Late 60s here and having lots of fun still! No blue pills required. Both fit and healthy

69 and 62
once or twice a week

I’ve tried the other one, but what’s a 62?

I hate that I know this but both my parents (divorced) are older than this and still shagging 🤢. They have six kids though so I guess it makes sense. Good for them, and I hope I’m still going at that age but it’s obviously gross because they’re my parents. I only know because I’ve overheard one and the other got a sex related injury.

Am surprised how many PP respond to a thread in which the OP offers no reason for asking.. and hasn't been back since.

Pensioners and sex at least 5 times a week seems to be a Mumsnet thing, much like the chicken stretching to at least five meals. I wonder is there a link?

Must be! My chicken makes 3-4 meals 🤣🤣

Perhaps the rampant sex reduces the appetite?

Both early 70s - once or twice a month, though he often needs Cialis. Slower than in times past and more for physical and emotional connection than swinging on the chandelier type exuberance, but still very satisfying.

What on earth is a sex related injury ? I have never heard that expression before.

Same! Intrigued! Did they go to A&E? 😂

I am 65 and I’m a year long relationship with s lovely man of 60. We don’t live together but usually have sex about twice a week other than on holiday when it’s every day (we go away a lot) (I would prefer more often but other commitments prevent more frequent meetings.)

He doesn’t use pills but always performs fantastically😂 He is a widower and although we haven’t discussed it, I think he and his late wife probably had a very sexual relationship.
Initially it was quite difficult because he is quite large and I hadn’t had sex for a year and needed practice to accommodate him, and had some UTIs, but that settles after a few weeks, luckily! I was very anxious about it at the time tho’. (previous boyfriend was very small so no accommodation issue with him 😂)

Never heard of people “ accidentally “ falling on a vacuum cleaner pipe or on a bottle, or other cylindrical object?Penises can actually fracture, people can hurt themselves and others during sex.

Gettingbysomehow · 09/05/2026 10:44

Im 64 divorced and absolutely cant be bothered with it anymore. I was never really interested in it at any age.

When you hurt yourself while having sex. There actually used to be this really trashy tv show that was on late at night called “sex sent me to the ER”

Riapia · 09/05/2026 11:16

The question should have asked “how many times do you have sex with someone else in your sixties. “
😉😁😁.

Allseeingallknowing · 08/05/2026 22:56

There was an item on the news last year about strippers performing in care homes! That’ll finish some off!

Reminds me of that old joke.

Two elderly ladies sitting on a park bench.
A naked man ran by.
One lady had a stroke. The other couldn't reach.

To which the answer would be that they’d prefer it with someone in their twenties!

OP no other posts and appears to have left the building.
Hairy hands or kids on lunch break ? 😄

RaraRachael · 09/05/2026 12:34

OH and I both 63.

Not had sex for years. It just fizzled out and neither of us has initiated anything.

No interest in ever doing it again.

OMG I have to know what the sex-related injury was and how you came to know about it.

I’m imagining stuck foreign object / allergic reaction to rubber gimp mask / dislocated shoulder from improper hog-tying technique.

Lube allergic reaction. Called my dad and he was in hospital. He was being cagey about why and I was really worried because he normally is very open. I stated getting quite upset on the phone (I was pregnant and tbh with my third I cried at the drop of a hat). I was asking if he wanted me to come and wait with him and stuff and if he needed me to bring anything. He just said “oh for fucks sake” and told me. He did try and just say allergy but at that point I was in a tiz asking to what. It’s funny now but at the time I was mortified.
