In the USA we have plenty opepole who would consider this ( sex for seniors) very bad.The same ones who pray for us too much.The Catholic Church would have a field day with this and they need to be the last ones to say anything abour sex.I am a recovering Catholic.
I am perhaps a "reformed" catholic, not recovering. I refuse to be tied to them by being in "recovery," which suggests to me a rebellion of sorts against an enslavement to addiction or compulsion to abide. I will not embrace that which intrinsically denies the validity of my existence, and decline to reference my life by continually recovering from their bigotry and unthinking abuse. I have instead become a Druid (reformed) - I do shrubs and bushes (small "b"), not trees. Thank you.

You need to teach a class because I need to be reformed. Just when I think I am out they try to drag me back in.
When do you officially hit geezerhood? I'm 64 and still want to bang everything in sight. (It's been suggested the I need to ratchet down my HRT.) If someone calls me a dirty old man I reply, "Don't be insulting. I am not simply a dirty old man, I am a Great Dirty Old Man!"
I find no end of amusement with the misconceptions that "younger" people have about sex past 50.
After my mother died at 81, my father, then 84, only waited about 3 months before taking up with some younger women (in their 60s and 70s). My younger siblings were scandalized. My reaction was, how much time do you expect him to wait? He doesn't have forever! Shortly thereafter my twenty something niece was similarly scandalized when overhearing my mid 80's father and his 80 year old brother-in-law discussing the merits of Viagra verses Cialis.
I have had several people tell me that they now are sure to call first before visiting their elderly mother in an assisted living retirement community. They all had the experience of arriving unannounced and walking in on their mother, en flagrante, with another resident. With the ratio of women to men in retirement communities, any functioning male is cock-of-the walk. Remember old women need sex too.
I remember a gerontologist being interviewed on television being asked why elderly people don't have sex. He replied that most of them do unless one or more of three things get in the way. Those are fatigue, ill health, or lack of an available partner. Which, he said, are the same three reasons anyone past puberty does not have sex.
P.S. Yoli, I doubt that there are many men reading this forum that haven't fallen in love with you.

"The Righteous?" OMG, Kristoff is Muar'Dib *
* reference to any fanatical lovers of the first Dune movie.
Fanatical lover of Dune here. I actually have both Dune movies and the 5 hour complete Dune. Plus I have read all the books written by Frank Herbert and one by his son. His son is still writing but I have not read any more by him.
Oh and do not get me started on J. R. R. Tolkein and the Lord of the Rings.
