Sex Over Sixty



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 theseπŸ˜‚. Take care of you. Jan in Castle Gresley

    Who would have thought you'd need to exercise ahead of time. Sorry for the aches and pains. Also hope you're off work today.

  8. Do people honestly believe that people over sixty don't have sex?
    I 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.

  9. 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

  13. I'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

    It'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.
    It'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!

    Thank 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.....
