Older men are better lovers and have fewer impotence problems than their younger counterparts, with the "male menopause" a myth pedaled by drug companies to sell their products, according to a British psychologist.

Dr. Lorraine Boule, from Sheffield University in northern England, told the British Psychological Society conference that men became more skilled sexually as they get older, British newspapers reported on Saturday.

"Older men sustain erections for longer, are longer coming to orgasm, and satisfy women better. Sexual activity does diminish with age, but the quality should get better," she was quoted as saying by the Daily Mail.

Boule's conclusions were based on a survey of 185 married professional men aged 30 to 60. While 22 percent of men under 46 suffered erectile problems, only 16 percent of those over 46 did.

She dismissed as nonsense the idea that men needed testosterone as a hormone replacement therapy in the same way that some women take estrogen to ease the effects of menopause.

The male menopause was a myth spread by drug firms to boost the multimillion dollar market for impotence treatments, she said.

"Life should really begin at 40 for those who have the right mindset," the Times quoted her as saying.

Do you prefer to be picked up at the airport in a C or a Town Car? I'll let you choose!

Why, a Town Car, of course, I being a gentleman of taste. (I also being someone who once drove limousines to help fill out my income when I was doing radio part-time, and having driven both I can tell you that, compared to a Lincoln, a Cadillac is nothing but a bucket of bolts and Band-Aids in comparison.)

I do the bidding of my sire, NY ... he wants a Lincoln, he gets a Lincoln ... I will "hold my nose" and endure ... the pain will only be temporary. &;-)

[2Trievers]

Your wish is my command, sire. However sire, you will allow me to choose the hotel and eatery, I trust?

[Northern Yankee]

Aaahhhh.... the pain we must endure.

In the immortal words of King Richard, the Lion Hearted:

"What the ell is that?..."

Richard Coeur de Lion ...

"Personne me dira la cause de mon chagrin Pourquoi ils m'ont fait un prisonnier ici. Pourquoi avec dolour je fais maintenant mon moan; les Amis j'ont eu beaucoup de mais l'aide a j'aucun. Shameful il est qu'ils partent me rançonner, languir ici deux hivers longs."

[BluesDuke]

One holds not the nose but in a Cadillac! (Yes, you may choose the eatery...)

[2Trievers]

*sigh*

[Fintan]

Ahem....

[BluesDuke]

Forgive me, but whenever I hear the slogan "Cadillac style," I can't help thinking of "promiscuous celibacy"...

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Yes, I agree. Older men are better, especially the ones near Valley Forge who have a cigar fetish.

[2Trievers]

You are incorrigible Knave ... you are untamed and unpredictable ... You know what that does to me! &;-)

You also ... have Freepmail ...

[BluesDuke]

you are untamed and unpredictable ... You know what that does to me! &;-)

Hmmmmmm...let me guess...makes you want to step into the boudoir in the rear of a Lincoln stretch limousine?

This one's for you:

[2Trievers]

"makes you want to step into the boudoir in the rear of a Lincoln stretch limousine?"

LOL ... no actually makes me want you to promise that you'll wear catcher's mitts on both hands when I pick you up at Logan! Cute poster, BTW ... Thanks BD.

You'll not see any mitt on me except a full-sized, full-webbed pitcher's glove...

[Fintan]

Yes, I agree. Older men are better, especially the ones near Valley Forge who have a cigar fetish.

I should've known better.

You know darn well I'm hiney-over-tin-cups in love with you. But do you care? Of course not.

Ever get involved with a reprobate?

[2Trievers]

OK OK ... but I want one on each hand! Or I'll pick you up in the Porsche and you'll need knee surgery after you've been in the car for 5 minutes! &;-)

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

You are the best. That's why you have my heart forever.

[Fintan]

That's why you have my heart forever.

And I'll never break it.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

And I'll never break it

Which is wise, I pack heat.
