Sex laughs and bedroom fun

Humourless. No wonder the younger generations think we're past it.

Fanny I think your interpretation of the comments on ‘sexual’ problems’ is the opposite to mine, I read it as positive banter on virility, shared by both of them.

Thanks Sodapop and gotcha Lucca

Maybe the humour attempt was less about trying to make other Gnetters laugh, but an attempt to raise discussion about the use of humour between couples to deal with any disfunction issues that may arise between the sheets?

And TBH I can't for the life of me see why some posters are calling for the OP to be reported to GNHQ etc. Maybe time to move on with nothing to see here.

From what I can tell, it dosent look like the OP meant any harm by posting on this subject. Though it seems that it is not one that is on the whole welcome on GN, and that's fair enough.

There are lots of issues around sex in older age, apart from 'fun' including issues around health, disability, the possibility of more disfunction in older age, as well as general taboo.

Maybe there are more niche forums around on sex in older age for peeps who are looking for advice or wanting to discuss it.

Totally agree Artaylar no reason for the post to be dismissed out of hand.

My gripe with the OP was that promised “laughs” and it wasn’t funny.

Callistemon I'm not even remotely interested in my own

I love the way you call them management fanny it makes me laugh.
I think the way MN handled it was to have a seperate section and you could only post in that section after having been a member for a certain time, in order to weed out trolls. If you dont do that you will be.over run by trolls.

This thread is getting loads of traffic though.
Makes a change from the M&H threads.
I'm a cynical so and so I know.

Hi Galaxy I reported it immediately. I've explained why upthread.
Management replied at 12.20 and said that they 'were having a look'.

Is it Davina McCall?
She is preparing to tell us all that it is possible to have orgasms in your fifties.
Who knew?

god this made me laugh so much

To answer the OP, no it’s not just you,

Also I think this post has been reported so we dont know what will happen. The response isnt usually quick. I have no views on whether it should be or not.

And 'joking' about male impotence
.
Would a male poster having a laugh at the expense of his wife's later life sexual problems be acceptable?

It's just unpalatable, at best, isn't it.

Maybe Galaxy.

Because it didnt involve children ?

I seem to remember that one of our male posters recently recieved a temporary ban, and a stern telling off from GNHQ, for posting a joke with sexual innuendo because it was deemed as unacceptable on this forum. So what's different about this post? It has sexual innuendo and is meant to be funny apparently, so why is this OP being treated differently to the male poster?

I think MN who think this was a troll post and would respond accordingly. I am not saying it is I am just saying it would be given short shrift on the general areas of MN.

The point about the opening post is......it isn’t amusing ! I like a laugh but that was just odd. Didn’t really understand it.

Far TMI!!! For goodness sake , who wants to know .

I`m glad you don`t care about what anyone thinks,because i don`t.

There’s nothing wrong with discussing sex in a humorous way, but I don’t find the OP’s language very amusing or interesting. I do feel that some posters who have commented are assuming that anyone over 50 would not have a sex life, and it’s really “not on” to talk about it, in company. I have a good, fulfilling sex life (I’m 71), but don’t feel the need to discuss the details here or anywhere else - but some might wish to. However, I don’t like the assumption that “we” on GN are too old for this malarkey (cue silly jokes of the “sex life, what’s that, can’t remember that far back” type. I feel GN generally tends to be dominated by stereotypical Grans with old fashioned views, which makes it hard to include topics such as sex.

(Except for Fanny, who has acknowledged the apology)

GNHQ please arrange for these posts to appear in green so they don't get overlooked.

Another case for colouring the OPS posts green.

Hello! The OP has been back and explained herself and everyone just carries on commenting on the first posting in the thread.

I despair.

Weird thing to post on an open forum.
