Intimacy & Older Age

[Mitch86]

I've been married for 65 years. I'm age 90 now. The only sex I get is the highs I get when I defeat opponents while playing Civilization VI. My wife gets her highs caring for our little French Bulldog and watching TV.

Too many people associate intimacy with a man having an erection and for there to be penetration.
As a man ages, the things that happen for a younger man don't happen as easily for an older man.

There is SO much more to intimacy than intercourse.
People need to be more open minded.

I've had some very intense intimacy without penetration.
Massage for example.

I would say my wife and I are intimate although she doesn't enjoy sex as much as I do but we are intimate in other ways as well. While watching tv on the couch she will sometimes reach for my hand to hold or if she is busy doing something while I'm either on the computer or watching tv I stop what I am doing to see if I can be assistance to her.

Has anybody seen or talked to Mr. Ed lately.? I haven’t seen him around in ages.

"Intimacy"...what's that?

 

[Oldeagle66]

I gave up all that soon as I retired at 55. I was also starting to lose desire for sex around that time. I turn 68 soon and actually don't miss it.

I miss it, but can't get to a point of starting over with someone new.
