Wana live long ,practice celibacy:105-year-old virgin

Britain's oldest virgin celebrated her 105th birthday this week and said she believed she had made the right decision to remain celibate her whole life as she imagined sex was a "lot of hassle."

Clara Meadmore said she decided never to get married when she was just 12-years-old and said when she was younger women only had sex with their husbands.

"People have asked me whether I am a homosexual and the answer is no," Meadmore said, adding "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." Clara marked her birthday with a drop of wine at the Perran Bay nursing home in Cornwall, southwest England, and also received a card from Queen Elizabeth II. Born in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1903, Meadmore lived in Canada and New Zealand as a child before returning to Britain in her 20s to work as a secretary and housekeeper. She served with the army in Egypt during World War II, and subsequently lived in London and New Zealand before retiring 40 years ago in Cornwall.
