Hum Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Plucky Clara Meadmore celebrates turning 105 today, proud to still be a virgin. The spinster decided as a child she would never wed or have sex - and insists she has never missed it. She said: "I've just never been interested in or fancied having sex. I imagine there is a lot of hassle involved and I have always been busy doing other things. "I made my mind up at 12 never to marry and I've not gone back on that." Clara, born in 1903, instead spent her youth in Egypt, Canada and New Zealand before coming home in her 20s to become a secretary. She added: "I grew up in an era where little girls were to be seen and not heard, so I had to stand up for myself and earn a living. "Some men don't like that and before long I was too old to marry anyway." But the OAP says she turned down several suitors. Advertisement - article continues below ? Click here to find out more! She added: "I've never had a boyfriend or been bothered about relationships. "When I was a girl you had sex only with your husband. "I've had lots of platonic friendships with men but never felt the need to go further." Clara now lives in a nursing home in Perranporth, Cornwall, and spends most of her time glued to Radio 4. Best pal Josie Harvey, 72, who visits daily, said: "You're as young as you feel. Clara is by no means 105 in many ways. "Maybe never having a man under her feet has kept her young all these years." Clara will mark her birthday a day late with a glass of wine on Saturday. And she pointed out: "I'm hardly likely to get drunk and do something silly at my age." I've never had sex. I imagine there's a lot of hassle involved.:unsure:: source Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/681162-virgin-at-105/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

sanctified Veteran Posted October 12, 2008 Veteran Share Posted October 12, 2008 She doesn't know what she's been missing! Nothing it seems since she doesnt need it in any way, psychological or otherwise. Different people, different priorities.

capr Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 sex is only as big a deal as you make it... if you spend your life running around doing other stuff than rating the guys and girl in your high school on how doable they are... you won't make it like this lady did...

Scirwode Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 Yeah, I agree. Congratulations to her. I agree as well. If that is how she feels, who are we to question her? Sometimes, not having sex doesn't you're inferior to anyone, you've just made a different choice compared to others.

LOC Veteran Posted October 12, 2008 Veteran Share Posted October 12, 2008 its her loss:)It seems some women are not born as mothers. Just because she's never had sex, doesn't mean she hasn't been a mother. She could have adopted a child you know. :) I bet she is dog ugly. She's 105, I don't care how she looks. I hope I can live as long as her. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/681162-virgin-at-105/#findComment-589954546 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hum Posted October 12, 2008 Author Share Posted October 12, 2008 At 105 it's understandable how she looks -- but she probably once was attractive to men ;) : Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/681162-virgin-at-105/#findComment-589954886 Share on other sites More sharing options...
