Dating and Sex in Your 50's and 60's

I'm in my late 50's t early 60's and I enjoy sex. Well, let me put it this way, it's been awhile but if I ever do it again I'm sure I'll enjoy it. I know, I know, man my age saying he enjoys sex this freaks some of you younger people out. That's gotta be like the first time you realized what it was that your parents had to have been doing in order to end up with you. Don't get too upset though because you have only two options. Whether you too will get to this age and freak out the people younger than you, or you won't and, well, you won't have to worry about it.

Now, I do worry about sex. No, no, not the normal stuff. Disease? Hell, I have more to worry about from high blood pressure and high cholesterol than disease. The thing I worry about the most will just elude you younger folks until you get to my age. You see, when you're younger and are getting it on with a partner you may worry about her squealing like a chipmunk or the girl they called Lassie in the customary Porky's movie. If you're a girl in a motel you may have to worry about the guy getting into a rhythm and banging the headboard of the bed into the wall causing the neighbors in the next room to pound on the wall. At my age you worry about wrinkles. You categorically don't care about what the wrinkles look like. By the time you get to my age everything has shifted so much you're a walking example of tectonic plate migration. No, you worry about wrinkles because, more than likely your partner will be covered with them too. Then, you don't care if she sounds like Lassie or he knocks the headboard against the wall, because as soon as you start in, both of you rubbing your wrinkles together will sound like man walking down the street in a new pair of corduroys. That's gotta be a mood killer right off the bat. That's why I worry about wrinkles.

Dating in your 50's and 60's is surely not like dating in your 20's. Think about it. In your 20's you are involved with what bands the other man likes, what theme parks they like going to, even what movies are their favorites. In your 50's you have to wonder Whether the other man still has all their own body parts and, if not, how do you ask which one's are missing or have been substituted without looking out in an awkward intimate moment. I mean, when you were younger and you woke up next to man you brought home the night before you might be shocked to find out the snored, drooled or were, egad, ugly! When you're my age you wake up next to man who probably does snore, surely drools, is ugly and has taken her teeth out and set them on the nightstand!

Another shocker most young people don't know is that when you get older your hair starts falling out. Both men and women suffer this problem. No, I'm not talking about the hair on your head, every person is aware of that. I mean, elsewhere. Fantasize looking at a naked man or woman, no teeth, slumping in places you didn't even know could slump when you were 20 and wholly bald. Practically wants to make you die young doesn't it?

Having survived to this point and learning all I know now only one other thing really, categorically scares me. When I was 20 I didn't perceive that was as good as it got. When I was 30 things were worse but not that much worse. When I was 40 things were surely worse but bearable. When I was 50 things were a whole lot worse and I started ignoring some of the things I took for granted in my 20's, like teeth. I know now that it's only downhill from here and it's gets worse faster every year. Fortunately I have a great sense of humor and I'm looking forward to laughing at myself the entire journey. Kinda like watching a categorically bad movie that's so bad it's funny. That's sex in your old age.
