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.

Windy weather

The weather today was very exciting. So windy. Lots of flooding, which is probably more distressing than exciting, but the kind of day cats love. Jess goes mad when it’s blowy like this.

I’ve been trying to sort out train tickets to go to Manchester in two weeks and a popup on the Virgin Trains web site warns passengers not to expect to travel beyond Preston until tomorrow at the earliest because of the weather.

LBC called just after lunch to see if I could do a piece on people who play too many computer games and get repetitive strain injury from their joysticks so I said I’d pop in on the way home and do it in the studio instead of on the phone. I walked from the office and all the way up Grays Inn Road the wind was pushing me forwards. It was so strong it flung my bag out in front of me and I think I made the distance in half the time I usually do.

I waited for Chris the Midnight Weatherman to be ready to leave and we walked back to Farringdon together down streets that were unfamiliar and had the feint smell of sweage. We leant into the smelly wind as we walked and it was strong enough to hold us up.

I had a vision of it suddenly dropping and the two of us falling on our faces on the pavement.

The Manchester tickets are proving very tricky to sort out. I’m doing it through the Virgin site, which is really only a front end for TheTrainLine.com. It’s painfully slow and only shows a very small selection of trains at a time, some of which you can’t even get on, which wastes download time.

All of the 14-days in advance tickets have gone already, even though it’s still fifteen days until I go. Same for the seven-day tickets, so it looks like I’m going to have to pretend I’m booking more or less on the day and pay through the nose.
