The thought of your parents having sex is HORRIFYING to most kids... even to adults. Some things just ARE...[/QUOTE

...but why? :shrug: What's the horror? Everyone does it. Certainly one of the most joyous and natural things on the planet. Why would you find it "horrifying" that people you love are having a good time loving each other?

You seriously do not find the thought of your parents going at it revolting? Maybe it's because young people think THEY invented it.. and no generation before knew about it. I know my kids think I am virginal.... or rather prefer to think that way. I don't try to enlighten them.. It would embarrass all of us.

No. I see nothing "revolting" about anyone going at it. I am certainly glad that they went at it that one time! :wiggle:

I think it quite normal to shudder at the idea of one's parents having sex. I reckon my kids would find the idea of their father and I doing it thoroughly ghastly!

Unless someone's doing it on the living room floor, I fail to understand the embarrassment. We are all different, that's for sure. I prefer my own view, but I hope I didn't offend you. Openness has always been one of my faults.

When I was a child I didn't even think of it because I really didn't know anything about sex. When I was a teen I learned some things from the other kids. In fact, I think it was in the 70s they started sex-ed??

Anyway, looking back, I don't think of it as being revolting to think of my mom with my dad. I think it must have been sad in some ways because my mom was very uneducated, just the Catholic take on things anyway. Plus, back in that day and before, I'm not so sure women were even "included" except for actually having the baby.

I agree... I think the women of the previous generation were very uninformed about sex... When my mom was in her 70's she confided to me that she had never had an orgasm... but felt she MUST have at least twice.... because she had two children. Yes... it is very sad.

One size does not fit all. Widowed and alone, I can still see, hear and walk, but with difficulty in all three. I just gave up my car and have voluntarily made myself a shut in. As long as I have my PC, TV and most of all an active mind, I am very happy to just sit around.

My sons seem a bit worried that I prefer to stay in a lot, because I used to be very active. But they have no way to know how much it hurts to haul this aching body around. I do some activity every day, mostly housekeeping, but also a bit of sewing, a bit of painting, lots of writing, I do all my own shopping and take short walks nearly every evening. It's enough for me. I suffer terribly when I do much more than that.

I like my "in home" time too. I am still pretty active, but I see myself wanting to make this place as comfy as possible because as I grow older, I will need it more and more.
 
I relate to this one the most Falcon but I've learned over the years how important other parts of a relationship are and I don't feel so bad I think the sexual revolution was good in some ways maybe for women especially but also in ways it wasn't just in my opinion and there's a lot more to be said or discussed about quote on quote love life including sexual relationships or relations. Personally I find it refreshing to be able to discuss lots of things with people online may be much easier than discussing in person if you don't have anybody real close as long as we keep it clean.

I don't know if some of this offends other people but there isn't much that that doesn't offend someone you just can't get away from offending someone nowadays in some way almost anything you say can be offensive to somebody so I just avoid conversations that make me uncomfortable and I think that's really the way to go unless the moderators suggest that we take it to a group and there we can discuss things that we might want to or need to with other people

I hear you FazeFour. I have just progressed to the next stage. Still finding ways to squeeze something out of the day.
 
I am a virtual monk - I live in the virtual world, only go out into the real world to grab some things from the convenience store. Other than that, no real contact with anyone or anything except my roommate.

And I try my best to avoid her.

Like UnderRock, as long as I have an Internet connection I'm good.

An elderly couple were visiting their son and the father noticed a bottle of ****** in the medicine cabinet..He asked his son if they helped, the son said yes but they are $50 a piece!!

After the parents had left, the son found $100 on the pillow of the spare room, he called his father and told him it was only $50, the father said he knew that and the other $50 was from Mom..
