Sex is better for the over 50’s!
According to a recent US study, like fine wines and whisky, sex only gets better with time.
Lead researcher Miri Forbes, of the University of Minnesota, says more mature lovers tend to focus on quality over quantity in the bedroom, with the extra 'thought and effort' they put into sex countering a possible drop off in libido. The scientist researchers found that sex improves as we get older because we develop more 'sexual wisdom' in our later years.
The more mature sexual partners draw on their life experiences to make themselves more considerate sexual partners and just goal-oriented sex – for the sake of an orgasm becomes less of a driving force. Enjoyment and partner fulfilment become more assertive.
This means that if a 40-year-old man and 50-year-old man had sex with the same number of partners, the 50-year-old would have the better sex life!
"When we matched older and younger adults on key characteristics of their sex lives - along with socio-demographic characteristics, and mental and physical health – more mature adults actually had the better sexual quality of life".
Miri Forbes added: "Together these findings suggest that as we age, our sexual priorities change and we develop knowledge, skills and preferences that protect against aging-related declines in sexual quality of life. Since wisdom is 'the quality of having experience, knowledge and good judgment', our study suggests that life experience is fostering sexual wisdom.
Sexual preference also changes. More mature adults are more open to putting the old stereotypes of sex behind them. Males tend to be less homophobic and more open to MM play than before. “Why not?†said an interviewee ... ... “If my wife enjoys it, why not me? Doesn’t mean it changes my sexual preferences - just a more complete enjoyment. I’m not gay because I enjoy or accept another man in our partner play! It’s not Bi-sexual, rather Bi-situational.â€
A study in 2016 by the International Longevity Centre showed that for many people, a satisfying sex life does not end when they reach retirement age. One in four men over the age of 85 and one in every ten women reported good sexual activity in the past year.
Erectile dysfunction - which was reported by two-thirds of men over 65 - also appeared to pose no barrier to a healthy sex life.
"This is great news, as a satisfying sex life has been found to be important for health and well-being, regardless of age.
"For older adults, in particular, being sexually active predicts a longer and healthier life."
The benefits of sex have been well documented and the UK NHS guidelines state that it can be good for your heart and counts towards the amount of exercise you should do each week. Sex can also stave off dementia and reduce the risk of angina and ulcers.
So, it all shows that contrary to the belief of the ‘younger generation’, more mature people aren’t spending their years hunched over a bowl of porridge - they’re actually living and having fun!
Silver Couples ... ... here’s to a great 2017!!

I love to hear it. My wife and I were sexually active at 15, married with children at 17, and have lived through our 20's. 30's. 40's, and 50's together. We have never been as active, attentive, in love, or as hot for each other as we are right now. We are believers.... Here is to 2017!
We are in our early 60's and have been in the lifestyle for nearly 18 years. It's unfortunate to see the older we get the smaller the number of couples in our age range gets.
Would LOVE to get a group of couples over 50 get together sometime!

We are an older couple and for us sex is still great. It was great when were younger too! Married for 35 years and swinging for maybe 14 years? Not exactly sure when we started swinging.
Great! Not only am I gonna get all old and wrinkly, but I'm gonna turn bi too?
I am a 67 year old widower---I agree sex at my age is down right fun.
Evil,
If you can't handle looking older then just really get into the cosplay scene. If you would rather dress up like a young marmot or a storm trooper rather than represent the emerging bisexual 50 something year old man you've become so be it. But to be honest in disclosure you should post a lot of cosplay pictures on your profile.

Man, this is really bummin' me out! Storm Trooper costumes are WAY too hot to wear, especially during sex (ask me how I know), and my marmot suit is REALLY tight in the crotch (little fuckers must really be LITTLE fuckers...tiny hands I guess). But it's this whole morphing into a bi-sexual that worries me. I'm not homophobic. I have LOTS of gay friends and family members. I've just never been attracted to dicks and balls. I'm more of a boob man. I guess at least a lot of old men have fat, saggy old man boobs...so there's that. And I've heard that as you get older your senses of taste and smell drop off quite a bit so maybe I won't get nauseated by the taste and smell of smegma and Old Spice talcum powder.
Look at the bright side. With Trump as the president maybe Medicaid will cover implants and all of us old guys can all become really, really yuge!
Totally agree with the subject of the post! Thanks...

That's cute...that you think Medicaid (I think you meant Medicare) will survive the next four years. Luckily I have a stockpile of Viagra down in my fallout shelter so I'll be able to still get it up when I turn bi.

This! This just proves that guys with neck beards can be sensitive.
Fun post. And made me laugh! I am 50 and I can only hope it gets better. Mr UTSKIER is 15 years older than me and he rocks my world.
Maybe that's how come I did even as well as I did at parties even though I didn't think I'd do much of anything. Especially since I mostly just kind of hang out hoping some lovely lady initiates whatever. Too hung up on not seeming aggressive or something, I guess. Unfortunately, I'm not exactly "silver", though. Right now it's what I guess is called auburn., though that profile pic is brown and pretty awful. Actually, I guess I missed the silver bit, since by now, if the wife didn't kinda dislike silver, gray, whatever it's called, it'd actually be pure white. Actually, I kinda liked blonde. Maybe she'l l let me go back to that one of these days.

Call it as heteroflexible, Evil. Maybe it won't seem so bad that way.
