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.

I was right - it did feel good to sleep in a bed last night. The hard matteress felt so wonderfully soft after a roll mat on the floor of a tent. It was wonderful to be able top pull a duvet up around my neck rather than lay with the open end of a sleeping bag flapping around me like the overgrown gill of a suffocating fish.

So, the day started with unpacking and putting things either back on shelves or into the wash, depending on whether or not they were clothes. Oh, and catching up on the programmes missed and videod last week. The first episode of series three of Six Feet Under certainly is confusing. I’m still not sure whether what we watched was ‘reality’ or the dreams of a anaesthetised man. Still, it was entertaining enough, at the end of which I drove across to mum’s to fiddle with her network again and eat lunch on the patio.

Cat was hiding in the bushes trying to keep herself cool. I don’t know how successful she was, but we did pretty well with the network, setting up shared printers, folders and broadband access, almost entirely without wires.

I’m quite tempted to go wireless at home, but then if I have broadband access in the lounge as well as the study I’m going to spend all my time on the settee browsing the net when I should be doing something more productive. Like writing the book.

I could have stayed for dinner, I suppose, as we didn’t get finished until early evening. By that time, though, the list of jobs I had to do back home was rapidly looking like it was going to take longer than what part of the day remained, so I said my goodbyes and headed home.

I looks like it’s going to be a late night, then, getting things done. Going away for a week is great. Catching up when you get back… isn’t.
