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?

53 here - as often as I get the chance!

ghostyslovesheets · 05/09/2017 20:56

47 - pretty much constantly - it's such a bind

@smellyrose haha I have a thing for an older man. My DH just happens to have a sex drive as high as mine! Grin

Holidays and high days only. I'm not an animal.

We are 89 combined. Friday night fumble (but one of us me usually gets too sleepy), twice a weekend if no other commitments or otherwise Saturday night. And if we fancy it any other time.

I don't know why people are giving serious answers to this and giving their ages. Potential for this to attract the press I would have thought.

bevelino · 05/09/2017 21:20

This is not a serious thread.

Serin · 05/09/2017 21:20

OP I'm assuming you are a bloke.
Don't believe a word of what they are saying.
Any truthful person over 35 will tell you that it shrivels up and drops off at around age 33.

When the Sukebind be out.

TeacupsAndDaffodils · 05/09/2017 21:27

I'm middle age already???? Shock DEVASTATED

Ivydalegirl · 05/09/2017 21:27

Unfortunately all stopped for me at 45 when I had menopause. Many women don't have change until 50's so I assume carry on well past middle age which I consider to be 40's.

Laska5772 · 05/09/2017 21:30

I am 60 pretty soon.. So pleased to find out that I am old ... Cheers for that..

LineysRun · 05/09/2017 21:30

Just google 'orgasms over 80' & see the results!

I am 60+ and am enjoying things very much indeed with my DH of 30+ years.

Less often but just as good, if not better, than when we first met.

MrsExpo · 05/09/2017 21:59

Wow ... didn't realise we were that old!! Must remind my 70 year old DH to slow down a bit. Three times a week at his age could be dangerous!!!

Twoo · 05/09/2017 22:10

Yes you are dbu in asking.

Very nosey of you! The answers from posters will be from not at all to several times a day and everything in between. Bugger off and go and get the rabbit out to play with Grin

DorisDangleberry · 05/09/2017 22:20

I'm 86 and have had sex 7 times so far today. With 8 different people

elephantoverthehill · 05/09/2017 22:29

Obviously just the 3 times. I only have 3 DCs.

NeverNeverLand40 · 05/09/2017 22:30

😂😂😂 thanks peeps, you gave us a bit of a giggle tonight.

Sorry, it was a bit of a joke thread after a few drinks.

Glad to be of service. Hmm

user1490607838 · 05/09/2017 22:47

I wonder how many people over 45 will admit they don't do it much anymore? Grin

Or is the thread going to be full of people saying 'umm yeah we do it like 3 times a week, even though we're 50' type comments?!

You can ask OP, but you are not going to get many honest responses. People will either put jokey comments or they will exaggerate the amount of time they have sex.

By the way, IMO middle age starts at around 45. NOT 30 - 35. People have different opinions of course. But to me, 35 is still fairly young-ish.

Confused Why wouldn't you have sex three times a week at 50? No small children, still got all your own teeth, most of your own knees/hips. 50 is when I will be child free and I plan on shagging my way through the decade

PrincessWonderRabbit · 05/09/2017 23:04

I'll alert dh so he has a while to prepare.
