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.

Lunch with Neil / Dinner alone

Lunched with Neil, who I haven’t seen since Mardi Gras. It’s always fun, as we’ve known each other for years but rarely ever meet up, so there is always something new to chat about.

We first met when I was doing some guest-expert type stuff for BBC Three Counties, solving listeners computer problems on air. He was the call taker, who occasionally said things on the show, a bit like Ros in Frasier. Now he works for Wise Buddah so gets to meet lots of famous people and go to parties and concerts for free.

Am I jealous? Perhaps.

So, he popped into reception and we mooched off along Old Compton Street for soup and sandwiches in Compton Cafe. Lots of very distracting people to look at, which was just as well, as Neil’s lunch took an age to arrive, and when it did the waiter dropped half of it off the plate. He (waiter) picked it up in disgust and threw it in a bowl of soup, then wandered back to the counter to replace it.

We didn’t leave a tip, and in the end Neil paid, which was a good excuse to arrange a date next month to do it all over again so I can return the favour. This evening’s mean was somewhat less successful… for me, at least.

We had arranged to meet with the rest of Paul’s family for dinner, and so I was determined to leave the office on time to get to the White Horse (which for some reason you can buy as a tappestry) before they stopped taking orders.

Of course, it didn’t happen.

I had loads of things that needed boxing up scattered all over my desk, and as they are leaving the building first thing tomorrow morning it had to be done tonight. That made me late leaving, and it was half six by the time I walked out of the door.

I made Liverpool Street in good time, only to find a fat red stripe of delay notices running across the top of the indicator board, which kept me stuck there until 19h18, and kept me out of Chelmsford until eight. I texted my apologies and headed to Sainsbury’s to buy bits for dinner, then mooched in front of ten minutes of the Sound of Music (I needed a feelgood fix) while I calmed down.

Paul called as they left and I joined them for cake and tea at Helen and Mike’s. Excellent cake, and two cute cats, so well worth the trip.
