Hummm a knotty subject for sure.
Either bloggers don’t do it , or they don’t want to talk about it.
Me thinks it’s the latter
With provisions lol.
I’m not Julie Andrews.
I never said I was, so the subject of sex, remains on the table , here on Going Gently. It’s the opportunity which is somewhat lacking.
I have a friend called Dan. I met him when I sizing up aubergines in Sainsbury’s a few years ago. ( I know it’s stereotypical but aubergines do make incredibly realistic penguins for a novelty vegetable class in a flower show), well I’d met him a while before when I was a nurse on ITU and he was a student.
We’d fancied each other for years but only got together occasionally after I was single.
A lot older now, but still a spring chicken, he’s moved away, but when back in the area he looks me up for a “reunion” of sorts.
I call him Helen Keller in my head, and when talking of him to friends.
For he’s not a strong conversationalist .
There is nothing more flattering than someone who finds you physically attractive who is a dish themselves .And he’s a dish …..
Hey ho
Today I’m paying the price
Sex over sixty ! Pah! You can keep it
I have a pulled at least one muscle in my back and can’t cough without pain
I feel as though I’ve. just been hit by a bus
Bloody hell
Bloody hell here too John, my second shitty cold/cough in two months. But sex at over 70, I will keep hoping that someone will be game!! Don’t get me wrong there are a couple of guys I’ve known for years who still would like to play but I much prefer intelligent conversation, a long walk, decent coffee and sadly they provide none of these😂. Take care of you. Jan in Castle Gresley
ReplyDeleteI think all of these are important , but two out of three ain’t bad, as meatloaf puts it
DeleteWho would have thought you'd need to exercise ahead of time. Sorry for the aches and pains. Also hope you're off work today.
ReplyDeleteHugs! (but gentle)
Reminds me of the joke
DeleteWhat’s Welsh foreplay in sex ?
“ Brace yourself Nerys!”
Unusual name for a sheep
DeleteCrikey. I thought that sex over sixty was just a myth!
ReplyDeleteGawd no! It’s bloody rife
DeleteIs he Dan Dare or Desperate Dan? Remember that scene in "Boys from the Blackstuff" when Yosser Hughes is in the confessional box?
ReplyDeleteDesperate Dan and Desperate John. Yuk.
DeleteYuk is an unusual forename.
DeleteDear YP: What a wonderfully funny response to poor Yuk.
DeleteCeci
But the name suits them so well. :-)
DeleteOh, Pud! You made me snort into my coffee! Naughty man!
DeletePoor Yuk is sad. Poor Yuk hasn't seen any action is ages (if ever). Pity poor Yuk.
DeleteBloody brilliant comment
DeleteBetter subject matter than usual I must say
DeleteLee
It a frothy silly poet and the replies should reflect this fact
DeleteYou have turned my usual light read into something all rather disgusting .
ReplyDeleteHow disappointing.
He'll be complaining he's caught something nasty next.
DeleteGive me a break, there was ample warning! The first word of the title was Sex, ffs.
DeleteNext time just sign off
Disgusted from Tunbridge Wells
There are some frisky and very silly Gone Gently team members being very winsome today. Especially when disgusting is in the imagination of the non beholder. Thank you, gang.
DeleteIf people refrained from replying to Anon's comments they'd soon wander off elsewhere. By
DeleteNo point complaining about them if you're going to keep encouraging them.
Disgusted from Tunbridge Wells a blast from the past
DeleteRub a bit of arnica on your sore bits John x
ReplyDeleteCan you email me flis
DeleteI don't have the means to John - I only do texts and you can't put your phone number here x
DeletePerhaps you could use a friends
DeleteI will ask my dancer friend John x
DeleteGood
DeletePoor thing, but I hope the aches and pains make you smile, think back on the escapade that, hey ho, it's a fair trade, was worth it.
ReplyDeleteOf course it was, I can’t be the only one
DeleteDo people honestly believe that people over sixty don't have sex?
ReplyDeleteI remember phoning my mum and dad one sunday morning and I had caught them in bed. They were in their seventies:)
Next time, more stretching before and after, should help. And good on you.
Pixie, sex with over 60s is like death, a taboo subject
DeleteLet’s wave the flag between us x
Sex over 60? Of course! It's just that we're not quite as supple as we once were!🧘Maybe a different position? Or a different technique? xx
ReplyDeleteWell said that woman!
DeleteWhere there's a will... xx
DeleteWhere’s there a Willy
DeleteWell done, you. Smile through the pain and rejoice in the way you acquired it.
ReplyDeleteThere’s life in the oldish dog
DeleteHa! Well, if you're going to injure yourself, that's the way to do it.
ReplyDeleteMore fun than badminton
DeleteAhh ... but what a way to get those aches and pains!!
ReplyDeleteAlan's first wife was called Julie Andrew.
Did she like singing
DeleteNot that I know of, but she was a dancer ... so maybe there was some running up and down hills. ;-)
DeleteI'm 76 and a widow of five years. When I was at my dermatologist's recently, he was gently running his fingers down my leg while he looked for any new cancers. (I've had a melanoma in the past.) I wanted to say "That's the most action I've gotten in 10 years," but didn't. Much to my daughter's relief. Lol
ReplyDeleteWhat fun ….when I go to the optitians I always get the urge to kiss him when he’s close by looking into my eyes
DeleteI was in a play once called "Sex Please, We're Sixty." It was silly and funny and sweet. Not unlike sex over sixty.
