Sex after 40.

[PSU84]

Sometimes I kind of miss the permanent erection that lasted from 13 to about 33.

On the other hand, maybe nature is trying to tell me something. Now that I only think about sex 70%-75% of the time instead of 99% of the time, maybe I am supposed to put my brain to some more productive use for the other 25%? Trouble is, the other 25% is mostly used up thinking about buying stuff and other non-productive activities.

What's a 42-year old (in reasonably good shape and very available) to do?

[Placebo]

1. Penis.

Erection.
Vagina.
Engorged.
Long.
Stiff.
Dripping.
Firm.
Slippery.
Hot.
Oozing.
Ramming.
Spurt.
Steamy.
Creamy.
Gooey.
Explode.
Spurt.

[PSU84]

3. Very, uh......poetic. Sort of. n/t

[Maestro]

4. uh oh

[Maestro]

2. Shizzle my fizzle

I nearing that age. It better still be good. Well, maybe if you thought about more, that good old full mast would stay longer.



Take your correct exit.

[PSU84]

5. Oh, it'sstill good.

Especially after a few daye w/o it. I just don't crave it as often......It's like, one day you wake up, and you realize, "It's been DAYS since I just HAD TO HAVE IT." Nothing quite prepares you for that.

[Rowdyboy]

6. It really was nice, wasn't it? 13-33 was a great time of life

If you think 42 is tough, wait for 50. I now think of sex less than 66% of the time. Old age is HELL, and I feel like a virtual eunuch!

[PSU84]

10. Less than 66% of the time!!!

Imagine that, everyone! The day may be coming when sex is on your mind LESS THAN 2/3 of the time! I can't believe that this is not the subject of a multi-million dollar government-financed clinical study!
I dont' even want to contemplate the day when up to one-third of my conscious thoughts have NOTHING TO DO WITH SEX!

Jeezus F-----G Christ! is that what getting old is like???

Oh, for the days when the sound of the woman's voice saying "The correct time is 3:45 PM" sent me to the shower.....!

[Rowdyboy]

17. You cannot imagine the indignities that YOUR body will inflict upon

you as you age....Its sickening. I dare not tell you the truth, lest you commit suicide! I hesitate even to hint at reality!

Just know that 5 or 6 times a day is NOT that common after 40.

[PSU84]

18. Dr. Seuss wrote a book about it.

It's called "You're Only Old Once."

It's best to have a sense of humor about aging. And take advantage of all available opportunities.....

[BiggJawn]

25. 5 or 6 times a YEAR ain't all that common, either....

Aftr 40......

Who was it that said "Old Age ain't for Sissies"?

[Rowdyboy]

36. Art Linkletter

I bought that book for my grandmother

[BiggJawn]

42. The older I get, the truer it is...

And it ain't just in the Eros department, either...

Some days, I sound like a damn bag of Nuke popcorn when I'm walking, from all the pops and clicks...Thank Random Chance I can still pedal!

I thought that was a book title. Linkletter? No shit?

BTW, didja know Jack LaLane turned 90 this week?

[Rowdyboy]

47. Here ya go with a link on Amazon

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0451822048/qid=1096864243/sr=1-2/ref=sr_1_2/002-1987697-9774418?v=glance&s=books#product-details

The title is "Old Age is Not for Sissies"...

Do you know the bizarre story about Linkletter and his daughter?

I did not realize Jack LaLane turned 90. Damn! He was old when I was young. This is NOT good news!

BTW..."Eros" is the least of my worries too, though it still can make me crazy...

[chaska]

7. I'm 47 in a week and a half...

I haven't noticed any change at all. Just call me Eveready ... who, alas and alack, will be alone on his birthday.

Sex aside for the moment, oh how I miss just having someone to hold at night.

[Maple]

8. Oh puleeze

all this crap about how life and sex are over at 40.

What are you going to do at 80 fer gawds sake?

Healthy people....ANY age...have sex and enjoy it.

Do stop making excuses.

[Placebo]

9. 80 year olds should NOT BE ABLE TO HAVE SEX.

i'd make it illegal if I were president, i tell ya what.

[Maple]

13. Heh heh

well ya know how far that rule would get doncha?

[Placebo]

14. I would get 99% of the 18-30 year old vote!

that would take me pretty far :)

[tigereye]

41. yes of course the younger ones never be that age

and still be sexual.... :eyes:

[BiggJawn]

29. Guess I ain't healthy, then...

And women turn into fuck-monsters after Menopause hits...

Any more lame-assed truisms you wanna lay on us?

[Big Kahuna]

11. It is my experience,

as a mere 35 yr old whippersnapper, that as we age, we learn to use our bodies more efficiently and wisely. My wife and I are not exceptionally fit, yet we did a 10 mile hike, barely breaking a sweat that would have nearly killed us in our 20's (when we were more fit-looking I guess) The same is true with sex. With increased responsibilities, children, we rarely find the time.. but when we do, it is absolutely earth shattering.

[blackcat77]

12. I'm 52

And sex is better today than it was when I was 18. Allow me to explain:

When you're starving to death (which is what the sex drive is like when you're 18) then you'll eat ANYTHING to fulfill the craving. And believe me, I had sex with women that five minutes after I was done, all I could think about was WHAT IN THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING?? One of them got pregnant -- whether by me or not, no one will ever know -- and I paid for her brat for 18 years. If I'd have been thinking even halfway straight, I never would have had anything to do with her.

Now, you have sex because you WANT to, not because you HAVE to. And you take your time about it and worry more about style points than the Big Finish.

And, BTW, I fully intend to still be having sex when I'm 80 and beyond.

