Live webchat with sex & relationships expert Suzi Godson - today 10.30-11.30am

Average figures are very tricky. The figure for how often people have sex over 60 - how was it derived. Was it:
People between 60 and 70 in relationships
People between 60 and 70 - all of them
All people over 60 in relationships
All people over 60...
etc etc
I can imagine that each of these averages will a different figure.

I contacted the woman researcher I mentioned who was doing a PhD on 'sexuality and ageing',
She is in the process of sorting all the info from her research and hopes to do a presentation later this year.
She was at the 'Growing Old disgracefully' gathering in 2010 (I missed that)- had a very lively workshop and also generated interest in women wanting to take part in the research –. She will be contacting all participants with a summary
and has promised to keep in touch and let me know when this happens

I'm in the Manchester group of Growing Old Disgracefully and attended that workshop on sexuality at our Annual Gathering a few years ago.
It was fantastic, as most of our workshops are.
The one thing I remember contributing was that as me and my partner have got older and inevitably less obviously sexually attractive, our eyesight has worsened too. Once the glasses are off we are much more in tune with the other senses, particularly smell and touch which are just as arousing as they always were.
Incidentally, to the Gransnetter who looked on the g.o.d. website and was disappointed there wasn't a group near her.
You could always start one yourself. I'm the Groups Co-ordinator and have helped two women to do just that this year.
Go for it, I've never looked back.

whatisamashedupphrasefor all of today's postings on here - priceless!

"that sticky sweet yuck "

I'm going to try to get that into my brain. A bit like hypnotism.

it's sticky sweet yuck
it's sticky sweet yuck
it's sticky sweet yuck

That'll do it! No more pub puddings!!!

It does have its plus points even if I put weight on this week!!! Got to take a positive from every situation

It's good to know you are getting something out of that fat loss programme.

I would say the imaginary orgasm is better for you than that sticky sweet yuck

I have taken quite a fancy for that american trainer Sky I on a Monday Obese: A year to Save My Life, Jessie something he is very tasty. ohhh. Now thats something tasty to think about.

I meant imagining eating that!!!!

Don't panic Glass!!!!!

Which do you (I mean anyone, not just Glass ) find is the best way to get off to sleep at night. Imaginery orgasms in your head with someone like King Arthur or Genghis Kahn (he does it for me!), or eating something like treacle tart/Christmas cake/sticky toffee pudding/jam cap pudding and custard/strawberry shortcake with clotted cream/lemon ice cream and meringue roulade/eton mess/ Oh! sorry!!

Getting carried away there.

Housework!! I'll tell him to do that. I'm off for a nice walk.

Just wondering what uses more calories sex or housework

Oh, it's mostly cuddles with us now. Sometimes I think I should try harder to bring it all back for the good of his health. It is supposed to be a good form of exercise for blokes. But then I think - hang on! I'm not a gymnasium.

He's happy. He likes his warm-up cuddles when he comes out of the bathroom in the mornings. He's freezing cold! I don't know why! Doesn't have enough hot water I reckon.

Perhaps I'll give him a go when my free sample turns up.

jeni - I didn't know what that f word meant. I googled it. Eurrrgh. Dream old OG.

Harri especially in this chilly weather! Bring on the cuddles

I was amazed that Suzi said those over 60 only had sex once every two months, where did she get that from ? She might like to think that us oldies don't indulge. If it was only on offer every two months he would be getting his marching orders

Jingl! Quite!
Husbands like fellatio, but not cunnilingus! Mind you mine died 9 years ago.
I've not found anyone since!
I may be 67 but I would still like to have a relationship?
I presume you are joining the march tomorrow?
7pm.
Where are you putting that butterfly?

I'll stop reading it now!!!

"And the most arousing thing for any man is feeling his partner come on the tip of his tongue"

Yeah right! Just a bit fanciful perhaps?!

What would you tell your kids these are, when they came to visit? Not to mention the grandkids!!!

I'm not sure about the link to the sex toys shop (in Skydiver's reply). I don't think I'm narrow minded, but.............

Hmmm!

Nope! Didn't like that. Where's the love gonna be with that stuff?

lol @ cobwebs on the ceiling lol lol.ohh lol..

Fascinating webchat questions and answers, thank you Suzi. However, what about those of us who have human needs and desires but no one to share them with? What with separation and subsequent divorce it's about 16 years since I had a partner. Can we talk about 'self-pleasuring' or is it the last taboo and off limits?

Have done the survey.
