When we are portrayed as wrinkly, feeble-bodied and feeble-minded dolts who can't remember why we're even trying to have sex, it insults those of us trying to get society to recognize our wisdom, strength, and, yes, sexuality.<BR/><BR/>Keep those comments coming!<BR/><BR/>-- JoanJoan Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06423337694076541862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17568814.post-54884871689150011892009-01-04T08:57:00.000-08:002009-01-04T08:57:00.000-08:00I think this list is insulting and humiliating.

This includes trying to feel sexy despite my age, and I don't doze, don't wear dentures, and don't forget people's names. The only item I found mildly amusing was the "Turn off all the lights!" one--I think a lot of us can relate to that. (I'll admit I'm having a bad self-esteem day, but even on a good day I would find this list not-funny.)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12352735745643108641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17568814.post-22036402982309671732008-12-29T13:36:00.000-08:002008-12-29T13:36:00.000-08:00The tips are humorous, however, I just turned 70, ...The tips are humorous, however, I just turned 70, and after becoming a widow 2 years ago and being celibate for the last 17 yrs of my marriage, I am now enjoying the best sex of my LIFE!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17568814.post-64480065429254784572008-11-09T07:41:00.000-08:002008-11-09T07:41:00.000-08:00I agree, we must have a sense of humor on this rid...I agree, we must have a sense of humor on this ride we are all taking.

Even though this means we might have to hear stuff like this, I wouldn't trade freedom of speech for a bunch of sticky rules about what's okay to say and not okay to say.<BR/><BR/>The upside of a free society is that we don't have to pay a lot of attention to insulting jokes and comments, and we don't have to live by them.<BR/><BR/>I think not taking it personally is good advice.

Certainly they exaggerate issues all of us face. I think that's what humor does. The older we get, the thicker the skin needs to be to let the negativity roll off. As (I believe) Bette Davis said: "Old age ain't for sissies" But that doesn't mean we can't have fun!<BR/><BR/>We're talking all things romance at the Dr. Romance blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17568814.post-30333894941165978022008-11-06T13:11:49.760-08:002008-11-06T13:11:49.760-08:00Yes, moderately funny, and not insulting in my opi...Yes, moderately funny, and not insulting in my opinion.
