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.

It’s a strange week, this week. I have to be in Milan for a meeting on Thursday and Friday so for the first time since going on holiday back in September I will be missing the show on Thursday, and Gordon will be presenting on his own. It means I haven’t had to find any guests, which has given me considerably more time to think about other things, and I’ve been doing some forward planning, sketching out ideas for special ‘themed’ shows in the next couple of months.

Next week is an obvious one: the Xbox. It will be launching on the day of the show and is probably as important as the launch of Windows XP was last autumn, so we’re getting together a range of people from the development team, as well as games programmers and people who have played with it.

Quite separate from that, though, I’m also very up to date with everything in the office, which is good, as I don’t think I’m going to be in any fit state to take any work to Milan with me. I have to be up at three on Thursday morning. It’s not going to be at all easy. I find half six bad enough.

In fact, I often don’t find it until gone seven, and by then it’s too late.

Continuing on from yesterday’s concerns about worrying happenings in America, General Tommy Franks, the guy directing the American war in Afghanistan is quoted in the NYPost today:

First, let me say that our thoughts and prayers go out to the families and the friends of the service members who have lost their lives in our ongoing operations in Vietnam.
