Why is it a question? Periodically, I will respond to a question in the Sexuality category and some young person will respond and ask why I am commenting because old people "obviously" aren't sexually active and I must be an old pervert. Actually, I am 66 years old and still going strong. My libido is undiminished and my girlfriend and I enjoy a very satisfying physical relationship.

  • I strongly believe that sex for older adults is just as common, and just as satisfying, as it is for younger adults. I know several people around me, my neighbors and relatives near or above 70 years are active, and enjoy fulfilling sex lives. One advantage they have is – they need not to use condoms or pills, they can just enjoy natural without any fear of getting pregnant. They enjoy it peacefully, not like a 100 meter race, their lovemaking last longer. Older adults are having more sex than we think, at least once a week and they are “very happy.” They have positive attitude toward sexuality, and they are having a very happy relationship with their partner and family and friends. Because of much disciplined lifestyle, they are physically and mentally healthy. Some people are sexually less active only if their partner is suffering from joint pain, or if they have diabetes, coronary heart disease, or depression. Because of online shopping and other facilities, they have access to a number of medications to treat their fatigue and erectile problems. Now the expectations of older adults are different from what they had few years back. Sex is a powerful emotional experience and a great tool for protecting or improving health and that is why it is certainly not only for the young. The need for intimacy is ageless. As an older adult, they are wiser than they were in their earlier years, and know what works best for them when it comes to their sex life. Older people often have a great deal more self-confidence and self-awareness, and feel released from the unrealistic ideals of youth and prejudices. And with children grown and work less demanding, they are better able to relax and enjoy one another without the old distractions. They can do to compensate for the normal changes that come with aging and enjoy an exciting time to explore both the emotional and sensual aspects of sexuality. Personal relationships – 30 to 40 years of married life is of greater significance, and sex is an important way of connecting. They know that a good sex life can add years to their life. They reap the benefits of experience. A positive attitude and open mind can go a long way toward improving your sex life as you age. They are honest in expressing their feelings because of trust on their partner and ultimately they have nothing to hide or lose. Few years back sex was a taboo subject, now they can talk openly about their needs, desires, and concerns with their partner. This social change brings them closer—and helps them to enjoy sex and intimacy. T V and social media is also playing major role in it.

  • Omg, my grandparents still have sex! My great grandparents still had sex when they were alive! 😂🤣😂
    "not dignified" sex isn't a "dignified" act.
    "not right" what's not right about having sex, feeling pleasure & giving another person pleasure?
    "not good for health" unless a doctor says this, there are health benefits to having sex, especially when you're older.
    "i dont want to think about it, so they shouldn't have sex" no one wants to think about other people, especially different generations, having sex, but IT HAPPENS, just don't think about it if it doesn't concern you.
    Grown adults have every right to do what they will & honestly older persons have more right to have sex than anyone else, especially since they cannot get pregnant (so long as the older male isn't with a woman in her fertile years). I hope everyone who said that old people shouldn't have sex remember this & follow through with this belief when they're old.

  • OKAY, HERE WE GO, FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH.

    We are Seniors, been married 47 years. Yes our hair is turning White, but the Fire is not Out.

    Yes we still enjoy Sex when the time is right. We went for many years when we were younger with less Sex... just didn't seem to have the drive. Then finally got the nerve to ask my Dr for assistance. Found I had extremely low Testosterone levels for many years. Now the Sex drive is up and again we are enjoying a Sexual Life.

    Although I have had ED problems for several years and no longer can enjoy ejaculation due to a couple surgeries, I can and do reach great orgasms. I love sucking on my wife's "B" cup Breasts, and playing either pussy, fingering her and getting her extremely wet and excited, as she is also rubbing and playing with my penis.

    We are not all shriveled up with wrinkles. Although I sometimes have a hard time finding my penis. LOL

    I still enjoy a great blowjob. We both keep our areas clean shaven. I love to go down between her legs and give her a great oral sexual experience. Smothering my face in her pussy and sucking her juices as she reaches her orgasm.

    To be truthful, we have had more and better sex in the past couple of years, than our entire 47 years.

    And we hope to enjoy several more years of sex, before we are put out to pasture... even though I will be getting penis injections to try to maintain erections due to ED problems.

