World's oldest dad is 94 – and likes sex three times a night

Becoming the world's oldest dad has meant that 94-year-old Ramjeet Raghav has had to put his sex life on hold.

The nonagenarian and his partner Shakuntala, who is in her 50s, have halted their three-times-a-night lovemaking in order to focus on their new son Vikramjeet.

'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,' Mr Raghav, from Haryana in northern India, who spent nine decades as a bachelor, told The Sun.

"When she asks I will go on all night but for the sake of my child I've put our needs aside for now."

His partner added that she does not think her husband seems old, saying: 'He can make love like any 25-year-old man - even better because he can go on all night. And he's a wonderful father.'

The couple also revealed that once they have settled into parenthood they would like to try for a second child.

Mr Raghav, who was a wrestler in his younger days and still works nine hours a day digging fields, is confident he will be around to see his offspring grow up, challenging reporters to come and see him in another ten years.

He has taken the world record for world's oldest dad from Indian farmer Nanu Ram Jogi, whose wife gave birth to his 21st child when he was 90 in 2007.

In the UK, the oldest father is 79-year-old Raymond Calvert, whose 25-year-old partner gave birth last year.
