Title: Celibacy the key to a long life (says 105 year old virgin)

Celibacy the key to a long life (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/cornwall/7663662.stm)

A woman who is celebrating her 105th birthday is attributing her long life to remaining celibate.

Clara Meadmore, a resident at Perran Bay nursing home in Truro, Cornwall, only moved in to care in January.

The retired secretary said sex meant marriage when she was young and she never wanted to marry.

"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."

Miss Meadmore was born in Glasgow in 1903, two years after Queen Victoria died, and she remembers the Titanic sinking and the outbreak of WWI.

Her family travelled and she lived in Canada and New Zealand before moving back to Britain in her 20s where she worked as a housekeeper and secretary.

After serving in the army in Egypt during WWII, she lived between London and New Zealand before retiring to Cornwall 40 years ago.

She will celebrate her 105th birthday on Saturday by reading a card from the Queen and having a 'drop' of wine, she said.

Why's she just now releasing her secret!  I'm doomed already!


Nah, I'd rather die at 70 and not be celibate than die at 105 a virgin.

I think what we have here is confusion between causation and correlation.  personally, I think she has lived to a ripe old age because she never got married. :uhsure: :-)

Research shows that the healthiest people are single women and married men in that order.  :-)

I finally get the meaning of that line in that old song, "Live fast, love hard, die young and leave a beautiful memory".

A lack of sex does not make you live any longer, it just seems that way.   :-)

Step-Granny is 100 yrs 3 mnonths, don't think sex or marrage (or lack thereof) can be considered casual for long life.

Those were the first words I thought after reading the subject. It would be interesting though to see a pic of her when she was younger.

I really should start reading the entire thread before posting, damn.

I forgot to mention one of my fav bumperstickers of all time.

Saw this years ago: "All you virgins...thanks for nothing!"

If not for the picture I'd say she hadn't went 105 year without sex that it only SEEMED that way.
