Do you like old balls? Great news! Old men need to do you more to maintain erectionability.

There’s new advice for older men who want to preserve their sexual function: have sex, and have it often, researchers say.

In a study that followed nearly 1,000 older Finnish men for five years, researchers found that those who were regularly having sex at the start of the study were at lower risk of developing erectile dysfunction (ED) by the study’s end.

A number of factors contribute to ED development, many of which could also affect a man’s sexually activity — such as age, diabetes and heart disease. However, after taking account of those factors, sexual activity itself remained linked to ED risk, Koskimaki’s team found.

It may be a matter of “use it or lose it,” according to the researchers. Just as exercise boosts physical fitness, they note, regular sexual activity may help a man preserve his erectile function.

In related news, old people are disgusting and should be forced into indentured servitude. Oh, that’s not really related news. But still pretty appropriate, no? Like not my grandparents, they’re cool. But everyone else’s. It’s just so inconvenient. They walk all slowly and make stuff like AARP popular. Have you ever read that thing? It doesn’t even have pictures of boobs! It’s like, WHOA! What kind of magazine is this?!?!?!
