"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."

So says Clara Meadmore, Britain's oldest virgin. She is now 105 years old.

It's the teeth, I think. The Brits used to have bad teeth. Most still do, except expats.

It would be quite symbolic to know when you're about to go, and save it up for the most dramatic send-off possible...

John Kindley ayon kay ...

Yeah, but is she counting blow jobs and taking it in the keister? I've heard of women who indulge in these various forms of sodomy and yet still consider themselves "virgins"?

Well, it's not too late for her to get her game on and take the plunge, is it?

Do they really grow over if you don't use them?

Didn't Obama say the same thing about Free Market Economics?

Good for her. Sex is not the be-all and end-all of human existence.

She's only sayin that because I was born 3 generations too late. Plus she's English and talk about uptight but I don't want to go there. I mean at 105 that cooter has to be sealed tighter than Fort Knox.

I'm bettin she's a closet carpet muncher.

Well next to beer no but if the hops dry up the babes better be ready to accomodate otherwise there will be hell to pay.

I'm just sayin you know.

That may be true, but NO sex would be the end-all of human existence.

I'm just sayin'...

True, but it rates a sine qua non at least.

Jen Bradford ayon kay ...

There is something hilarious to me about a 105 year old woman referring to sex as a "hassle".

LoafingOaf ayon kay ...

But has she ever had an orgasm?

Whatever the case, more power to someone for living her life her own way.

Roberto ayon kay ...

"Do we believe her?"

Of course not.

She must be lying.

Duh.

Fr Martin Fox ayon kay ...

Burn her--heretic!

How dare she defy the orthodoxy of our age?

Neither are brownies but I'm glad I ate a couple before I died. They were tasty.

blake ayon kay ...

Like anything else in life, it could be that it was a pure expression of her true identity, or she could be really messed up.

Hindi-nagpakilala ayon kay ...

She looks pretty good for 105 but the photo needs a little help.

Ann Althouse ayon kay ...

That time you had the brownies, there was something else that you didn't eat. She was busy doing other things, she said. The question is: What were those other things?

Hindi-nagpakilala ayon kay ...

is she a shaker?
her chairs are sturdy
she's ripe

Hindi-nagpakilala ayon kay ...

i don't mind cleaning the veg-table bin
x-cept when it's wet
or stinky[plane]
the fruit...
I eat

Hindi-nagpakilala ayon kay ...

I've never been interested in sex either. I've been busy doing other things, like making love.

There is a difference people.

Hindi-nagpakilala ayon kay ...

Althouse writes "She was busy doing other things, she said. The question is: What were those other things?" That's one question.

Here's another: everything else she's done in her life had no hassle? I doubt if hassle played any part in her chosen path.

buttons are a hassle
zippers are quicker
sweatpants [w/non-tighty ankles]
shorts?

but...
if u put me in a zoo
I'd only fling poo
if u rapped on my glass

Hindi-nagpakilala ayon kay ...

forgot the dress
uniforms
togas...
umm
chloroform!

Marriage frequently begets the very same outcome.

I'd like to start a collection (maybe a blog) of the reasons centenarians give for their longevity. Cigars, looking on the bright side, a bottle of sherry a week. This is the first time I've seen celibacy.

Hey look, you qouted Titus and then he comes back. Cool.

Further research reveals that she was only fifty four years old at the time of her death.

Eh, sex is like everything else. Some people like bungee jumping. I don't. Given the many different kinds of sex that people like, or don't like, why is it so unusual that some people don't like it all?

There was a French writer who said that it's something a serious person would think of once a week. Can't remember who said it, and I'm not very serious.

Jen Bradford ayon kay ...

I guess if I had to be married to ever have sex, which is how she was raised, I'd consider it a hassle also. Plus there's the factor of not knowing what you're missing anyway. I'm also imagining the horror of the newlywed in On Chesil Beach and amplifying it - yeah, I can see how a person might decline.

Meade ayon kay ...

Obviously, she has had sex. How else could she live to be 105?

I think what she meant was she has never been interested in penetrative sex.

I have to admit I've never fully understood why anyone, unless they're trying to procreate, would be interested in being penetrated. Who needs all the hassles? Stick to former surgeon general Dr. Joycelyn Elders' advice and keep it hassle-free.
