1. What my parents think about a survey that says seniors have sex into 70s, 80s.
UPDATE: OMG. I should not have read the article after I posted that because there are about 34 more things to add to the list. Excuse me while I vomit and rub chunks from dinner into my eyes to cleanse them from reading some of those statistics and the mental images produced.
I don’t know about y’all, but I intend to be gettin’ busy well into my old age if I can.

There will come a time Wendy in many many years where you won’t think those statistics are so funny, or scary. And imagine what your kids will be thinking.

(knocks on wood)
I hope to be gettin’ my get it on on when I’m that age although….
in Wendy’s defense, even when I’m in my 70s and 80s, I would STILL not want the “TMI” on others’ sex lives in my (old) age group!!!

I completely understand that probably 1/3 of the broken hips that occur “in the shower” are probably actually the result of a little senior boom-chicka-mow-mow between two consenting elderly adults. And when I’m 80, by golly, I’ll hopefully be one of them (although my next husband is going to be at LEAST 20 years younger than I am and I’m going in for a complete plastic surgery overhaul on my 50th birthday).
But can we PLEASE not have to think about it? For example, I know that shrimp are the ugliest form of sea life known to man and there is a poop vein in them that Chinese restaurants sometimes fail to remove before serving them as seafood delite to patrons every day. But you know what? You close your eyes, stuff it in your mouth and pretend that there is a person in the back of the restaurant whose sole purpose in life is to peel, devein, and plink the heads off of those ugly sea creatures. There are just some tidbits that no one needs to know. And two of those tidbits are elderly sex and veined shrimp.

This story goes along well with the one from Florida last year that told of the growing numbers of STD’s in retirement communities. Next thing, we’re going to hear about how many grandpas end up in the ER annually with priapism…and borken hips.

“Borken” hips? Make that broken. God help us if old men start Borking their own hips.

Look on the bright side, oh you conservatives who don’t like to think about sex, much less old-people sex. When old people have sex, there’s far fewer unplanned pregnancies!

i too plan to have an active sex life well into my “golden” years. i’m now praying for at least 15-20 more years to enjoy!!!

My grandparents were heartbroken when the doctor told my Grandpa he shouldn’t have sex anymore. He was in his 70s. We didn’t have to know the details to know that they were active.
HIV is now more common among seniors because some older men have unprotected sex with prostitutes and they came of age when pregnancy was the greatest risk.

I don’t know if unprotected sex with prostitutes will be on the menu, but if I reach 80 it’s gonna be whiskey and unfiltered cigarettes for breakfast every day.

Yes, I guess you’re right… the residents at the nursing home could be having sex with the staff. That could lead to pregnancies.
The googles, they do nothing!

I don’t know if this is funnier as a typo or as an intentional misquotation.
The consolation here is that (presumably) my fiance will look just as good to me 40-50 years from now as she does now.
That being said I don’t know if right now I’d be game for an 80 year old version of her.
PS John conservatives have sex too, and enjoy it. We’re all for sex…in the confines of marriage. Conservative != prude.

Maybe. But prude does = conservative.

K2, you go right ahead and google to find more old-person / young-person sites if you like. As the old joke goes, 20 goes into 40 more times than 40 goes into 20.
Meanwhile, Wendy’s revulsion did seem a bit odd to me. By the time you have kids, you’re probably old enough to realize that people in their 30s and 40s are having sex. (Heck, maybe Wendy’s that old, who knows.) Or, by extrapolation, that they’ll want to continue to do so as they become 50, 60 or 70.
When you were 18, what did you think of those 36-year-old divorcees at the other end of the bar?
Posted by John Foust on August 23, 2007 at 1136 hrs
Well as a divorced guy of 38 I can tell you that women around my age are way more interested in sex than they are in their 20s. That’s the real secret of the Viagra craze. If the women keep getting friskier and I keep getting…well, older… then I’ll need it to keep up with them, too!
Posted by scott on August 23, 2007 at 1142 hrs
John, with your inability to comprehend a joke more than once on this site, I’m sure a lot of things seem odd to you. Seriously, are you this much of a dolt in real life or are is this just your online persona?
Posted by .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) on August 23, 2007 at 1143 hrs
I’m sorry, Wendy, I have a girlfriend and you’re married. We have to stop meeting this way.
Posted by John Foust on August 23, 2007 at 1148 hrs
John: not interested. But that goes back to eye of the beholder. I’m not sure my choice of dates would be the same if I went back to high school…both because of looks and other things. I can only assume my tastes will age similarly by the time I’m 80.
And scott, you may be on to something there (post 15, not 17…well, maybe 17 too, I wouldn’t know).

I have 6 siblings and my parents are about to celebrate their 50th Anniversary. That said, I do NOT want the visual of my parents, you know….. [shudder]
