That would be my personal choice. You can have fun, but use your head and take all necessary precautions. Which is what I believe the original post advocated.
I don’t think the intent of the information given in the link was meant to be an approval, or disapproval of sex between seniors… The morality of sex… or sex with someone other than a spouse is not the issue. The issue is that Seniors are living longer and healthier… and they are having sex… they are also getting STDs and it’s on the rise in this age group. Folks should be aware that sex causes more than just pregnancy and take the necessary precautions.
Ugh the thought of putting yerself about truly sickens me - but that’s my bag - no one elses, do what you like but don’t moan to me when it all collapses around you …
Well thank you… but I don’t find single women having sex a reason to disrespect them either. I do think that a certain level of discression is necessary… as well as common sense. Men have been “fooling around” since the beginning of time without many eyebrows being raised. Women are the other half of that component… and should have the same ability if they desire. There is a difference in participating in a sexual relationship… and being a prostitute.
Bit tired of hearing about ‘well men do it’ … So ! …Doesn’t mean women have to lower themselves to be equal to that behaviour.
I feel just as strongly towards male sluts - many children have been born as a result of a quick fix - I see ‘nothing’ endearing about it …
I find I have more respect for prostitutes than some of the men and women dashing from person to person these days.
Something really worries me is how celibacy and virginity are made to sound so wrong and laughed at. We don’t have freedom really as we can’t be free to just not do it !
People on here are talking about ‘dangers’. Well, many prostitutes are on drugs, sharing needles, passing STD’s around, & risking getting beaten up, robbed or killed! Some have kids. Unbelievable!
And as far as tired of hearing about women doing it if they want or “don’t moan to me”, who said anyone would?
Men & women can live anyway they choose, they’re big, grown up people. Calling people “sluts” because they choose to ‘date’ various people is pretty ignorant & judgemental in my books.
Yes more respect for prostitutes who generally are doing a job keeping themselves clean and safe. I feel sorry for the ones you are talking about but they are not the entire population, many are very serious about their profession.
And yes people are adults and can do what they want doesn’t mean we all have to like that or encourage it.
As I said previously they seem to have no problem calling those who are celibate or virgins out for their sexual decisions so they can hardly moan if they are judged too.
Yes… of course you are… You say you are tired of hearing “men do it” but women shouldn’t lower themselves to that level… WELL… who do you think men are doing it WITH?
There is also a difference in people jumping from one sexual partner to another and those that have a sexual relationship with a person they are dating… Don’t you think? Nothing wrong with chastity and virginity… but at 60? Not to mention that some older people cannot marry for fear of losing pensions or other benefits. I think what the OP was getting at was that older people are going to have sex…and that if they do they should be careful with who and take precautions.
If I were widowed again, and I still had my health and met a nice gentleman I wanted a relationship with… I wouldn’t remarry… not now… but you better believe we would enjoy intimacy… that’s a normal need.
I understand what you’re saying but at the risk of getting personal about myself, my husband of almost 26 years is the only person I’ve ever been with so this so called goody two shoes will bow out of this discussion now:-)
I completely understand… however your views are very much those of a person who has NOT been widowed. I said the same thing when I lost my husband… Never will I ever be interested in another man… etc… all those things you have just said. BUT… when it happens to you… most people find that lonliness and the joy of being able to share life and all it’s events with another person are very strong motivators. And when you care enough about that other person to want to involve them in your life, intimacy follows. I am certainly not anticipating being alone again, but as a realist… I know it can happen. Having been in the situation before, If I am healthy and able and someone wonderful came along again… well…I never say never.
What the caterpillar perceives is the end is just the beginning.
Caterpillar to Chrysalis to Butterfly the same three stages might also apply to us and we are merely in the somewhat prolonged Chrysalis stage. Gradually our body (case) is degenerating and soon we will discard it as we will have no further use for it.
I think you have well and truly misunderstood where I am coming from on this - certainly not a man, woman relationship married or not, but in a relationship. No - I am talking ‘bed hopping’ with 'anyone … and if they catch something they will pass it on.
No !
