" Older people who think that activity between the sheets is strictly for bedbugs are sorely mistaken, according to medics in the Philippines.  Dr Emmanuel T. Gatchalian, director emeritus of the Geriatric Centre of the St. Luke&#146;s Medical Centre and consultant of the Philippine Heart Centre, said that older people must ditch the idea that a vibrant sex life is a taboo subject for them.  Dr Gatchalian commented to the Manila Bulletin: &amp;quot;Sex is not only for the young. Older people think that sex is dirty if they do it at their age. But they must remember that we never lose our sexual drives as long as we are alive.&amp;quot;  Dr Eduardo Rommel S. Poblete, training officer at the centre, also highlighted the fact that many older people&amp;#039;s experiences of ageism can actually have a detrimental effect on their physical condition.  &amp;quot;We tell them to just sit on their rocking chair and to refrain from doing chores but with this, we actually push them to the grave earlier,&amp;quot; he said.  \u00A9 Adfero Ltd "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
