Sex and relationships webchat with Trudy Hannington

Late night? 6 pm?

Obviously cocoa and bed time.

Maybe that's where I'm going wrong?

Name changing? Since when did Gransnetters become so coy? Wouldn't have been felt necessary in Geraldine's time

Oh, who decided to put 'late night'? 'Evening' would have been fine, and not so....silly!

Perhaps the thinking behind it is that "late night" makes it sound sexier. Sort of - "you and me baby, under the covers". With the light on.

I mean "off"!

Large amount of crossed legs thighs are not sexy.

12 November?

Oh dear, think I have a date!

With DGD2.

When you think that most of these things have a head shot only, all that bare expanse of thigh does seem a bit suggestive of things not cerebral.

Just what I was thinking. Maybe it's to jog our memories of what we are supposed to asking about - what was that, again?

Hi Trudy, thank you for coming on Gransnet. I don't have any questions, I'm quite happy with my relationship and my body, my partner's and our desires. I just thought it would make a change hearing from someone in our age group who is entirely satisfied.

I do struggle with the way sex is portrayed in films and other media now,as compared to when I was young, because I feel that the boundaries of what is acceptable are constantly being pushed. Is there an answer to how that can be challenged in our society? (I don't think so, other than looking after one's own sensibilities). Just the other night, my husband and I looked at each other and simultaneously said "I can't watch this" and turned off a film we had been waiting to see for a while.

It's not that late as the love of my life does not return from his day's grind until 18:35

I remember watching a tv drama series called Tell Me You Love Me which showed sexual encounters in a non-shocking, quite matter of fact way, and included an older woman as one character, who was the therapist. I do remember being surprised when it showed her and her equally 'mature' husband...
I thought it quite refreshing that the grey-haired couple weren't just portrayed as ready for Horlicks and nothing else!

Shows how unusual that is for me to remember - you hardly ever see passion between older people on tv.

I agree Grannyknot. Despite being really, really old with one or two minor health issues, DH and I are quite 'satisfied'!

Anyway, if we change our name to ask a question, they'll still know who it is at HQ!

I'm not saying I've got a question! I could make some up though

Only joking Luce.

Last Tango on Gransnet!

It's a shame we can't think of anything to ask. I do hope there are others asking behind the scenes. I've been wracking my brains, but frankly I am realistic enough to know that any problems I may have with DBH in the future, lovely as he is, would be easily solvable with the aid of a size ten blonde 25 year old in the nude.

For heavens sake! If we have questions at our time pf life, as an intelligent bunch, I hope we would have asked them and got answered by now!

I agree, Galen!
