ryan looks at the eternal question: Why do men, in particular middle-aged men, have affairs? Check out the answer in this excerpt from the book below.

One factor we think deserves more attention is the role of testosterone (T) in middle-aged men’s eroticism. In their twenties, men’s T levels begin a long decline, often experienced as diminished passion and appetite for life. Suppressed T levels are associated with depression, heart attacks, dementia, and overall mortality rates from 88 to 250 percent higher. One of the few things that can reliably and immediately revive a man’s sagging testosterone is exposure to a new woman.

Ella Maxine, a small-business owner from Park Slope, Brooklyn, almost choked on her smokes when she had to plunk down $15 for a pack of American Spirits cigarettes at Smiler’s Deli on Fifth Avenue near 46th Street.  Read more...
