It turns out that the answer is, no. There aren't any new reasons. Older and wiser and know what I want. Past the social and mental hang-ups to one-night stands. No longer thinking about relationships and having children, etc. The same old reasons apply. But now, it seems, there is a new twist. It's now... trendy. So trendy in fact, that there is a whole section of the Huffpost dedicated to it. Love Post50.
Geese! I thought this trendy thing started years ago with Sex In The City. You know, another one of those TV shows that reflect real life... four beautiful women to whom sex is a hobby. The kind of thing you see everyday. Right?
Of course, it is true that women in their 50s are a much softer touch for sex. Something any astute male figured out long ago. Kinda like men figured out in the bar scene that "go ugly early" or "go for the fat girls" greatly increased your chances of getting laid. But this new trend has nothing to do with the bar scene. It's a social shift.
There's a huge retirement development in Florida called The Villages. It's well known that there is more sex going on between the golf cart and walker set than any other place in the state. My wife, who sells Medicare insurance, occasionally gives seminars at The Villages where she informs the oldsters about their insurance options. But the geezers know what they want. To hell with cancer, high blood pressure or gout, they go straight for the plan that pays for their Viagra. At one recent seminar an impromptu discussion broke out between attendees on the best way to cut the Viagra tablets so as to get the maximum mileage out of them.
The psychologists and social bloggers can study this phenomenon for its root causes all they want. I can save them a lot of time and effort. The free love generation has now gotten education, careers, families, AIDS, and stuff like that behind them and it's time for a little fun.
Sex - Drugs - Rock n Roll! Yeah baby!
Not talking about me, because my hubby and I are still going strong after 42 years of marriage, but many of my lady friends are either divorced or widowed. And lonely as hell, and desperate to feel relevant again. Unfortunately, that sometimes leads to quick hook-ups that leave them feeling crappier than they did before.
ReplyDeleteThank God in Heaven! The history for males in my family show very active and ready plumbing well into the 70's. I could make up for lost time after all.
ReplyDelete"Go straight for the plan that pays for the viagra..."
ReplyDeleteI think you've just hit on the marketing secret of 2012...anything with Viagra in the title.
Damn! I wish I'd known this a year or so ago.
ReplyDeleteThere is one problem that is not being addressed here: we older women may be quite keen on the cuddles but the drawback is the chaps who want to oblige us. They're usually far too decrepit, either scrawny shanked or fat with a beer gut, and bald/ing. Even more important for them is that they will soon be in need of a nurse and an older woman would fill that job nicely. They think.
No, on second thoughts, maybe I'll say thank you, but no thank you.

DeleteFriko... LOL Hey, that street runs both ways you know.
ReplyDeleteThe problem here is the label. Everyone wants sex, but people don't like being pigeon holed.
ReplyDeleteFunny video.
Your so hot
DeleteAIDS is not behind them! They are at risk. I've seen one study that says 11% of all new AIDS cases are in people over 50. Here's the down and dirty on all that.
ReplyDeleteAnd, what Friko said. Keep it home, kids.
Excuse me, but did you just say women over 50 are kind of like the fat, ugly girls in a bar?
ReplyDeleteOf course, it is true that women in their 50s are a much softer touch for sex. Something any astute male figured out long ago.
