What is aging?
Aging, from a certain age onwards, is a decline in physical and mental functions.
It partially depends on outside impact (accidents and illnesses caused by external pathogens), and is partially self-regulated (the human body withdraws itself from life).
This article deals only with aging as a result of negative self-regulation.
Negative self-regulation is heavily mediated by the immune system of the human body.
The immune system takes its clues for negative self-regulation from the neurological system, which signals to the immune system, via multiple pathways, that time is approaching (for the benefit of the species) to let the next generation take over.
The genetic make-up of human nature may determine that it is in the interest of the species that I, as a human male, vacate my social positions, and the surface of this planet, rather sooner than later.
But this is not my individual interest. As long as I can have fun, I want to be around.
Any serious life extension has to take this into consideration: if you want to live longer, you have to intercept the negative self-regulation of the immune system.
And the healthiest way (free of side effects) is to interfere with the negative signaling of the neurological system.
And how do you control the neurological system?
One powerful way to do this is via the psychological system.
This is why a positive attitude towards life has such a great positive impact on a person's immune system, and his or her health.

It is the psychological-sexual system of human physiology that has the greatest power over how we feel.
Our greatest capacity to feel well, and positive, is when our minds are engulfed in sexual desire, and after that, during the waves of orgasms.
Because these positive situations recharge our immune system and support general well-being like little else, our health benefits greatly as long as we have fulfilling sex. Reduced stress, better cardiovascular function, improved mood, and a stronger sense of vitality are among the potential benefits.
So, what practical conclusions can we draw from this if our aim is to slow down aging?
We have to ensure that our sex lives are as optimal as they can be.
For this reason, I am against all social orders that have a negative impact on my personal sex life. Such social orders deprive me of better health and bring me closer to death.
