NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - There's new advice for older men who want to preserve their sexual function: have sex, and have it often, researchers say.
In a study that followed nearly 1,000 older Finnish men for five years, researchers found that those who were regularly having sex at the start of the study were at lower risk of developing erectile dysfunction (Buy Viagra) by the study's end.
In fact, the more often the men had sex, the lower their Buy Generic Viagra risk.
The implication, say the researchers, is that men should be encouraged to stay sexually active into their golden years.
Dr. Juha Koskimaki and colleagues at the University of Tampere in Finland report the findings in the American Journal of Medicine. The study included 989 men who were between the ages of 55 and 75 at the outset.
Overall, those who said they had sex less than once per week were twice as likely to develop ED over the next five years as men who had sex at least once a week. Furthermore, compared with men who had sex three or more times per week, their Order Viagra risk was increased nearly four-fold.
A number of factors contribute to ED development, many of which could also affect a man's sexually activity -- such as age, diabetes and heart disease. However, after taking account of those factors, sexual activity itself remained linked to Cheap Viagra risk, Koskimaki's team found.
It may be a matter of "use it or lose it," according to the researchers. Just as exercise boosts physical fitness, they note, regular sexual activity may help a man preserve his erectile function.
buy viagra online occurs when there are problems with blood flow to the penis. Regular sexual activity, Koskimaki's team writes, may help maintain healthy blood vessel function in the erectile tissue.

It’s built on the edge of a gorge. Plenty of hills to climb.

That picture is at the Disneyland TGV and Eurostar station. It must be the only one of its kind on the network, and I love the way that Mickey’s smug winky face changes when he’s being electrocuted. It’s actually a warning about short-circuiting the lines if you let go of your helium-filled, metallic balloon.
Fortunately our [...]

We did win the quiz, so are all going to be heading home with new cameras. I don’t know why more people didn’t think of getting themselves a little Wikipedia assistance in a room swamped by wifi and filled with PDAs.
Breakfast was very difficult, but not nearly so difficult as getting out of bed. Staying [...]

Somehow we ended up in Hurricanes last night. It’s the on-site Disney nightclub, and is so bad it wraps right around and becomes good in a can’t believe we’re here sense. Or, more to the point, can’t believe we’re here at 03h30 when we have to be up in four hours.
We all had what we [...]

wine + pina colada + gin and tonic + wine + cosmopolitan + wine + a little bit of food + seven rides on an upside-downy roller coaster + wine = bleurgh!
A very cool night. They closed the Studios half of the park so we could have [...]

Overbranded. That’s the only way you can describe this place. After a heavy late night last night, I could have done without Goofy on the wake up call this morning.
‘Hey hey hey, sleep head. What are you still doing in bed? There’s a busy day ahead.’
Ugh.
Still, it got me out of bed.
There are little Mickey [...]
