Secret to long life is no sex, says virgin, age 105
[Oct 10 2008 By John Ferguson; Scottish Daily Record]
A WOMAN aged 105 yesterday revealed the secret to her long life – no sex.
Scot Clara Meadmore, who has just celebrated her 105th birthday, is proud to have remained a virgin all her life.
And she revealed: “People have asked me whether I am a homosexual and the answer is no. I have just never been interested in sex.
“I imagine there is a lot of hassle involved and I have always been busy doing other things.”
She said platonic relationships were important to her and she loved the company of friends and her cats.
Glasgow-born Clara is now residing in a care home in Cornwall – but lived on her own until January this year.
Clara mowed her own lawn until the age of 97, still has her own hair and teeth, and has only been into hospital once, for a cataract operation.
Clara now lives in the Perran Bay nursing home in Perranporth and staff say she’s much loved for her chatty nature, remarkable memories and sharp wit.Which gets me thinking: If you could be offered not only longevity – but eternal life – on the premise that it would be lived in celibacy – would you take up the offer?
You can still love and be loved – just no sexual congress.
Well?up to being forty I would have gladly exchanged sex for eternal life
in fact i would have exchanged it for 50p
but what they say about it getting better as you get older is true
so now I would exchange it for a poundFascinatingly, eunuchs and castrati — boys castrated before puberty to preserve their high singing voices — have been observed to be substantially taller than their peers. A survey of eunuchs carried out in the Sixties shows that they lived longer.
Biologists have explained this phenomenon in terms of resources — there is a trade-off between reproduction, growth and ageing, and removing the organs of reproduction diverts more resources into physical growth and longevity. Leroi suggests, instead, that the gonads are the source of molecular signals for growth and ageing. “The gonads are the source of the death signal,” says Leroi. “This upsets this vague idea of resource allocation, but we have yet to find out exactly which genes are producing which signals.”
Freud would have a field day on this one.
I read this today Esme, bless the old coffin dodger, good on her :lol:
I could have gone without sex years ago, but not now, no. Gagging for it now that im forced to go without! :evil:
Here are some interesting takes on the subject..sorta..
“What is peculiar to modern societies is not that they consigned sex to a shadow existence, but that they dedicated themselves to speaking of it ad infinitum, while exploiting it as the secret.”
-Michel Foucault“I like my sex the way I play basketball, one on one with as little dribbling as possible.”
-Leslie Nielsen“I wouldn’t recommend sex, drugs or insanity for everyone, but they’ve always worked for me.”
-Hunter S. Thompson“Humans are the only animal who can have sex over the phone.”
-Dave Letterman“Whoever called it necking was a poor judge of anatomy.”
-Groucho Marx“Men get laid, but women get screwed.”
-Quentin CrispSnaps shut chastity belt and throws key down a well. :roll:
Is self abuse included in that ? (my mate asked me to ask that i dont want to know. Really i dont)

Well?Unbelievable, a Scottish virgin at the age of a hundred and five! Living in cornwall, do you think she secretly gets up at 5am and goes surfing? :lol:
I’d rather a life of sex.. (Not just sex by the way), it’s great to do other things, like get up for a quick cigarette.
Wouldn’t it be a bit of a b ummer to opt for a life of celibacy in order to live a longer life, but then die halfway through.
She still had her own teeth, mowed the lawn until the ripe old age of Ninety Seven, only attended hospital once.. Jeez, we’re either dealing with SuperGran here, or the female version of Jesus Christ!!