ReplyDeleteThe best sex I’ve ever had was later in my life when laughing was a big part of things
DeleteI agree.

ReplyDeleteWas it too graphic?
DeleteDid I miss something
DeleteNo, just a typo. I fixed it and left it again.
DeleteMy husband just turned 65, and shows no signs of slowing down. He can't; he has a much younger wife to keep up with! :)
ReplyDeleteNicely said jennifer xx
DeleteIsn't "Sex" what posh people have their coal delivered in? A very old pun x
ReplyDeleteBoom boom
DeleteIt's probably that you're just out of practice John. Those muscles need to be kept moving! Sex in our mid/late 70's is wonderful, regularly first thing in the mornings and often mid afternoon before a lovely siesta.
ReplyDeleteIt's good to know we're both still attractive to each other. I'm sure our grandchildren think we're past it but little do they know!
Well said that woman
DeleteAs a psychologist colleague of mine used to say when I worked at the SH clinic, "if you don't use it you'll lose it". Keep practising!
ReplyDeleteLol you too P xx
DeleteI'm 72, my husband is 67, he decided a few years ago that I was too old to have sex with any more!
ReplyDeleteJesus Christ Hester, no wonder you are HARD UP ( not literally so unfortunately)
DeleteYou need to buy him some sildenafil !
Loves
Keith
Xx
Hester, he means viagra x
DeleteHe needs a sharp slap
DeleteThe other day I pulled a muscle in my side, and I was just reaching for the phone. Would much rather have done that your way! xo Julie in L.A.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant comment
DeleteYes , a badge of honour
DeleteHow wonderful
ReplyDeleteIt was fun 🤫
DeleteLife is for living you might as well enjoy yourself in the process. Good on you x
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely ….
DeleteThis post made me happy. Human touch is underrated and dare I say therapeutic. Yay, let 2024 be the year of busy pants 😊 xx Jane
ReplyDeleteOf course it is, I’ve posted many posts about therapeutic touch , Boris my Turkey came to me after I washed a patient and she had been touched for the first time in two decades
DeleteThank you all, today's comments have seen Going Gently world at it's best. Have loved it. John pushed an interesting button today. Are you going to start your own "Senior Spouses For Weekends" agency? (Sex in exchange for shelf fitting/casserole cooking, delete as applicable)? Think you might have a winner there.....
ReplyDeleteIt’s a bit of silly froth with a serious message that we over 60 S are still sexual beings and deserve to be so
DeleteWell you know that sore muscles recover better if you keep exercising them?
ReplyDeleteMessage to self lol
DeleteYou know, one of my strongest memories of secondary school was an older teacher coming into school with a badge that said "OLD PEOPLE NEED SEX TO". I often think of that badge.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderfully inappropriate !!!
DeleteBut I’m guessing it was late seventies early eighties lol
Ps nice to have u back
DeleteOh dear. John didn't go gently.
ReplyDeleteYou've rekindled some vague memories from years ago.
As if lol
DeleteThat sounds like one hellava night! Way to go!
ReplyDeleteWhat the mind of man can conceive, he can achieve. Mostly. 😉
ReplyDeleteYou sure got a lot of comments on this, John. My comment is a "no comment!" :)
ReplyDeleteLike the Queen x
DeleteThe "A Friend" post "Does not exist". Go figure! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteWas your original comment really deleted Mary? Perhaps the temperamental "Blogger" system just sent it to "Spam". This keeps happening on many blogs.
DeleteWell, what a wonderful day! As for the achy bits, they'll soon be fine; they are just warming up...
ReplyDeleteCome for the post, stay for the comments!! :)
ReplyDeleteFilthy bastard x
ReplyDeleteWho's to say Julie Andrews never did it past 60? Funny how she still has that image of purity despite appearing in several of her late husband's more sexually charged comedies.
ReplyDeleteThe mind boggles, but I agree with you. Sex, in its many forms, needs to be accepted as a normal part of living.
ReplyDeleteYou should be so lucky!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure the aches and pains are a price well worth paying for such a great time. Agree that it's just wonderful to be fancied by someone who is really attractive themselves.
ReplyDeleteTalk about leaving us speechless. You are never too old for a good cuddle.
ReplyDeleteI’m in the hotel lobby having breakfast and nearly spit my muesli and yogurt across the table. I don’t know what you did but surely it doesn’t have to be THAT athletic, you lucky dog. You’ll get no sympathy from me.
ReplyDeleteSome of us are damned jealous now!
ReplyDeleteThere's an old joke about older people having sex & riding a bicycle. 1) You never learned how to begin with 2) someone saw you doing it & said you looked silly 3) you don't have a bicycle.
ReplyDeleteProud of you!
ReplyDeleteOh my, if that is what sex is like over sixty I better get moving. I have nine months before I hit that golden age!
ReplyDeleteEverything gets old(er) but as long as it works, we need to go for it! (in my opinion)
