Sex a 'hassle,' says 105-year-old virgin

[MissStacey 1]

LONDON (AFP) - A woman who celebrated her 105th birthday this week said the secret to long life was celibacy, adding that she imagined sex was a "lot of hassle."

Clara Meadmore, who marked her birthday with a drop of wine at the Perran Bay nursing home in Cornwall, southwest England, also received a card from Queen Elizabeth II.

"People have asked me whether I am a homosexual and the answer is no," Meadmore said.

"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."

Born in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1903, Meadmore lived in Canada and New Zealand as a child before returning to Britain in her 20s to work as a secretary and housekeeper.

She served with the army in Egypt during World War II, and subsequently lived in London and New Zealand before retiring 40 years ago in Cornwall.

One thing many people overlook is the sexual orientation (as genetic as homosexuality and heterosexuality) called "asexual". People who have no inclination for sex toward anyone. This person has just lived a long time not experiencing one of the best things this planet has to offer. Sux4them.

I have a feeling that things would be a lot clearer with a pic of her.

Well, if she's never had it or never felt the need to have it even with herself, then she doesn't know what she's missing out on.

Ohhhhh you're going to H E double hockey mom sticks for that one.

Let's not forget, some people have different definitions of sex (like Bill Clinton).

She may well mean that she never had intercourse, but she may have experienced some of the pleasures of sex by herself.

At some point she must have been curious about the little man in the boat.

Recent survey says 90% of all men masturbate.

The other 10% of the survey didn't have hands.

Where's my rim-shot....WHERE'S MY RIM SHOT?
