Over 60’s how many still have sex

My friends and I talk about both of those, and more dragonfly. I've moaned about how my employer has 'massaged' my working hours to get extra work for no extra salary, my friends have talked about their investments or conversely their debt. I guess it depends on the level of friendship.

People can discuss what they like. However I'm not remotely interested discussing my sex life, nor do I want to hear about my friend's sex life.

Just is of no interest to me.

My mother had dementia and one day she told me how she and my father had had a good sex life. I almost fainted. Clutched my pearls and reached for the smelling salts.

It is horrible to feel alone. If OP feels comfortable seeking support for this issue, those who aren't comfortable discussing it can back out an those who are willing an able to support her can contribute.

It does not concern me if others discuss their sex lives, but I choose, and like mine to be private.
I dont consider not discussing your sex life shows how deep your friendship is.

Well done Cleo 51 for bringing this up, a courageous thing to do on this site. I think this is quite a common problem. Would he agree to seeing a therapist? It does seem though that his problem stems from erectile dysfunction and this is a medical problem and although he has been to the doctor with this he is not admitting to it or facing up to it.

I had a similar problem, my wife (same sex civil partnership) was living abroad for much of the year and not particularly interested when we were together. I solved the issue by having an affair with another woman. It was passionate and totally restored my confidence in myself. Unfortunately it caused untold problems with my long term relationship which may never heal. Do I regret it….I don’t think so.

Lucca it is generally thought of in our society as a taboo subject.
I'm not suggesting people discuss their favourite sex toys but if there's a problem it would be good if folk were able to talk about it, same as any problem.

It’s not taboo, but I wouldn’t talk about my sex life with anyone.
People are free to discuss it with their friends, if that’s what floats their boat, but not mine. it was unwritten rule, what was private stayed private, I would have felt extremely upset if my husband had talked about us with anyone, as he would with me. Any problems the two of you sort it.I’ve never met anyone who didn’t feel the same. In any relationship it would be the same.

I think anything can be discussed on here. The oP sounds really sad and her husband might have a health issue. That shouldn't be tabboo

It is not taboo !!!! Discuss away. I’m just not up for joining in,

Ok Lucca!!!!

Finally.

If S i L and I had not been able to talk, we would have a major problem. She, without knowing the detail, but could probably guess it, provided a solution, for which I am eternally grateful.

If your sponges don't rise, you say so and ask for possible cures.
For something that is so much more important, a solution to a problem needs to be found. And only by talking with family, or friends is it likely to be found.
On GN we are anonymous, so should be able to seek advice from others without any face to face embarrassment.
If you are fortunate enough not to have a problem, you may be able to help someone who has!

Suffering in silence could be detrimental in a number of ways.

Finally.

I didn't say I agree Lucca. I'm merely acknowledging I heard you!!!! ?

Puzzled good post.

Second that Nadateturbe.
Puzzled, I read the bit about 'If your sponges don't rise--' and hadn't realised the subject had switched to cakes. I've been pondering it for ages thinking of what type of sexual problem it could possibly be that contained sponges. Der! "?

I thought the sponges were to do with contraception !!!!

Thank you Sweetpeasue.

Sponge comnents

1 of my thoughts too BBbevan! The rest I'm keeping to myself! ?

BTW this thread is looking very tame compared to the one on Oral sex.
