I wish it were more important than it seems to be these days. And I'm not all that old yet . . . . . . . .:(:(

I'm a guy. Judging by the frequency of orgasms, my teenage years were the best. Then judging by the intensity, ages 20-32. Then being thankful-33-65. Then a lot of work for not much 65+.

Cool. Glad for you. :)
 
Sex between two loving people is the most wonderful loving experience any two people can experience their life. Yes, even at an "older" age.
 
I have been divorced for 50 years and I am 79 years old. Now I have had the company of some men since then, but since the 21st century sex has not been much of a part of my life and I am fine with that.
 
I subscribe to several magazines for fishing and cars and trucks. I haven't opened a Playboy in so long I don't recall. As a life long, very active bachelor I have seen it all and done it all in many countries and states so I have many other interests. Zero interst in women.

Same here Babs:eek:
 
Reminds me of that story about the 86-year-old man who was having his annual checkup.
He bragged to the doctor: "Hey, doc. I've got an 18-year-old bride who's pregnant with my child. How 'bout that?"

The doctor thought for a moment & said, Let me tell you a story. I knew a guy who was a skilled hunter but one day he left home in a hurry & accidentally picked up his umbrella instead of his rifle. Later that day, he came face-to-face with a huge Grizzly Bear. He raised his umbrella, pointed it at the bear & squeezed the handle. The bear immediately fell to the ground & died.

"That's impossible," said the old man. "Someone else must have shot that bear."

"That's kind of what I'm getting at," said the doctor.
 
I really, really enjoyed sex but after my last "liaison", I decided the cost of sex was higher than it was worth - to me anyway. I miss it but I don't miss the hassle that seems to go with it.
 
At my age I would much rather be near someone I loved for companionship than sex. Just sharing waking hours, laughing, talking, just sharing in general is better than sex. I have had plenty of time to think about this and it's no contest between sex and being with a lifelong loving mate. Just holding my departed wife's hand gave me a contentment much better than sex.

You are exactly right, in my opinion. If it was just a question of having another person to love as opposed to a person as a sex partner, then I absolutely wold pick having the love of a lifelong mate.
However, when you add love into the equation, then I think that having sex with that person is incredibly awesome !
 
I've been very sexual throughout my life. My father made sure I was sexually awakened at a the age of 4. He was afraid I'd turn out gay. He had a deep hatred of homosexuals. All of that sex got me nowhere and thinking about sex made me a horrible person. I am so glad that mindset is gone. I feel contact differently now. Hugs fill me with joy.
