To wonder how often older people have sex

I'm just being a bit nosey -pervey- really.

I'm currently not getting any as I'm single. But as the years are ticking by and not getting any younger, I'm just wondering how often middle aged people roughly dtd?

I'm ancient. 5 times an hour. Unless it's the weekend of course. Then we really go for it Wink

Physically 42. Enegetically 78. Mentally 17. Emotionally 28.

About twice a year.

ThymeLordIsSpartacus · 05/09/2017 20:35

Middle age is 35?! Give over.

RidingRossPoldark · 05/09/2017 20:36

FuzzyCustard, tell me it's true! 87 and a half. Several times a night. Looking forward to my 80s now...

ButchyRestingFace · 05/09/2017 20:36

I think you're classed as middle aged from 40.

Some say 40, some say 45, some say 103 AND NO SURRENDER.

In any case, your thread title doesn't ask about how often "middle aged" people are getting any, it asks about "older people".

My DGM remarried in her 70s, 10 years after DGF died. From dropped comments to women in the family, she & DH had a phenomenal time in bed Grin.

Middle aged is 30-60
Young is 0-30
Old is 60+

It just means the middle part of your life. It's not an insult.
RE sex- depends on who I'm with, hormones, work, kids. Varies a lot.

My OH'S nickname is Sir Bangsalot. I'm ancient.
You're welcome.

Press say pippa Middleton is middle aged

Samsara123 · 05/09/2017 20:42

As often as they bloody well like!

Smellyrose · 05/09/2017 20:43

This thread is so funny (I've had a couple of glasses of wine)

I was at the docs a couple of years ago and he said I was middle aged - I was 38! Mind you, he was very young... but that might be a sign of my middle agedness Grin

As to the sex - a couple of times a week for us

TheHumanSatsuma · 05/09/2017 20:44

With my husband? Or in total?

Smellyrose · 05/09/2017 20:44

@ MummysMaison Me and DH (31 & 53) every day

which of you is the 53 year old (please say it's you and your toy boy!)

Mamabear4180 · 05/09/2017 20:45

Wow I'm 37 and middle aged! You learn something new everyday.

You have sex loads. Just go buy a vibrator or something to keep you going until you're middle aged.

NeverNeverLand40 · 05/09/2017 20:46

Butchy I was replying to somebody's question regarding what age is middle age.

Yes my OP is probably badly worded. I'm meaning people from 40+ as that's where I am. I had a crap sex life with EXH so asking as well to see if our sex life of once a month was of the norm at this age, but obviously not.

You lucky lot 😳

I think people count middle aged as 45-60 but that's a bit optimistic really isn't it?

IrritatedUser1960 · 05/09/2017 20:46

Never, I'm divorced and menopausal and can't be bothered.

PickAChew · 05/09/2017 20:48

Roughly as often as I want.

Sometimes gently, too.

Timefortea99 · 05/09/2017 20:48

You do realise that people lie when responding to sex surveys?

ilovesooty · 05/09/2017 20:49

Yes you can describe your OP as badly worded if it suits.

PlasticPatty · 05/09/2017 20:49
  1. That's my age. 3 times a day and twice at night but that doesn't count because it's dark and we don't tell each other we're doing it. He's 62.
LineysRun · 05/09/2017 20:49

It's what works for the couple, really.

Crispsheets · 05/09/2017 20:50

Our combined ages are 115 and we have sex every day.
Hope that helps.

Middle aged is 30-60

At my 30th birthday party, a friend of DP's gave me a card in which he had written 'welcome to the middle 3rd of your life'. I wasn't impressed.

My 84 year old mother in law asked for advice on managing 'honeymoon bladder' that had been troubling her after a recent holiday with her 85 year old partner. What works for each couple is the best frequency.
