Your comment got me to wondering if, should I ever reach that venerable age, I should plan on doing nothing but talking the rest of my life.

Lo and behold:
"There's really no physiologic or anatomic reason why a healthy man who takes good care of himself, and who doesn't have attendant medical problems, shouldn't be able to have a very fulfilling and active sexual life," says Dr. David Kaufman, Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons. "29% of men and 25% of women over the age of 80 are still sexually active" according to Dr. Patricia Bloom of Mount Sinai-New York University Medical Center. Dr. Kaufman continues, "The more you use your erection, the better it will become. That has a lot to do with the oxygenation of the smooth muscle that is really the basis of an erection. The benefit is, the more sex you have, and the better blood flow that results from this sex, the better quality your erection's going to be.

So, guys, get with it!!!
