How many over 65 still have sex?

[Mancity08]

As title says really just out of interest

how old are you and how old is your OH

Only when there is a 2 for 1 special.

Having a sex drive is part of being healthy in body and mind so I hope I never stop

Not for everyone. Sex is hugely personal and plenty of people are healthy on body and mind but don’t want to have sex

😂😂😂

45, partner 55. Twice a week on average. I've recently googled "when do men stop wanting sex." 😂 I enjoy it when we do it but if we didn't, I dont think I'd be too bothered. He seems to be wanting it more the older he gets though.

Late sixties, been together over half our lives. Sex currently every few days. Unfortunately we have various caring responsibilities for relatives across four generations, and have been interrupted by an early-morning or late-evening phone call three times in the last two months alone!

Same here 😆😆

So neither of you are over 65? Or even that close to 65

My husband is 8 years older than me and I’ve come to realise I think he was asexual. From mid thirties on I practically had to beg for sex if I wanted it. All through his fifties and until he was 65 he had trouble getting an erection, I quote the if you don’t use it you lose it! When I was 58 (now 69) he just told me after another failed attempt he would take the blue pills or get help from Doctor and try to do better , he never did, in fact I think he was relieved our sex life was over, Selfish bastard. From the way he’s rejected me over the years especially at the end i think he was glad he didnt have to bother anymore. There was no discussion, no asking me if I was happy about stopping as he simply wouldn’t talk about it nor our relationship so a couple of years later I had to accept it. I’ve never let him touch me or kiss me since, I resent him bitterley and realise i should of divorced him years ago as he was never going to change, i think he only got married to swap his mother for another younger version! Hindsight eh, now hes got bloody dementia and im caring for him. If anyone here is in a practically sexless relationship take heed and leave asap dont be a pratt like me and stick around hoping they will change, he wont, and you will end up feeling bitter and rejected. im still in my sixties and feel old and over the hill plus extremely resentful which makes me physically ill and NO man is worth that.

75 & 76 and usually every few nights . No pills . Would be every night if we didn't have other things on .

My In laws age 76 and 78 still do, don’t ask me how I know 🤮😭😭

(That’s the first and fucking last time I ever go on holiday with them).

Get yourself a lover

Not in my case. My body and mind are perfectly healthy despite having no interest in sex.

🤣🤣🤣

My uncle and his wife are still at it and they're both 80.

Me! 66 and 68

Vaginally atrophy after menopause finished it for me in my 50s. It was just too painful. After I found out what it was and got it treated, DH had some bladder investigations and was never able to get an erection again, so that was that. He's now been chemically castrated by treatment for prostate cancer, so no hope of getting anything back.

You do both know that sex doesn't have to be PIV, right?

If you're not getting fun out of sex, one or both of you isn't doing it right.

That’s such a dismissive, ignorant reply. Lots of people just aren’t interested in sex. It’s a valid response and valid choice. It doesn’t mean someone hasn’t had good sex or hasn’t had their fair share of orgasms. It doesn’t mean anyone is doing anything “wrong”. Some people enjoy running, tea, cake, coffee <insert other “enjoyable” thing> and you could have the best version of those things and it still wouldn’t be that persons thing, that’s absolutely fine.

I find it interesting it’s always those having a lot of sex that are so dismissive and negative about those who don’t want to. I think it’s great people want to have a lot of sex, good for them, but it’s also fine to not want to and it doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong.

😂

This is brilliant!! 🤣🤣

@ClovisWrites

I’ve had to ring for another bed pan. 😂

I lost interest after I got pregnant. Only managed it once after that. DH dead now and I cannot imagine meeting anyone else and having to go through the sex thing.

I'm 68 and have no interest whatsoever in having sex ever again. DH is 70. I finally gave up on sex about 19 years ago. I felt unrespected and misunderstood and basically was eventually turned right off by DH's attitude and behaviour, so sex just petered out. To be honest, I was never all that keen to begin with!

We have separate bedrooms. We're like housemates these days. We each have our own separate shelves in the fridge and our own cupboards for food storage! 😂

😂 this made me laugh. Cheers!
