Impotence can boost your sex life
16 April 2004
Impotence can be good for your sex life. That is the finding Canterbury University gender studies researcher Tiina Vares presented at the national conference of the New Zealand Association of Gerontology this week.
Ms Vares interviewed men up to their early 70s with erectile difficulties. Sexual experiences were not only possible, they were better, they told her.
Some rejected the quick-fix Viagra. "I suppose it's like a good wine, it improves with age. It's a pity that we've taken 40-odd years or something like that to say, `Hey, it doesn't need to be rushed'," one 66-year-old said.
With researchers Annie Potts and Victoria Grace and psychologist Nicola Gavey from the Auckland University, Ms Vares made a three-year study, funded by the Health Research Council, into "socio-cultural implications" of Viagra and similar drugs. She said recent focus on erectile difficulties and the "Viagra era", coupled with a new cultural imperative to have a long sex life, had countered stereotypes of sex flagging in later years.
