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.

Strange stats

There is a lot of policing going on in Chelmsford tonight. Uniformed officers watching everyone get off the trains and standing by the ticket barriers at the station. Sirens everywhere as I walked to the car park and drove to the gym. Then, on the way home, a very discrete police car almost smashed into the side of me on the Army and Navy. It went straight through the red traffic lights. No sirens. No flashing lights. I couldn’t see it was a police car, of course, so I was expecting it to stop - all I could see was its headlights, until I slammed on the brakes, it zoomed past my front bumper and I could see the markings on the side.

I didn’t have the wherewithall to take its number plate.

Today flew by. It started far later than I had intended. I woke up at 6.25, which I seem to remember pleased me for the few brief seconds I was aware of it. The alarm was set for 6.30 so I thought getting up would be easy. Of course, I went straight back to sleep.

And the alarm didn’t go off.

My fault - I set the time but didn’t switch it on. Oh, how I long to have my own alarm clock back.

As it happens, the trains ran to within five minutes of the timetable so I was only ten minutes late into the office, so it didn’t really matter. I wasn’t the last, either, which was double-good.

I downloaded my email and found the stats for accesses to this site for the month of March. In general, the results are good, but I’m still a little concerned by the phrases people are using to find the site through search engines. The top five this time around stand at:

  • benjy’s uk
  • tornadoes that have occured in the year
  • gabby roslin
  • fungle disease
  • gym attendence
  • kylie minogue ironing


There is a thread running on the Media UK web site at the moment in which the participants are discussing the most inappropriate music played following the announcement of the Queen Mother’s death. Currently in the lead is Queen - Another One Bites the Dust, played on an unnamed station in Scotland. Not only an inappropriate song but also perhaps an inappropriate artist. Rather like when Dream 107 (nee Chelmer FM) played the intro to Home I’m Old Before I Die by Robbie Williams on the morning Princess Margaret died.

Plans for this week’s show are going well. If it all comes off we should be talking about the family that will be living in the shop windows of Harrods for a week and be interviewing Tony Hart, my ultimate childhood hero.
