Some of us can't even do it thrice a day when we hit 50.
Farm labourer Ramajit Raghav, 96, who became the world's oldest dad two years ago, has set new standards of virility following the birth of his second son. But his 52-year-old wife Shakuntala Devi is no slouch in the fertility department either.
According to The Times Of India, she gave birth to a healthy baby named Ranjeet at a primary healthcare centre on 5th October. The couple from the northern India state Haryana—about 50km from Delhi—welcomed their first child, Vikramajeet, in November 2010.
Ramajit told reporters that when he walked up to the doctors and revealed he was the father, they all burst into laughter. "They just laughed, but they were very surprised. What can I do? This is all God's wish," said the proud papa.
Having received his "two gifts from God", Ramajit has decided that God's been generous enough, so Shakuntala will be undergoing a tubectomy operation—a permanent contraception surgical procedure to prevent pregnancies.
Despite getting thinner as he nears his century mark, Ramajit was apparently a wrestler in his younger days, and he has high hopes for his sons, according to The Mirror. "I have been a farmer all my life," he said. "I want them to become high ranking government workers."
He also said that a daily diet of almonds, butter and milk has kept him sexually active right through his twilight years.
"My neighbours are jealous and they keep asking me for my secret," he revealed. "I do it three to four times a night. I'm healthy and I enjoy sex with my wife. I think it's very important for a husband and wife to have sex regularly."
Until he met Shakuntala 22 years ago, Ramajit said he had remained a bachelor. "But she didn't have any family or friends around, so I wanted to help her," he recalled. "We fell in love later."
Shakuntala believes she would have been dead by now if not for Ramajit's caring ways. "It doesn't matter how old he is, I love him and I care for him dearly even, though he shouts at me sometimes," she said.
"He doesn't seem old to me, he can make love like any 25-year-old man, even better because he can go on all night, and he makes a wonderful father."
