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 not very often that Flash animations actually make me laugh out loud, but this one did. Best experienced with speakers turned up loud.

The weather has been busy all day today. I woke up to bright sun and brilliant blue sky. It clouded over while I showered and then flipped back and forth between sunny and gloomy. We’ve had hail and snow, with two hours of sun in between, and a biting cold wind that almost blew me away when I came out of B&Q, where I’d gone to buy shelves.

I actually ended up coming home with more than I’d intended to buy as they had small wooden chests, and things of keeping all of your bathroom clutter in one place. I bought one of each, along with a four-shelf bookcase for the study and hurried home to build them.

Things started well. The bathroom bits didn’t need any screwdrivers and everything clipped together easily. The storage chest was fairly easy, too, although it took a while to build because there were so many screws. The bookcase was a demon, though, and I ripped through the skin on the palm of my hand with the screwdriver. It’s now very sore.

I put on the washing up gloves to stop it happening again but even with them on I couldn’t turn some of the screws all the way into the wood, and three of them stick out by a good half centimetre. The whole thing wobbles from side to side.

One good side effect of all this manly DIY is that it means I’ve finally moved my ageing bike out of the study, where it’s been sitting for years. I put it in the back of the car and took it around to mum’s, using the bedding I’d borrowed for dad last weekend as my excuse for taking around more clutter for the garage.

They’ve had the decorators in and the lounge is now a warm teracotta rather than the magnolia it has been for the last five years. It’s very different, but nice, and it goes well with the furniture. Unfortunately it doesn’t match many of the pictures they had up on the walls, though, so a certain amount of rearranging is going on, but it’ll sort itself over time.

Andrew read through the letter from the administrators of the company that was publishing my book and he’s pretty sure that I shouldn’t hold out too much hope for getting my money. Hmmm. Still, I wrote them a letter on mum’s PC, which I’ll send off on Monday, pointing out that what they actually owe me is far more than they seem to think.

Left at seven after showing them the pictures from last weekend to meet up with Trevor, Jon and Paul for pizza and Bridget Jones on DVD.
