    Man aged 107 forsakes sex for longevity
    Sun Feb 25, 1:03 AM ET



    HONG KONG (Reuters) - A 107-year-old Hong Kong villager, who still enjoys an occasional smoke, has attributed his longevity in part to decades of sexual abstinence, a newspaper said on Sunday.

    "I don't know why I have lived this long," Chan Chi -- one of Hong Kong's oldest people -- was quoted as saying in the South China Morning Post during an annual feast for the city's elders.

    "Maybe it has to do with the fact that I have lived a sex-less life for many years -- since I was 30," said Chan, a widower whose youthful bride perished during the Japanese invasion in World War Two.

    Chan, from Hong Kong's less built-up New Territories hinterland, was pictured looking sprightly and eating heartily at the banquet.

    A former chef, he said a low-fat diet and regular dawn exercises had helped him fight off the ravages of old age.

    But the centenarian, who's had no difficulty living a monastic existence for nearly 80 years, admits the pleasures of tobacco have been harder to resist.

    "Now I want to quit," he was quoted as saying of his decades-long cigarette addiction. "Maybe the government should ban cigarette sales so I can give it up," he added.

    OK, I'd let the corpse cool, but I might have to hook up on occasion if my wife died and I was only 30. Otherwise, I wouldn't want to live 77 years without sex. How much World of Warcraft could one man play?
