Emma Beddington has been intrigued by a recent report that men get more disgusted as they age.

The theory is that as physical vulnerability increases with age, it makes survival sense for men to become warier of potential contaminants.

For women, disgust stays stable in their fertile years (perhaps an evolutionary safeguard for potential pregnancies) and high post-menopause too, as they become more susceptible to disease.