    NOW YOU CAN COMMENT ALL YOU WANT.

    • Hell fucking yeah is all I have to say. Get it, you two!

  • I don't think about it because it sounds gross, which is related to how out of shape most people are. But depends upon what "old" is. When I was younger, I'd think 55 is old. I don't feel old, so it may be a mental thing. As far as I know, sex is the most athletic exercise many people will get, so proably good for them. good for complexion as well.

    I wonder if this is all related to how people don't have 6-9 kids like they used to. Without kids, the reproductive engine keeps going in hopes, whether reality or not. What do other animals do... do they keep mating into senior years? don't think so.

  • My choices didn’t fit what I believe. Sex is an act of love, of course they should keep banging away! They are still in love, aren’t they? I mean, if they’re not than they should separate. LoL.

  • My motto is "use it till you lose it'..

    • WHOO!.. 🤘🤘

    • @Nik1hil lolol

    • I really wanted to ask you a question? I would prefer in DM!.. 🙄👉👈

  • I don’t even want to look at the poll results have anything other then G is obnoxious for me to deal with atm.

  • People have been known to have heart attacks and dying during sex, but what a way to go! By the way, the old coot is not having sex. He was merely saying "Granny, take out your teeth so I can suck on your gums!" since he couldn't physically get down to suck on anything else.

    Don't worry sonny, I can't stand up either!

  • Hell fucking no! Have sex and enjoy it as long as you can! Have your nursing home relationships!

    • I have heard that the instances of STDs in nursing homes is ridiculous.

    • I have too! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

    • I also heard if a nursing home becomes aware of a couple they will make sure at least one of them has a single room so they have a place to be. 🥰

  • Stupid question, of course they (we) should have sex if we want to have sex. You don't age out of sex, you just get better at it.

    • If there is ANY doubt on this question: I am 100% in favor of having sex. . . every night. Excuse me, but my girlfriend is summoning me! :) :) :)

    • Well it seems that stamina declines

    • @moviedude714 Not me.

  • why the heck should anyone tell you when you should stop having sex? wtf

    • IN reference to you update.. most young people are idiots. The end. :)

  • Love and sex must have no age.

  • My personal issue is that when, if I live that long, I look like a full sized scrotum, I will prefer to just stay in the woods until the wild animals haul me off. However, to each his own, if you are going strong, I am happy for you.

    • I'll check back with you in about 20 years and see how you feel about this issue.

  • Considering sex is good for the heart, and dying of age really tends to just mean dying of a heart attack.. I actually almost would want to say you should have sex even more after 60 😂😂

    Genuinely though, why should age stop you when you and your partner haven't lost your drive yet?

  • My grandparents did it until they were well into their 80's.

  • I voted G. In my opinion, it would only be undignified if they were having sex in public. But I'd still say it was undignified if anyone (regardless of age) was having sex in public.

  • Who comes up with stupid questions like this.
    When you young un's are older, you will feel just as we do, horny and hoping to get some soon.

  • Of course not! Sex after 60 is a serious offence and should be illegal.

    ... yeah right. Do whatever you want. I don't even know why this is a question.

  • Sex forever. Well until you are so old that you're breaking a hip from it in that case no no sex.

    • They dont need to use the hips though

  • Old people should fuck young people group sex hahaha. I mean life is almost over u wouldn't mind gangbang of young people

    • Does that happen where you live?

    • No but that's what I want 🤠

    • That's hot as fuck!🤪

  • Why stop? Enjoy yourselves how you see fit. I have 0 issues with older people going at it. They’re still human beings with needs and urges.

    • Got no intentions of stopping or even slowing down!

    • Good man!

  • Naw, they can do what they do no matter their age.
    Someone willing to do the do with them why not

    • To update. We see our parents and interactions. So they like never show anything sexual infront of us, so when we see older couples we assume they are like our parents. It becomes a surprise to see old people talk or think about sex.

    • Like a little kid being surprised when they see their second grade teacher in the grocery store.

    • Naw more like you see people of a certain age a certain way, and when they do something you don't recognize it's like huh, who knew. Like if my parents were to see me being grown it would throw them, like damn, forgot she ain't my 5yr old daughter anymore. I'm sure people my age seem like a child to people your age, same kinda thing.
