Sex

How can an 86 year old get an erection without medication? 194.126.80.63 (talk) 13:58, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

The erectile dysfunction article lists different causes, many of which probably can be prevented without the use of medication, though it may be a bit late at 86 to undo decades of sub-optimal habits. Ian.thomson (talk) 14:12, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

He can just have one. Many 86-year olds have erections without any aid. --Jayron32 17:44, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Very carefully? --47.146.63.87 (talk) 22:06, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

Ask Julio Iglesias Sr. or a few of the others on the list of oldest fathers. In the case of the oldest (ugh), having a 16-year-old wife helps. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:55, 24 May 2018 (UTC)

The list is a good idea especially perhaps the oldest but not sure Julio Iglesias Sr. is really a good example here. Our article claims his wife underwent fertility treatment for the second child. (No info for the earlier child born a year before.) He was a gynecologist who founded "the Madrid Maternity Clinic and became the head of its sterility, infertility and family planning unit". While this doesn't really tell us about his contribution, such methods are conducive to even techniques like Electroejaculation if needed. And he would seem to be the person who, despite his apparenty focus on female reproductive health, to be aware of them. More to the point perhaps even the earlier child's birth date suggests a conception date after the FDA approval of not not only Sildenafil (Viagra) but also probably Vardenafil (Levitra/Vivanza) although probably not Tadalafil (Cialis). I'm not saying any of these were used, more that from the info we know it seems we can conclude about as much to the OPs question from this particular case as an 86 year old man who seems happy all the time after his marriage to an 18 year old partner.

Los Angeles personality

What is the name of the former exotic dancer who used to stand on a street corner in Los Angeles 30(?) or so years ago campaigning for office?

Are you thinking of Angelyne? Matt Deres (talk) 01:48, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

I was wondering whether the OP might mean Angelyne, but it didn't quite fit because as far as I know she's never been an exotic dancer. She's the prototypical "famous for being famous" person. I had forgotten, assuming I knew it, that she had ever been a candidate for office, but looking it up I see she was in the recall election that brought Arnold Schwarzenegger to the governorship. That was only 15 years ago, not 30. --Trovatore (talk) 01:55, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Could you be thinking of Norma Jean Almodovar, author of Cop to Call Girl: Why I left the LAPD to make an honest living as a Beverly Hills prostitute ? She was a candidate for Lieutenant Governor of California in 1986. I wouldn't know about campaigning on street corners. —Tamfang (talk) 05:38, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
