Meet the world's oldest virgin, 120-year-old Indian monk Swami Sivananda

A '120-year-old' monk, who claims he is the oldest man to have ever lived, has offered the secret to his old age: celibacy.

As well as sex, Swami Sivananda also abstains from spices, and practices yoga every day. He sleeps in a mat on the floor with a wooden slab as a pillow, according to the Hindustan Times. 

Sivananda was born in 1896, according to his passport.

He grew up in poverty in West Bengal, where both his parents died before he was six, before moving to Varanasi and deciding to become a monk.
