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

I'm 56, OH is 48 and I'm lucky if we do it 3 times a year.

Both 65 - at least once, usually twice a week. To paraphrase Toby Keith - not as good as we once were but we're as good once as we ever were!

I'm in the same situation as you it seems. No interest from hubby for years. I think I may take the advise from the poster who responded "get a lover."

64 and 65 and 2 -3 times a week usually. Unfortunately hes got sciatica and I've got a major health issue suddenly so were down to once maybe twice. Both of us hoping to increase it back up as soon as we can!!

Good for you 🤩😀

M, 63. All parts still in good working order. No partner, so bit of a waste really.

62 & he's 66, once a week usually.

Really? God don’t think I could be bothered to leave at that age even if I wanted to, although as my tolerance is massively lowering with men at 47 I fear what I might do to one by 69 if they’re still getting on my tits!! 🤣 *no pun intended

Omg so sorry, hope you find some happiness and fulfilment soon

Eee that rings a bell, when I first got with my current partner I hadn’t had sex in around a year and he’s quite well endowed. I kept gushing, it had never happened before with my other partners and was quite embarrassing. Only happened a few times then it stopped. I always wondered if it was because I hadn’t had sex for ages or if it was my body getting used to his size 🤷‍♀️
This was before chat GPT was a thing, I’m going to ask it now 🤣 it must get sick like of the ridiculous things I ask it lol.

Starting to feel like that a bit at 47, I need HRT now to be honest, hoping for my partners sake that does the trick!

This gives me hope. I was widowed at 48 too and am three years down the line. Can’t imagine ever sleeping with anyone again but I miss the closeness. Thank you x

I was involved in one of these, penis fracture, it bends and snaps and the tissue breaks it goes purple and swollen and needs emergency surgery. Took him about three months before could have sex again, catheter etc, waking up with morning wood was excruciating for him I couldn’t touch him for two weeks to avoid risk of an erection. Was very traumatic. Not funny as it sounds!

Accommodation issue, omg screaming 😁😁😁😁👌👍👍👍👍👍

Ummm...totally different things. One is sex, sexual intercourse, you know, throwing one up. The full package. I'm pretty certain OP wasn't talking about arthritic wanking or toothless gobbling. It's really not that appealing to hear or see someone scoff a collapsing kebab or wilted stick of celery with slobbery gums...😁

😳

This made me feel so sad for you. Have you considered going onto an online dating site, and getting yourself a new partner? You could continue caring for your husband (more than he deserves!), but find a new love.

If he’s got dementia tell him he’s a sex God and he insists on doing it twice a day.

That sounds pretty sad to me but each to their own.

Well yes, I guess it is a bit sad. But it's a very minor part of my life. There are other things about it that are a bit sadder, to be honest, like no longer being able to go abroad on holiday together because DH no longer wants to go, or no longer being able to take long walks in the countryside together because DH has back problems and can't walk very far any more. Declining health is sad.

But this is the only life I have, so I try to make the best of it and extract from it what enjoyment I can. I'm doing OK. I'm fit and well, and I'm grateful for that.

@CantBeBotheredWithItI'm in a similar situation to you. Haven't had sex for years but had little interest in my younger days, so no loss.

I also can't do walks as OH has problems with his feet that nobody seem to be able to solve.
Looks like we might not get a summer holiday abroad because of this either.

I feel like my life is passing me by 😪

I've had similar feelings. I know, even if my good health holds up, I only have about 10 to 15 years of healthy lifespan left.

I've started doing more things on my own. I go to theatre on my own. I go for walks by myself. When I'm out walking I see many other people walking alone, so it's not unusual.

I find joy in the small things of life, the everyday stuff that can sometimes go unnoticed. The sound of the rain and the wind; the warmth of the sunshine in the garden; the sounds of children playing; singing in a choir; reading an engrossing book, that sort of thing. All part of the pleasures of life. 😊

58 and if I never had sex again I’d be happy. Unfortunately dh wouldn’t..

@lightreceiver sorry for your loss. 3 years in I was still struggling. Got to 6 years so 54 and thought "I don't want to be alone anymore"
Met my now husband on tinder after a few dubious encounters!

you think that, do you ?
