I've been retired for 5.5 years and have no partner as of yet ; however, being plagued with constant pain from old military injuries and secondary conditions makes it hard to even approach women my age 😕! That doesn't mean I no longer think about Sex; I'm focused more on pain management right now! Tried visiting a senior citizen community center, and all they want to discuss is politics; politics; I'm looking to meet and engage socially with folks my own age !

    I’m 63 and fortunate to be very active sexually, mentally, and in every area including fitness, heavy lifting/weight training and protein-focused nutrition. I’ve also used hormone replacement for 7 years and my hormones will be pried from my cold, dead hands 😉. Somehow, this year, I found a partner who is as active as I am and that is a miracle in my opinion. I plan to retire in 4 to 6 months and I am excited about having time freedom and leaving my very stressful job. I do have autoimmune conditions, but they are all in remission except 1 that is medically treated. This is a great discussion and thank you for it. I just subscribed.

    I recently saw a great idea from another KZread video on "scheduling" sex. Instead of going out, having a few drinks, eating dinner, doing whatever activity afterwards, then coming home and being too tired to have sex....switch it up and have sex FIRST...then go out and have fun. This way, you have the dessert first, while your energy levels are best.

    The topic that I never see broached is that women are social creatures who tend to share more than appropriate with ther female freinds. Yes I am probably tainted because of bad experienes, but seriously, I thiink that a large amount of women share intimate conversations with thier female friends, most men are aware of this, and most men are reserved on opening up because of this.
