Sex and the over sixties!

I’m now 63.My husband and I had a very active sex life-at least once every day,more if the opportunity arose! Sadly I lost him two years ago and I didn’t want to see anyone else for a year after that although my sex drive didn’t diminish.A year ago I met someone else to whom I was attracted but he took things very slowly-not even a kiss for the first four dates.I was very restrained but by the seventh date I really wanted things to go further and he nearly had kittens! We were too old apparently “for that sort of thing” (he was 64.).After a few more dates we parted as I couldn’t see any future without being intimate,not that I gave that as a reason to him,just said things weren’t working out…Of course it’s not the be all and end all but it’s a big part of a relationship to me,even at my advanced age! I’ve since met two more men,one of 65,the other a toyboy of 58 and they’re both the same.Neither want any sort of sexual relationship as they feel we should be past that sort of thing.i thought it was women who were supposed to lose their libido as they got older but it’s certainly not in my case!Surely there is sex after sixty-it can be even better without all the angst when we were youngsters

Crazy and sad, but believable… thankfully, I don’t think that way! :slight_smile:

I’m 71, my wife is 70 and has Parkinsons.

We make sure that she has at least one orgasm every day and we have some sort of sexual contact (I’m locked in a chastity cage) typically 3 or 4 times a week. Sex is very important to both of us.

You are not being unreasonable in looking for physical intimacy in your 60’s or, in fact, at any age.

I hope thats not the case. Im 37 and hubby is 55 so will be 60 in 5 years. My libodo isnt sky high but wouldnt like to think it all stops.
In all seriousness though, i have good friends in their 60s that are still sexually active sobthinkbyouve just been unlucky. Keep searching. You will find the one!!!

As @GoGirl12 has said it could be more to do with possible erectile issues that they don’t want to discuss and so use the “we’re too old” excuse.
You’re not too old to desire sexual activity, you’ve just been a bit unlucky so far.
Don’t give up! There is life after after 60, I’m almost in that age bracket. The right person is out there for you somewhere :slightly_smiling_face:

In my mid 20s I was “with” a guy in his mid 60s who was in a sex less marriage. He was a really fun lover and certainly had no performance issues.

Well i’m 61 and have various medical conditions and mobility is certainly an issue. However I think about sex a great deal, unfortunately my wife is not really interested. I suffer with ED as well (I think its due to medication i’m on). Can get semi hard in a morning and i’m desperate to improve things in that area. I would say good for you still having your libido. Don’t waste it I am sure you will find the right gent. @minecachair

First, sorry for your loss.

Wife and I are 60, and our sex life is very good and adventurous. Just because we are older we are not dead, LOL. God forbid, if something happened to my OH and I got back into wanting a relationship, that person would have to value having an intimate relationship and be open sexually.

Well done for not accepting whats not right for you. I feel the same way, I’m not having a relationship without intimacy and sex. Its very important.

I don’t want to draw attention to this but if your profile name is your real name, it can be seen by anyone whether they have a profile or not. Just wanted to make you aware incase you don’t want that.

I’m not far off 60 and I have no intention of abandoning intimacy when I get there!

:confused::confused::confused: I’d want it :wink::wink::wink:

My parents talk about sex all the time and they are rapidly approaching their 60’s. (58 and 59). It can be a bit embarrassing at times but it’s good to know that they are active in the bedroom department.

Don’t give up looking as there is someone out there if you keep looking. You are just having a bit of bad luck at the moment. Not all guys in their 60’s have hung up their boots. My dad says that “you are as old as you feel and he says that he feels my mum regularly”!!!

@minecachair As you can see from my profile, i am 66 and as horny as I was in my early 20’s
Sadly, Mrs. LC is not anymore and I get told the same, “You shouldn’t want to be doing that at your age”… This has only come about in the last two years or so. (As an aside, we have only had sex twice this year so far!)
But, I married her “for better or worse” and have to accept my life for what it is now.
It is nice to come on here and read and interact with like-minded people (even if I’m a little jealous sometimes ! :smile:) It helps me realise that they are having a good time.

Mr Right will be along soon for you I hope. Keep thinking positve :hugs: x

Last time husband was at his Dad’s he saw a copy of the Karma Sutra with tab markers sticking out of it. “Things they want to try”. TMI really, but they are in their 70s, so definitely not too old at 63!

Sorry to read the passing of your husband and how things have been but yes I agree with you! Sex shouldn’t have to stop when your past 50 or 60 and there are definitely others out there who believed that too so do try to hang in there as you’ll come across others like minded too :slightly_smiling_face:

@minecachair .Im sorry you have lost someone so dear.
As you move on in life and look for someone to share enjoyment in life with,I think it is a matter of just looking for someone in the right places.
By that i mean places where people keep themselves fit and active. Sports clubs , running clubs ( Park run for example).
I keep fit and it keeps the testosterone levels up. And that keeps other things up.
I appreciate some people might be fit but allow the sexual side to fizzle out, but most physically active men will want to be sexually active.
Im just over 60 and i still have an extremely high sex drive… i cant imagine not wanting to be sexually active but obviously accept im not as virile as my early 20’s. It is proportionate i suppose.
If you keep fit and are involved in physical activity, look for potential partners there.
If you arent, its a damn good reason to get yourself in shape.
Good luck, im sure you will find a good,considerate and thoughtful lover and partner.

I’ve found this strand very sad. I think a lot of it is to do with ED, but more so that there’s also a blind disregard that anything exists beyond PIV. That’s just "can’t be bothered’ territory.

I do have ED myself which gets better or worse depending on a cardiac birth defect and how it feels from day to day, but I can still cum almost every day and to be honest there are so many alternatives the attitude is a puzzle. Yes, Viagra’s there, but if PIV is really your thing as a couple how about vibrator use or the occasional ‘guest act’ on holiday?

My last GF, as she said to me as we broke up, had “no complaints in that department”.

It’s all very sad indeed…
