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.

Oxford

Up at the end of yesterday morning’s eight o’clock news with a view to leaving at ten. Paul went home to shower and do jobs, and arrived back with the car at five to eleven. In the meantime I’d loaded Fireworks, Dreamweaver and the text of the book onto my notebook and packed it all into a rucksack so I could work in the car there and back. Suddenly that 21st August deadline feels a little too close for comfort.

I could hardly see my screen as we set off, the sun was so bright, but by the time we’d reached Aylesbury it was raining, and when we stopped at a pub in Tiddsbury for lunch it was grey cloud.

Radcliffe Camera, OxfordIt cheered up a little by the time we had got ourselves lost within the confines of Oxford’s impressive ring road, which resembled a shrunken M25. It took about an hour to find the hotel, but once checked in (raised eyebrows and a wry smile as the ageing Dot asked ‘will you be sharing a bed?’) we got the park and ride into town and mooched around taking photos until the shops shut. Why we stopped then, I don’t know, but it seemed logical, so we bought tea in Burger King (Japanese men in the top floor toilets urinating into the handbasins) and took it out in search of a grassy knoll on which to drink. We found a grotty square by the bus station instead, and sat on the steps of some flats that made the whole place feel like Luton with universities.

We were wondering what to do for the evening, not knowing any pubs or clubs, and in the end bought tickets for Cats and Dogs at the Odeon and went to Cafe Uno to kill the two hours between then and it starting. It wasn’t bad - quite amusing, and preceeded by the Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings trailers, both of which are films I can’t wait to see. Quite whether Harry Potter will live up to the books, though, I don’t know. It will be difficult.

This morning, we woke up to rain, so I worked on the book while Paul showered. We headed out of the city in the direction of Blenheim Palace, and continued on past it when we saw it was
