LIKE many tired new dads, Ramjeet Raghav has discovered he now finds less time for love.
Then again, the bloke is 95 years old.
Indian farmer Ramjeet became the world's oldest father at 94 last year when wife Shakuntala, gave birth, aged 58, to their son Vikramjeet.
Ramjeet famously boasted of his all-night sex romps with the missus. But their lad is now one year old — and they are having to adjust.
Ex-wrestler Ramjeet said: "I used to be able to go on through the night, sometimes two to three times a night, and if I got the chance during the day then I would. But now we have our son it's not always possible. We're so tired all the time and there isn't the opportunity."
Little Vikramjeet cramps his mum and dad's style by waking at 5am for a feed then snapping at their heels all day.
But Ramjeet now saves his rupees for a little bedroom treat — Viagra.
He said: "I now take a capsule a few times a month so I can go the whole night again.
"I'm up, down, up, down, through the night. I don't stop. It makes me feel like our wedding night again. She loves it."
Now, as much as they love and dote on their prized tot, they have decided one is enough — especially in the tight confines of their two-room hut.
Ramjeet still works, digging the fields nine hours a day for £12 a week despite gammy knees, and says: "I am very happy to be celebrating my son's first birthday.
"But I don't want a second. One child is enough. I thought I wanted more sons, a big family, but I didn't realise how hard a job being a dad is."
Shakuntala, now 59, agrees: "I thought I wanted a big family — but not any more. One child is enough and now we want to be able to give our son everything we didn't have. We will make sure he has a wonderful life."
Ramjeet has had to make other sacrifices. Vikramjeet's favourite sport used to be yanking Dad's long locks, beard and 'tache — so Ramjeet has had to cut them back.
Meanwhile, the family are like any other in their village in the north Indian state of Haryana — and recently celebrated Vikramjeet's first birthday.
Shakuntala said: "We can't afford cake, so it was lovely that our neighbour brought us a birthday cake. Vikramjeet has now tried cake, it's wonderful. It's been a really lovely day."
The previous oldest dad was Indian Nanu Ram Jogi, at 90. Britain's oldest is ex-market trader Raymond Calvert, 79, of Winewall, Lancs, who last year had son Jamie Rai.
