    Woah there. I agree with part of this but so much is more a “use it or lose it” situation. I’m almost 60, husband a couple years older, we still fuck every day and I get off at least once a day still. I do think it’s muted a bit, slightly less intense usually but way more multiples, so it kind of works out.

    Did gain weight at menopause that stuck - sort of gamed that by starting out underweight so I’m still not fat, but agree wholeheartedly it doesn’t fall right off like it did, part of that I think is my worry that if I lose it my bones will suffer, so I don’t want to diet. Still in good shape just smack in the middle of healthy BMI when I was aiming for the bottom of it.

    Teeth are STUPID, we should not get the final set so young.

    Everything takes so, so long to heal now.

    My mom said the worst thing about getting old was that you could not make plans. She planned to come up here to see Tab Benoit with a group of friends but by the day of the show two of them had died.

      Uh. I don’t know that that’s normal. You have my envy, though.

        My wife and I were like that at that age. We’ve wound down a bit since then, but twice a week is still much better than never.

        A tip for the guys: tes levels drop as your percent of body fat increases. Maintain muscle mass and stay lean and you probably won’t need the boner pills even when you’re old as dirt.
