Britain’s Oldest Virgin is 105 Years Old: Sex is a “Hassle”

Posted by Alex in World Records on October 10, 2008 at 12:07 am


Clara Meadmore said that sex seemed a "hassle" and she’s glad that she has done without it for all of her 105 years!

Over the years many a centenarian has delivered their secret for a long life.

Not smoking, daily exercise, moderate drinking, being married (and sometimes not being married) have all had their champions.

But, at the ripe old age of 105, Clara Meadmore could trump the lot: a life of celibacy.

Miss Meadmore says she has always been too busy for relationships and thought of physical intimacy as a ‘hassle’.

    Of course she’s a virgin. I mean would you sleep with that?

    I suppose its more interesting that she lived so long than the fact that she is celibate. Nuns are supposed to be virgins, and I believe its easy enough to accomplish!

    Also, different people have different sex drives. There are people on earth who consider themselves ‘asexual’, their meaning being that they are not interested in sex at all and probably see it as a hassle as well.

    That must be really hard to stay celibate for so long. I think the temptation might have crossed her path at one time. God damn I would be horny as hell if I was her. Who says you need a relationship to have sex. Skip the hassell of a relationship and hook up at your local bar or Star Wars convention Clara. Or is that only me?

    She is only a victim to her limited thinking. Too anxious to leave her comfort-zone. She now 105, good for her and I wish her the best but if her parents had the same mindset she wound be alive!

    I find it refreshing to actually find a Virgin over the age of 17 years old these days. Let alone a 105 year old.

    Meh…. Nuns do it all the time.
    She’s just a control freak it seems. Maybe she had a bad experience that put her off from having sex or something, who knows.
    She’ll never know what she missed out on. Not just the physical act itself, but the intimacy, the feeling of someone holding you, touching you……
    Oh well… sucks for her. I’m sure she’s been happy living in her little virgin bubble.

    My great aunt was a very very old virging when she died.

    Even my mother, who loved her dearly, said it was a shame that she was being “returned unopened”.

    I didn’t want to laugh but really couldn’t help myself.

    There’s a good chance she was a lesbian that never wanted to come out.

    or asexual. Its rare, but some people are.

    Her quote is funny though “sex is a hasle”. how would she know? :P

    I actually have a theory that the older you become the harder and harder it is to lose your virginity. I imagine for this lady, that after being celibate for so long you just don’t give a crap, particularly after a certain age when your libido goes kaputz.

    I’d hit that.

    she might have had a problem with sexual desire, who knows?
    there is a disorder called ‘hypoactive sexual desire disorder’, but it has to cause distress for the person in order for it to be a treatable disorder… and it sounds like she never found it distressing?

    Sex is great! Sucks for her!

    I’m not too proud to show a gmilf a good time. Where’s she live?

    I kind of doubt that no sex is the reason she’s so old. Sex is supposed to be good for you.

    Good lord… Imagine how old she might’ve ended up if she’d had some sex!

    I’m over 30 and I am still a virgin too. I’m a Christian and only will engage sex after I marry a woman. Of course, no women want me due to my multiple disabilities. :(

    Okay then, what is the proper timeline for human sexual experience? At exactly what age must you give it up to whoever will take it in order to be NORMAL? And at what intervals, and to whom?

    If some are to be believed, you should bump uglies with anyone at age 14 and keep doing so every weekend until yer dead. Eh, don’t mind the boys. They’ll hump a knot in a tree if they can call that “sex”. Hee hee hee..

    what the hell? i don’t believe that sex affects her age. if she had bungee-jumped every weekend, she would have said that was why she’s so old.
    anyway, whose’s checked her claim?

    I know its hard to believe, and I know nothing of your situation, but people with multiple disabilities can be in sexual relationships. I’ve seen a few examples stories of women with disabled men, and vice versa. Granted, its a bit more rare.

    Also, did Jesus say anything about no sex until marriage? Or is that a church law? I thought all the no premarital sex stuff was old testament (thus, not ‘CHRISTian’).

    Although, it does seem Jesus has some things to say about divorce. here’s something interesting:
