Good for you!!! Fabulous!!!!

cricketmum84 · 11/07/2021 09:42

Amazing! Hope you had fun 😂

pollypocketlover · 11/07/2021 09:58

How do you feel about it OP?

AfterSchoolWorry · 11/07/2021 10:02

@BasicDad

Well done!

Hope you choose not to leave it so long next time.

Might not have been a choice!

I totally get why you're sharing it, and you give me hope. Putting my kids first after divorce and now on a very high shelf, looking down on a very unappealing dating pool.

@NoBetterthanSheShouldBe and @Starlightlady thanks! :o just can’t imagine getting to that point at the moment. I should have more time and more of a social life when I’m (even) older…

He was a mate 13 years younger than me and he's fit! Been discussing an FWB situation for a while but for some reason I kept backing out. Last night I thought bugger it and gave him a booty call! I feel empowered!

My celibacy was definitely not by choice!

it’s coming home 🤣🤣🤣

I need posts like this! Also celibate (not by choice) within a marriage and I worry.. I wonder, will it work? Is it broken? Will it ever get a damn good rogering again (it’s like contemplating the universe, that one… think too much about it and a dreadful dread rolls in)?

I’m living vicariously through you and your broken celibacy, OP! For you, a parade!

[quote StarlightLady]**@NoBetterthanSheShouldBe* and @LadyBonnibel* - I have a friend, 30 years older than me, who is just in her 70s, who is regularly getting laid by 2 different men (not at the same time) who are about 7 or so years younger. It does happen!

Sex is for the young at heart, not just the young.[/quote]

GolfEchoRomeoTangoIndia · 11/07/2021 11:21

That sounds like a good result. I imagine that after 7 years there comes a point that if there’s a willing bloke you fancy right in front of you it’s well worth the risk of “things getting weird”.

VenusTiger · 11/07/2021 12:22

Excellent! Enjoy yourself OP - you've only got one life - live it.

MotionActivatedDog · 11/07/2021 12:25

Oh. So there’s hope for me yet. Grin

Very happy for you OP!

LittleDonkeyKong · 11/07/2021 12:38

I can't stop smiling! Everyone in RL knows about my 7 year dry spell! They are so gonna guess Grin why do I feel like a naughty school girl Grin

Good for you LittleDonkey!

Alternista · 11/07/2021 12:57

Love this😁

KingdomScrolls · 11/07/2021 13:05

You told your mum!

LittleDonkeyKong · 11/07/2021 13:07

Yep! We have that sort of relationship lol

mbosnz · 11/07/2021 13:09

Good on you! I'm glad it was so good after such a dry period, lol. And I'm glad you and your Mum have that kind of a relationship.

StarlightLady · 11/07/2021 13:16

This is what good mums are all about. I remember back in my teens, mum, who was very much a feminist and quite libertine was annoyed when she first found out l was having sex, not about the fact l was having sex, but because l hadn’t told her.

BarefootHippieChick · 11/07/2021 13:16

Congrats op!!

I know someone who went 15 years after a loveless marriage and then getting divorced, when she finally got the opportunity again she said it was like being 16 again 😆

Helmetbymidnight · 11/07/2021 13:18

Oh I'm pleased for you, OP. You must feel over the moon.

(Why would she need to tell the person she had sex with that she had sex with them?)
