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.

Week’s end

Yesterday was a fairly good radio day. A nice light-hearted, well structured piece in the breakfast show and a fun programme in the evening. It was the first show Gordon and I had done together in three weeks, what with him being away in Japan for a fortnight and me being in Germany for six days. The two hours flew by, as they always do, and it seemed to be over barely before it had begun.

Vaguely amusing was Iain, who had come in to do the news slot for us. We asked if he’d heard about Keo. He said he was trying to get one in for review but the manufacturers were having trouble getting him the right software so it was delayed.

Except, of course, Keo is a hair-brained French idea for a satellite. It is going to orbit the planet for 50,000 years (they reckon), carrying with it whatever any of us chooses to load onto it. Then, in 50,000 years it is supposed to gllide back down to earth and delivery its contents to the planet’s population. As it descends, the atmosphere will burn away the outer coating of its body to reveal a beautiful spherical map of our planet.

That’s assuming, of course, it doesn’t degrade during its 50,000 years in space, or crash into anything, or run out of power. Can’t say I’m entirely convinced it’s going to work. Not least because it’s completely free to put your own contribution into it, rather scuppering any hope it might pay for itself.

Today - far more relaxed, although I got loads done. Finished off one group test, started editing another, and mooched across to the other side of Soho for lunch with the team. We ended up on Gaby’s off Leicester Square, where they do London’s best falafel and chips, complete with hyper-garlic humous.

The office was a very unpleasant and smelly place after that.
