Viagra or Cialis - Research Funding

2011-03-24T15:42:00.000-07:00

I came across a very useful tool for biomedical research called the International Aging Research Portfolio. They are a non-profit initiative for tracking biotechnology and social sciences projects related to aging.

I did a search using Viagra OR Cialis and got the following results:

Just Cialis got about $3 million in funding. So Viagra is still more popular in grant applications ;-)

Total Funding: $ 42,358,949

Number Of Funding: 133

Number Of Projects: 122

Another cool marketing idea to address the baby boomer generation!

2010-08-05T20:02:00.000-07:00

Most teenagers nowadays probably don't even know who or what Woody Woodpecker was. However, the generation which is about to retire spent the early years watching these cartoons.

So here is the money making idea: Woody Woodpecker condoms, sex toys and underwear for men!

This brand will rock! Just think about the benefits:

Brand recognition
Great mnemonic technique reminding of the importance of foreplay and safety before having intercourse with a fellow retiree on a cruise ship. Just think about Woody Woodpecker's head moving and recall that safety comes first
Childhood memories and associations with Woody Woodpecker may help treat erectile dysfunction and ignite life into the fading relationship

Clinical and marketing studies must start immediately. Who's gonna get the license for the brand first? ;-)

Match.Com for Retiring Boomers

2010-06-01T15:44:00.000-07:00

I found an interesting article via match.com by Laura Schaefer called "Boomers & Dating: the straight facts" :

If you’re a single baby boomer looking for love, it can be all too easy to feel doubtful about your prospects. Aren’t the pickins slim in this age group? And isn’t the man-to-woman ratio abysmal? As tempting as it can be to buy these common beliefs, an array of surveys and studies say that, on the contrary, the dating scene never looked better than it does now for boomers. Check out these surprising statistics, and you’ll see what we mean.

1. There really are a lot of fish in the sea. According to the Census Bureau, 29 percent of adults age 45-59 are now single, compared with only 19 percent in 1980.

2. And those fish are having fun! 70 percent of single boomers say they date regularly, and 45 percent of men and 38 percent of women say they’re having sex at least once a week.

3. A lot of you are online. People over age 50 make up Match.com’s fastest-growing segment of users, with a 300 percent increase since 2000

4. You’re not necessarily craving the sound of wedding bells. Only 14 percent of boomer women and 22 percent of boomer men said their most important reason for dating was to find someone to live with or marry.

5. The man-to-woman ratio really isn’t that bad. There are 92 men for every 100 women for those aged 55 through 64.

6. May/December relationships are on the rise. Madonna is hardly the only gal living it up with her younger man Jesus Luz; 34 percent of women ages 40-69 are “tadpoling” too.

7. Who said older men are old-fashioned? 21 percent of guys in their 40s and 50s say sex on a first date is acceptable. Only 2 percent of women this age agree.

8. Couplehood at this age ain’t just about companionship. When it comes to relationships, 84 percent of boomers rank physical intimacy as being important or very important.

9. Older women really are the best in bed. 82 percent of boomer gals say they’re confident sexually, and 62 percent say they have a good sense of what satisfies their desires—which is way better than how Gen X-ers (52 percent) and Gen Y-ers (38 percent) feel.

10. Think finding love at your age is hopeless? Hardly! 75 percent of women and 81 percent of men in their 50s experience a serious, exclusive relationship after a divorce. So if that’s what you’re looking for, get on out there and you may find The One sooner than you think!

Who needs retirement benefits to have great sex? ;-)

2010-05-01T02:47:00.000-07:00

One of my friends recently said that sex stops when you start getting your social security retirement benefits. And this was a guy talking....

A good resource for retirement planning is the government's Social Security Online website and you can see that the earliest you can start getting the benefits is 62 and full benefits kick in at 67.

Well, is this a joke?... With the recent advancements in biotechnology, it is possible to remain attractive and have healthy sex until some vital part of our body breaks terminally. There is no "retirement age" deadline for having great sex.

Sex in Retirement Launched

2010-04-20T17:53:00.000-07:00

Here we will discuss issues pertaining to sexuality in retirement. The aging population will live longer and healthier lives and fun should not stop after the retirement age.
Does not matter how old you are. With age comes experience and understanding of yourself and your partner. No one can deny that sex is so much more fun in the sixties than in the teens. We are never too old to have fun.
As one man said, "all cats are black in the dark". And menopause is nature's birth control!

Please post your comments, thoughts and experiences. We are all planning to live way into 100s (or according to Dr. Aubrey de Grey we do not have to die at all) and all of us can learn something new!
