I Guess We Can’t All Be Silvio Berlusconi

A Seoul court has set a man “sexual life expectancy” at 69 (a good number, if I do say so myself):

A court set men’s “sexual life expectancy” at 69 in a ruling Tuesday. The court asked an insurance company to pay 48 million won ($39,000) in compensation to a 47-year-old man who has been rendered impotent after a car accident in 2006.

It is the latest attempt to set a ceiling on sexual life span, because in other cases court rulings have varied.

Judge Chung Hyun-soo of the Seoul High Court said in a ruling, “The amount of compensation was based on the presumption that the victim could have sexual relations at least twice a week up to 60 and once a week up to 69.”

The court included the costs of buying erection-inducing pills such as Viagra, instrumental help, and other relevant medical treatments in the compensation package.

Public service announcement:

The plaintiff, Yoon, was hit by a truck while bickering with a friend on April 16, 2006. The accident left him with a severe spinal injury, causing significant sexual dysfunction.

So, children, don’t bicker with your friends. Lest you get hit by a truck. And lose your ability to get a woody.

I would love to be a fly on the wall at any an-ma that refuses entry to some grumpy adjossi because he is too old and sexually at least, dead.

(Rough Numbers)

Age leaving army 24 years old
Sex Life expectancy 69

36 years X 52 weeks a year x 2 times a week = 3744
9 years X 52 weeks a year x 1 times a week = 468

4212 total

48,000,000 won / 4212 at bats = 11,396 won per swing

Seems kind of a low figure to me.

Those are judges that apparently have never studied English or US property law. From nearly day one of property law classes, students are introduced to the theoretical “Fertile Octogenarian.”

And someone hasn’t read the story properly.

Your man in the story is 47 years old.

13 years*52 weeks a year*2 times a week = 1352
9 years*52 weeks a year*1 times a week = 468

1820 total

48,000,000 won / 1820 = 26,374 won per fuck.

Still low, but… well, correct.
