The secret of longevity is the rejection of carnal love (4 photos)

This is the conclusion that Clara Meadmore, who is considered the oldest virgin in the world, came to.





The girl was born in 1903 in Glasgow. And found such significant milestones in history as the beginning of the First World War, the collapse of the Titanic and Not only.



Clara in her youth

His father was in the military, and Clara and her parents often moved from place to place. in place. Thanks to this, I got to know different places and cities peace. For some time she lived in Egypt, Canada, New Zealand.

The girl was orphaned early, at the age of 12. There was no one to take care of her. And young Midmore set a goal - to return to the UK, for which we need there was a lot of money - 500 pounds.



In mature years

The girl worked hard - as a housekeeper, then as a secretary. And she managed to raise the necessary amount.

She returned as an adult. But if today is 20 years old - this is still youth, then Clara was already actually an overage. But received marriage proposals from several quite pleasant young people, she refused everything. Since after the loss of parents made a promise to herself not to marry or have intimate relationships with men.

When World War II began, she went to the front as nurse. After that, times of hardship and deprivation came, and Clara I thought about just being full and healthy.



In deep old age

The public was interested in the story of an unusual woman when Midmore celebrated her 100th birthday and was in a nursing home in Cornwall. Journalists meticulously questioned the elderly lady about her sexual orientation. To which she replied with dignity that she was heterosexual. But she was never attracted even by the thought of an intimate relationship with someone in principle.

What was the reason for such a categorical position on the issue sex? Who knows. Maybe a strict upbringing, illness or childhood trauma. But in any case, according to Clara, it was abstinence that became the key to her long life. Which, in general, was happy, because the woman dedicated time for my favorite activities - reading, gardening, talking with people. And not spent mental strength on building relationships that ultimately as a result, they can easily turn into betrayal, betrayal, death partner and an incurable spiritual wound.

Clara passed away quietly in 2011 at the age of 108, believing that she lived her life with dignity and happiness. And went down in history as the most old virgin.
