Sex laughs and bedroom fun

Artaylar

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.

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.

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.

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

That’s a bit sad really

Evidence for this far sweeping generalisation please Gagajo?

OP, obviously diagnosis is a big part of your hilarious sex life,
so carry on and enjoy yourself.

So in what way is this different to all the outraged reports about the good morning thread the other day.

Emily49 it was a *joke"
And quite a funny one, even if I do say so myself...

If being a “ Pearl clutcher” means not discussing my sex life with men and women whom I have never met then yes I am proud to be one.

To start such a conversation with strangers is coarse.

And shared with Gransnet and the internet too. How heart-warming! I bet he's chuffed to bits (if indeed he exists)

Speak for yourself!

I feel sorry for Mr Gwiz5

As Churchill may have said when asked about sex - "Sex...I enjoy it immensely”. It sums it up nicely for me,

Gransnet - a forum for Grandparents to discuss the issues faced by older men and women.

Many of us become grandparents in our 40s and sex is part of life for a great many of us and we should be able to discuss problems and have the benefit of other experiences. The OP apologized for any offense caused very quickly, so why has it become a witch hunt.

Or has it just turned into online bullying that our grandchildren have to endure on their social media

If G wiz wants to know if she and her partner ( or he and his partner) make jokes about sex in a loving relationship , I see nothing offensive. The title is very clear , so if talk about sex offends anyone just don’t read it. If having read it the remarks were referring to abuse or were obscene I would report it , but it seems pretty tame to me.

Sorry I meant if they want to know if anyone else makes jokes about sex

Have a few worries, you won't be thinking about sex or anything along those lines. Nothing like trauma for putting you off such frivolities !

Nothing wrong with having fun, nothing wrong with having sex and nothing wrong with combining the two. I’m not sharing any details though.

If they are both having fun and enjoying themselves, Why not? No one is describing how they hang from the chandeliers.
An elderly widow one said to me "Sex is important in a marriage. If the sex is good, the marriage is good"
Sex strengthens the pair bond, as one of the advantages.

If the thread helps anyone , or a couple who are having problems, all well and good. If the help / advice is anonymous, no one need feel embarassed. You are hardly going to recognise each other in the supermarket!

S i L gave a little advice which helped us when we had a problem.
Sensible, and sensitive discussion can be a benefit in problem solving. It might even save a marriage

Well...whatever anyone thinks or says, it’s got 4 pages, more than some of the really interesting topics which fizzle out on page 1. ?

Exactly. We all do it, nothing to be sniffy about.

I always think it's a ludicrous act really. If aliens could look down and see us!

I don’t, and haven’t for 30 years...?

As Gagajo says, if we have children, we did, and hopefully still do.
And unless here is some physical disability, it is good that we still do. It is good for us, mentally and physically.
Studies by various universities have shown that regular sex, slows the onset of Alzheimers, so it must be good!
It is a wonderful bonding agent.

We don't boast of not eating when we have the opportunity.
