Sex is medically quoted as being good for your health. Seniors have a minimal chance of being with a mate in their old age. If they want to participate in sex do you think porn should be supported as an asset to promote senior sexual health?
 

That is what I mean about old? Maybe they have added that. Should I be reading the fine print?
 

I think they cover drugs and accessories, if Ed is the problem, and hormones in both female and male. Your statement assumes everthings ok in the plumbing etc. other stuff.


where is Ralphy when you need him?
 
Wouldn't that constitute 'preventative medicine'? Aren't medical plans designed to deal with curing and healing? Any insurance company worth their salt would deny it based on the difference I would think.

I think the healthiest sex for any age is sex without porn. If some couples need it to get things going, that's okay I guess. Those who use porn for their sexual satisfaction completely, have a problem IMO.

I would agree with your statement halalu, after changing "supported as an asset" to "viewed as an asset".

I think for men porn is nothing but an adjunct for masturbation and I don't think, SB, you have an issue with masturbation. If you want to argue that internet porn dulls a man's erotic imagination, you may have a point.

No issues with masturbation for either of us, as we have each other. I know a lot of men live on porn, and spend hours in front of their computers in this day and age, but they would be much better off finding a mate who had their same interests and could build on a real relationship. A man in jail who views porn only, I can understand that.
 
I don't think that porn is poisoning the men's willingness to establish real relationships, but establishing a satisfying heterosexual relationship isn't all that easy for a lot of reasons. I might also point out that there are an awful lot of happily married or cohabiting couples who do not have consistently satisfying sexual relations. Also remember the OP specifically mentioned seniors. You've been watching too many erectile dysfunction TV ads if you think that more than a tiny minority of senior couples are having great sex.
 
The porn thread is about health and old age

Older people could have relationship partners that are ill, dearly departed or just not interested in sex anymore. Most older people have no mate at all. That is why I am attempting to discuss one of the options that could help someone out there enjoy sex and the health benefits that sex is supposed to provide.
Sorry, I did not mean to offend anyone.

Personally, I don't see how porn would have any useful benefit. Vicarious sex? How would that help?

WARNING following may seem like TMI.
Porn indulgence is a singularly male phenomenon. Women's attitudes towards porn focus on the degrading portrayal of woman as sex objects and the absence of any romantic element and their conclusion is negative and I understand that. Male sexuality is a whole lot different than female sexuality, with the former dominated by visual arousal followed by a physical goal oriented drive to orgasm. In the absence of a real partner you can call the solo act vicarious, but the arousal is real and the orgasm is real and the feeling of lust having been satisfied is real. And that counts for a lot

Maybe it's because they already had a relationship that they're running up their 'Net bills ... ;)
 
I am not interested in viewing porn primarily due to it's usual depiction of women, but certainly can relate to anyone's desire, male or female, to be orgasm driven regarding sex. Some women are highly visual in that regard. Perhaps this may be a cultural divide, in some areas, rather than gender specific?
