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.

Financial irregularities

All of my financial details - my credit card numbers, back account numbers and sort codes, passport and driving licence numbers - and all the questions necessary to use them, including my name, address, and the answer to the ubiquitous ‘mothers maiden name’ question and in an easily identified envelope in a post box that is not emptied on Sundays somewhere in the Chelmsford area. They’ll stay there until first collection Monday, unless someone reverses into it or it blows down in the wind again like it did last time we had a storm.

You see, I fell for the scare stories about having all your cards registered so if you lose them, or your wallet is stolen, you just ring one number and they’re all cancelled right away, and it only struck me how stupid the whole thing was when I was filling out the registration papers. Anyone who sees the envelope will know exactly what’s inside, so I’m putting my faith, and my financial wellbeing in the hands of the postman - and countless other postmen and women - not to peep inside and go wild in the (vitrual) aisles online.

That was the pinnacle of a day of finances. Registered myself for an online tax return (far more involved than last year), closed another bank account, took great delight in cutting up my Barclaycard now I’ve switched to a more attractive brand of credit. Sellotaped the little bits together so there wouldn’t be any nasty sharp edges and dropped them into an envelope addressed to Northampton.

Took panettone around to mum’s for tea. While there discovered that Christmas is only a week and a half away.

Must buy cards.
