All those on this Forum who are supposedly getting laid 6 times a day also spend endless hours here. Disconnect? Yup.
I noticed that, too. Either C-D has a lot of lottery winners who spend their refractory periods online, or a lot of liars.

I'm going with the latter.

Who cares? If it's enough for you, then it's enough for you. You are perfectly entitled to your limited aspirations. Good luck with that on your deathbed, when you look back on your life and what you've contributed to the world.

That's when a gentleman is MOST likely to have women panting after him. My father went into assisted living when he was about 84, and the women were all over him - some little fights even broke out! He really didn't want anything to do with them, but it sure was amusing.

OMG!! My moms dad is in the same situation!!!!..the senior center ladies are always trying to go to church or bingo matches with my granddad man....my mom says they fight & argue to sit with my granddad. Honestly I dont think he likes it though. He seems to get annoyed when my mom brings it up. I dont think he likes the ladies at the senior center.

I'm new, but count me in as a poster who also believes sex to be important.
I don't think I would say that I'm addicted to sex, b/c I can go without it when need be ... but I absolutely LOVE sex.
When I'm out of town or he's out of town, I can go without sex, but when we are both home and both healthy ... I could not even imagine not having sex.
To me, it's a natural normal function ... my husband turns me on, what can I say?


I have friends who don't feel the same as I do about sex. Some do not feel sex to be all that big of a deal. I do wonder if it is a hormonal imbalance or just a part of their personality. Doesn't really matter to me, but I would think that before people get into a serious relationship, they should be on the same page sexually....

Strange. Maybe you're in a different area of the country. Most old-folks homes where I've volunteered, the women want nothing to do with the men. The men want someone to "take care of" them, whereas the women are all, "I took care of people my whole life. Done with that."

I will, thank you. From what you've said, sex is where you get your "value." My opinion is that this is a sad way of living. There are grander goals to pursue: Making the world a better place, helping others, finding fulfillment in your work, being a friend to loved ones. Finding validation of one's existence in something as transient as sex is pathetic, in the true sense of the word, in that it inspires pity.

BTW, if you don't want people's opinions on your life and lifestyle, don't post them on the Internet.

Yzette, as for the old folks, I've seen it both ways.
I've seen older people feel the way you described, but I've also seen it the other way. I guess it really depends on the person ...

as for your response about getting value from sex, you're spot on.

There are many others like you.

My best friend can easily go a decade without any thought to sex, certainly no need for it in her life. Among the people we know she is not alone in this.

My father is very abusive of females. He has been married many times. He has noted that as he gets older females out number him severely, and it seems to feed his ability to be abusive to them.
