I have been a widow for 6-1/2 years after having a good, 45-year marriage. <BR/><BR/>I live in a senior apartment building, where he lives part time. I first met him at a blood pressure reading. He does not know how to cook, just grills and buys fast foods to throw in the microwave, but he loves my cooking and baking. He buys the food for me to cook for him and he also takes me out for dinner a couple times of the week. <BR/><BR/>He is a great lover and is not pushy about it. He cannot get hard for he had surgery 3 years ago. But we still have sex in other ways and I can see what you mean in the article about you that I read in the Green Bay Press Gazette. <BR/><BR/>We enjoy each other's company. I have no intentions of marrying again and neither does he, for he has been a bachelor for so long. When he’s away, I miss him and his arms around me. <BR/><BR/>He says he only cares for me and no one else because I accept the only kind of sex we can have together. Sex isn't everything -- companionship is just as nice -- but at my age I do enjoy sex.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17568814.post-1165887459157511602006-12-11T17:37:00.000-08:002006-12-11T17:37:00.000-08:00Bill, thank you for visiting and leaving such prov...Bill, thank you for visiting and leaving such provocative comments.<BR/><BR/>No, you’re not too old for ANY of this! If you only knew how many women I've met recently who would love to meet you!

Am I normal? is one of the questions I thought I had long ago answered ... but then I turned old. Now it's, is my sex drive normal for a 70 year old man? Is it normal for my mind to be filled with all the desires of a 30-year-old while my body acts like it was on vacation? Are the best years of sexual activity behind me? <BR/><BR/>The women I meet act as if they are looking for a friend and can't be bothered with sex ... is this the way it is or am I meeting the wrong women?

Certainly many women feel as you do, that they've "been there, done that," and can be content and fulfilled without sex.<BR/><BR/>I acknowledge your feelings and have no quarrel with them. You sound very much in love with your husband and satisfied with your relationship. You express yourself eloquently when you say, <BR/><BR/>"Each segment of our lives carry different problems and differnt rewards and this part of my life is full of gratitude for staying with and sharing my life with this man, the man I have always loved."<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, there are those of us who are well past menopause and are experiencing exhilarating sex in our later years. I'm in a relatively new (5 years) relationship, but some of the women I interviewed for Better Than I Ever Expected are with long-time partners/husbands. Since those of us who are enthusiastically enjoying older-age sex are seldom heard from or portrayed in the media, I feel a mission (and a joyful mission it is!) to give voice to that part of our population.<BR/><BR/>By the way -- I'm considering writing an article addressing those physical challenges -- e.g. discomfort being on knees/forearms -- and discussing ways to work around those issues. <BR/><BR/>Others who want to join our conversation, please chime in!<BR/><BR/>-- JoanJoan Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06423337694076541862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17568814.post-1164754019601558842006-11-28T14:46:00.000-08:002006-11-28T14:46:00.000-08:00You have got to be kidding me!

If sexuality were meant to continue after menopause, heart attacks, high blood pressure and all the other aliments that accompany aging we wouldn't need to pump ourselves full of hormones and viagra. <BR/>I have been married forty one years and we have accepted the demise of intercourse. Neither one of us can be up on our knees or fore arms for any length of time, joking aside, we are happy and content. Who wouldn't love to once again feel the rush and passion of lusty sex, but "been there and done that". It is quite alright to love one another and share the moments of laughter at the irony of becoming our elderly parents in the eyes of our children without trying to be forty again. <BR/>Each segment of our lives carry different problems and differnt rewards and this part of my life is full of gratitude for staying with and sharing my life with this man, the man I have always loved.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
