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.

PC Pro Awards

2004_pcpro_group.jpg

Excuse me if I look a bit green this morning. Last night was the PC Pro Awards so my head is bleating gently. Add to that not much sleep and you can see why I don’t feel like doing much writing this morning.

So, I dug out the tux, bought a new pair of black shoes for the first time in about the last ten years and tarted up with the rest for a posh drive to the Park Land Hotel - the same place we had our awards last year. And will again next month.

It’s a very nice place - kind of like the dining room on the Titanic, at the bottom of a wide twisting staircase. Once inside there must have been about 500 seats set out around tables, but even then there was a mix-up and I ended up being turfed off my table when the paying guests had brought along one person too many.

In all honesty, though, it turned out to be for the best. I was relegated to the back of the room, where I ended up sitting with Gordon and Mark and, in spite of not having a good view of the stage, had a great time. Gordon brought along his book, which by yesterday morning had reached number 38 in the Amazon top sellers list, putting him ahead of Delia Smith and Jamie Oliver. Very impressive. The Amazon review I wrote still hasn’t shown up, though - in spite of posting it well over a week ago. Do they really vet them all?

Not that I’m jealous or anything.

I bumped into so many people I’ve not seen since leaving PCW it was like a reunion, and there were even more who I spotted going up on stage to collect their awards who I’d wanted to catch up with, but didn’t manage because there were just so many of them there. Lots of people asking me what I ‘really think’ about PCW since leaving it, too, which was strange. I never did work out what they were really getting at.

Everyone seemed remarkably well behaved, in spite of the liberally-flowing alcohol and the heat in there. I think it must have been the candles, but it was absolutely baking by the end of dinner.

But then if you will go smoking them…
