Over 60’s how many still have sex

Clio51, you are only in your early 60s so would reasonably be expected to still be enjoying a good sex life and affection from your OH. Indeed signs of affection should be expected for the rest of your life. Your partner needs a medical checkup to exclude prostate or other problems but if his health is OK then for me the relationship would be over.

Probably someone doing a PhD thesis.

Bluebellwould

The original post seems quite crude and odd to me. Is this a scam? Doesn’t sound like something an older person would write. Sincere apologies if genuine.

Why do you think that Bluebellewould? Is it because you wouldn't as you stated on another thread yesterday?

Not something I would discuss on a public forum.

I had certain ops over a few years I was told by the gynaecologist my days were over in that respect. Not long after my husband developed problems so we took that as our farewell to love life.
We had a wonderful relationship but we got over it we still love each other that’s all that matters.

Why are people so reluctant to discuss sex with their partners ? Is this a very British thing?.
I agree that affection and sex often don't go hand in hand with men. Another topic for discussion Clio. Hope things improve for you.

I’m not that bothered really, but it’s just the fact that HE’s made that decision and never spoke about it to me only when I e brought it up.
This is not a shy man we’re talking about, lots of girlfriends, partners in younger life
And very open towards sex. I was very shy when we met regarding sex, and he brought me out more.

I think it a build up off things that brought this up, so I need to mention things as I’m not happy about a few things in relationship
He on the other hand would plod along like house sharing than partner and do his own little hobbies. Come yo me when he’s nothing to do and say shall we go for coffee

My bloke, 70s, is still interested. Unfortunately for him, I'm not.

If your OH was always interested up until the time the 'failure' happened then at least you know the most probable reason why. He can't face another failure. If he has never been that bothered I fear 66 might be a bit late get things going. Nowadays we look on 66 as relatively young but I suspect an awful lot of people are not that bothered by then. Try another chat I can't think of any other way of trying to sort this out.

A lot of men equate sex with any sort of affection, they might take the bins out, but try to get up close for a hug and they aren’t interested, on the other hand I know of a couple where the woman despairs that her (viagra fuelled) husband wants sex regularly but that’s it, no cuddles or affection and she is equally upset.
Maybe a serious sit down and an honest talk might be in order.

I'm not in the age group you're after but wanted to respond to your last sentence. If it bothers you, then it is a problem and he shouldn't be disregarding your feelings.
