I have just been watching the news and apparently all of us (you)over 60's are having, looking or wanting great orgasmic sex. We (you) want to be seen as sexual beings. Problem is your not being careful and are getting all sorts of horrible sexually transmitted diseases. Are you really? shock

Just read the article. I wonder if interest is renewed once people have had a bit of a rest from family life and work. I know DBH is shattered, so sex has become less frequent - whereas I also know that my mother and stepfather in their late 70s, despite her broken back, have a very active sex life.

I really enjoy sex, but the companionship is more important to me. I wouldn't want anyone purely for sex, ever.

Also, I'm not at all surprised about more infections. A friend in her mid-50s has just been told to lay off sex with her new partner (so big complications there!) as she has an infection purely because the skin in her vagina is thinner now that she is older, as it is everywhere else. It got torn and so infection set in. That area is not a good place for fast healing, being warm and moist. (moist is my least favourite word and here I am using it twice!)

Viagra, the landlord reckoned.

I have always thought the "glow" comes from lying on your back with your feet in the air for ten minutes a little while.

I thought it was the rush of blood to the head that comes from lying on your back with your feet in the air (as jings was thinking . . )