[PSU84]

15. I agree.

But, like I said, I kind of miss that irresistible 24/7 urge. Call me crazy.

[VOX]

22. Isn't this the truth,blackcat77? Also, your mature brain is fully engaged

in **giving** pleasure as much as receiving it, which is nice for all.

I hit the double nickel (55) this year and my drive hasn't flagged one whit.

In fact, the experience is better now, and more thoroughly enjoyable, than ever before. (Not sure if we should spill that secret to the young 'uns...:))

:toast:

16. I'm 37. Since I've been working out, I've been amazed ...

... at how my libido has come roaring back. I now have better, stronger erections than I did when I was 30. I can only imagine what would happen if I got my hands on a dose of Viagra. :evilgrin:

[RebelYell]

19. No, age doesn't matter, or frequency

It's how long you last that matters. Truly.

[stupid grin]

20. ooh score! A sex thread, just what I've been looking for...

I've heard tales of the sexcapades at DU. *sigh* at 13 weeks pregnant, sex is all I can think about. The blood that used to supply rational thought to my brain and the ability to not bump into things has traveled south. I could eat, sleep and breath my husband's pants. He's in the corner playing Doom 3, but I'd like to toss this laptop on the floor and take him down. I think I'll show restraint and let the poor kid recoup.

I think a daily injection of the hormones I presently ooze would help your buddy dance again.

[VOX]

23. Careful, MKG, you'll get us all in a lather.

It's happened before, and that's when the thread-shutting-down begins!

Welcome to DU, and congrats for being a prospective mom!

:toast: (On second thought, don't drink that, not in your "condition!" :))

[stupid grin]

39. oh my!

Thank you and thank you! :)

Yup, I'll get you all in soapy lather with my incessant gas, horrible heartburn and frizzy hair. Have you any idea how frizzy a pregnant woman's hair gets? I honestly look like I stuck the butter knife in the toaster along with my bagel. Oh, and my feet look really sexy with these sausages that I once called toes. Kidding ;), I love being pregnant, and I'm just going to revel in all the cool things that are happening.

[RebelYell]

24. That's nothing

Just wait until you hit your prime. :)

[Zomby Woof]

26. he is choosing Doom 3 over you???

Holy hell! No offense, but I would be tossing that game out the window right about now...

[stupid grin]

32. Um, I think he's too chafed.

LOL, no seriously, the poor boy has been harassed by me enough for one day. ;)

[Zomby Woof]

34. LOL!

Well, ok... ;-)

[PSU84]

27. It's a good thing that

you can't receive PMs yet! (not enough posts!)

Your hubby must be a happy man right now - for LOTS of reasons!

[GingerSnaps]

37. People that have to brag about it might not be getting any

:evilgrin:

[rumguy]

28. I've always thought that being pregnant would diminish a woman's

sex drive...

after all - you're already pregnant - ya know? thinking purely from an evolutionary pov.... but I guess it would also keep your mate around... that would be a plus...

[fortyfeetunder]

30. Sex during pregnancy is OK

but it's that last month with the "prostaglandin loading" that could initiate an earlier labor....LOL

[stupid grin]

31. I do believe that's what makes us the most highly evolved creature!

We have sex simply for pleasure. :)

[stupid grin]

21. *burp* duplicate

[fortyfeetunder]

33. The only thing I can say

is keep doing it.

I had a grandfather who was said to be a real tiger in his 80's. The story goes he was barely dragging himself to his lady friend's house, limping and assisted with a cane. When he came out of the lady friend's house, he was bouncing back to his house swinging the cane 'round his hand. Dayum, it must have been some good stuff....

[Kat45]

35. I'm a 49-yr-old woman and I think about sex close to 24/7

Does this mean I can only get involved with (much) younger guys?

[RebelYell]

38. Depends

Do you want quantity or quality? I'll take quality any day. I'm 48.

[tigereye]

43. I have found that libido seems to increase after 40

kind of a surprise, but cool. And you know more about what you are doing.

[UpsideDownFlag]

40. speaking as a college student...the permanent erection gets old.

but comes in very handy.

[yvr girl]

44. Explain this sex on the brain thing to me

How do you funtion in life if you think about sex 99% or even 75% of the time? I don't deny it. I just don't get it. They say that men can't multitask, but clearly you can. I can't really do anything else when I'm thinking about sex.

So how does it play out in your day? How do you get any work done?

[PSU84]

45. Great question.

And the answer is - i don't have any fucking idea.

I just know that if you're hot then than all I think about is f-----g you. Every other thought has got work its way around that.

And if you're not hot, then - even when I am talking to you - I am thinking about someone who is.

All day every day, it's all about sex.

Only, after some point - maybe 40 - sometimes it's about a cooler car - but that's mostly just a way to get sex too.

p.s. I love Vancouver. And Canadian girls. Right now I am thinkinh=g about Sarah McLachlan and .

[yvr girl]

46. Still, it can't be an all consuming thing

Most men I know still manage to string words into sentences. And they manage to do it without saying anything completely inappropriate. If I'm thinking about sex, I'm not going to be able to carry on a conversation about current events.

[PSU84]

48. Well, I suppose we have evolved the ability

to talk to you without blurting out that we want ot get into your panties.

Nature has given us that capacity - as a way of getting into your panties. (and even then, most of us fail most of the time).

Szilvia Lauren....

[yvr girl]

49. You're assuming that we're wearing panties

which is not always true.

[PSU84]

50. You're just saying these things

to drive me crazy.

And it's working.

[yvr girl]

51. Who me? I'm just a nice Canadian girl who thinks

that there are ways to use chocolate sauce that don't involve any calories.
