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. SOURCE: American Journal of Medicine, July 2008.

An empty flat

So, my suspicions were correct: I don’t have a tenant at all.

I rang the agent this morning and asked her how things were going. She explained that she had re-advertised but that she wasn’t too hopeful. I explained that I didn’t even know the original tenants hadn’t moved in, so had gone ahead and registered them. She explained that she had sent an email. I explained that it hadn’t arrived, and that emails don’t just go missing - especially not as I’d already had a mail from her a couple of weeks ago, so she’s not getting filtered out by my spam trap.

Ho-hum.

So what now? Well, I’ll stick with her for another couple of weeks and see how things go with this new advert. She wants me to let it unfurnished, but I’m reluctant to do that. Although I could take my bed, table and chairs to bits so they could be stored easily enough, I would have to get rid of the settee and don’t know what I would do with the fridge, freezer and washing machine, so I’m reluctant to go down that path.

Fortunately a very nice dinner with Emilie, Kathryn and Mark took my mind off it all this evening. We started in the Alphabet Bar (I don’t think we ever start anywhere else) where Mark showed us the spider bites on his hands. How he managed to get them in a posh air-conditioned fourth-floor apartment in the middle of Sydney, I don’t know, but they were apparently from a white tail, which is apparently worse than a red back, which is apparently bad indeed.

We ate Thai at some place I’d never been to before despite the fact it is just off one side of Carnaby Street, and then made plans over coffee in Amalfi, which for years and years and years while Lorraine was still alive was the de facto venue for PCW’s Christmas lunch. I’d not been in there since.

So, we settled on a weekend trip down to Southend to play bingo, followed by a Carry On evening around at ours.

White trash a go-go.
