Proud Clara Meadmore has never had sex because she was 'too busy' for intimate relationships, which seemed like 'a lot of hassle'.
Clara knew she would remain single from the age of 12 and abstained as a young woman to concentrate on earning a living.
The retired secretary said sex meant marriage during her youth in the 1920s and 1930s and she wasn't interested in settling down.
She has now reached her 107th birthday and marked the milestone by holding a small party with friends at the Perran Bay nursing home in Cornwall.
Clara, of Truro, Cornwall, also received a card from the Queen and celebrated with a drop of wine - from her favourite beaker.
Speaking on her birthday in 2008, Clara revealed that she was proud of the fact she remained a virgin.
She said: 'People have asked whether I am a homosexual and the answer is no. I have just never been interested in or fancied having sex.
I imagine there is a lot of hassle involved and I have always been busy doing other things.
'I've never had a boyfriend - I've never been bothered about relationships. When I was a girl you only had sex with your husband and I never married.
