Viagra User Is 99

SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Singapore's oldest user of Viagra is 99.

That shows the spirit is willing, even if the flesh might be weak, in the strait-laced city state of four million, where people are reputed to have less sex each year than any other place in the world and where birth rates have dropped alarmingly.

"I hope I can still go for treatment when I am 99," said Li Man Kay, a consultant urologist who surveyed the man, among 1,520 patients who used the drug in Singapore, for a study published in the International Journal of Urology.

He said the man was a very fit retiree who was on his second marriage, to a woman in her sixties, but gave no further details.

"There will be a lot more older people in the years to come," Li told reporters Wednesday at a function marking five years for Viagra in Singapore, where more than 1.5 million prescriptions for the drug have been filled since 1999.

"So it is crucial for people who are most likely to get erectile dysfunction to be healthy and productive."

Singaporeans make love an average of 96 times a year, an annual sex survey by condom maker Durex showed last September, the second time in a row that the island ranked last worldwide.

The city state forecasts that the number of people aged more than 65 will grow nearly four-fold to 800,000 by 2030, with no corresponding growth seen in the working-age population to support them.

"The idea of older people being sexual has been a difficult one for us to come to terms with," said Rosie King, an Australian sex therapist on the editorial board of the Journal of Sexual and Reproductive Medicine.

"In Hollywood movies you don't see old age-pensioners locked in passionate embrace."

She called for more rigorous studies of Viagra, made by Pfizer, and its rival products -- Levitra, promoted as fast-acting, from GlaxoSmithKline and Bayer, and Cialis, the effects of which can last up to 36 hours, sold by Eli Lilly and Icos.

Hmmmmm...I got to thinking about this...since I'm always using this "national average" ploy with my wife to shame her into relations.....but anyway...take 360 days in a year and subtract approx. 48 days from that (these would be days when relations might be considered less than optimal), equals 312. Take the 312 and divide by the 96 (the lowest average times/year the lowest in the world copulate), and you are left with sexual realtions every 3.25 days.

So.....if thats the lowest rate, I think it would therefore be reasonable to suggest every 2 days to my wife which means I am past due!

Cialis lasts up to 36 hours, eh? Is that an uninterrupted effect or is it more "available on demand?" If it's uninterrupted, that would be a bit inconvenient, except maybe when you're on vacation.

It may be interesting to some of you that research has shown that a Viagra tablet dropped into a vase of flowers will actually make them stay upright and last longer.....really; no joke!!........p

never thought of using it for that (if of course I even had any). My very resourceful wife uses the left over coffee in the morning to water her Boston Ferns. Now if only coffee worked for males like it works for those ferns!
