So we all love this lifestyle and we wouldn't be here if we didn't, but at what point do you say enough is enough?
I don't want to be the older couple that people avoid at parties and am not looking forward to responses to messages saying "Sorry but you're too old for us". I'm guessing that as you get older the ages you are looking for also change. To be honest, I don't want couples in their early 20's anymore as, at 38,they make me feel old, although it is a nice compliment. On the other hand, older people dont do it for us and I'm not sure they ever will.
We have discussed this before and said that we will stop when we're 45 but for me that is only 7 years away and I'm not sure I'll want to.
Will you stop when no one wants you anymore or when you are on top of your game? Have you even discussed it?

so ya never paid ya subs to the national union of swingers then fun? oh n if we were paid on past activities we could retire in the caribbean xxxx
We are pretty much agreed that within 6-7 years we want to be done with this. We at the moment dont want to be older swingers but who knows that may change. The sad thing is by the time we get to the age where we will be able to go out and do as we wish as the kids will be old enough then we wont want to do it anymore, bum.

Like anything in life you can plan but you don't know until you get there. I have thought about it too but we enjoy going to clubs and socials and cannot imagine leaving all our lovely friends behind.
I am 46 and do wonder how other people perceive me, should I stop dyeing my hair black, get it cut short and start to buy my clothes from M& S and Bon Marche ? Is it time to ditch the high heels and buy sensible shoes yet?. Hope not because they are so damn ugly lol.
Then again, I've seen all sorts of people , different ages shapes and sizes who are enjoying themselves and I just think fairplay to them.
So in answer to your question, no I don't know when I'll retire. when it stops being fun I guess dunno

hugs fair quote but i aint dying me hair if i go grey i go grey! xxxx

Nooooo you're gorgeous!! I know that Lee would happily entertain you for an evening .. he doesnt chase a snog off everyone you know wink
Well if you're getting older, the people you currently play with will have aged the same amount too- you might just have to adjust your swing pals demographic and join lol
We'll stop when people aren't attracted to us anymore. That's me finished, but Jewl's got a few years in her yet.
all this talk about retirement, for heavens sake we get old once we stop ourselves being young.. dont stop being young guys.

:upset::upset::upset::upset:
We are both turned 50 now,and well passed our sell by we still love the socials and the drinks nights with m8ts,i tend to focus more on making girls laugh now,rather than making them cum lol.but i think nola summed it up for it stops being fun is the time i will quit.
simple
When you stop enjoying it....stop doing it !!
until then....its game on !!!
I've always looked at life as a game. I kinda get the urge to get out whilst at the top of our game. After all, all you get to take away with you from this is good memories (and maybe a few dirty pictures lol). So if we ever have a meet when my arse doesn't go like a jackhammer, my lungs are hanging out of my nose and she looks bored then thats one meet too many!!! I was thinking that perhaps my 45th birthday should be our last hurrah!!!
Babe before you comment you'll be fast approaching 50!! :giggle:

Can you just give up? What about if you decided to and then a bit down the road you though "Really fancy doing someone else" Do you just then say "Nope, said we given up so we bloody well stick to it" or say " Bollox to it, put an ad up"
As a couple i'm not sure we could give up now unless there was a ulterior reason other than age. OK so it might take some getting used to that things are going south and, maybe, the "type" of people you may of swung with in the past aren't there as much but hey there are always sexy people out there that defy the shallowness of just having the looks and are sexy because theres just something about them that is.
Things ebb and flo but don't need to stop so why would you want to tie yourself to a definite end time.

seems not sad
Funlovers I find your latest post distinctly ageist – retirement? When I was in my twenties people over thirty were old! Ruth and I’s sex life has always been good and it has continued to improve over time to a level of intimacy and response I would never have imagined. Many of our friends have given up on sex. We continue to ‘work at it’ and allocate specific ‘us’ time in our still busy schedules - even though our children have (largely) left home. Ruth in her mid 50’s runs miles in under 9 minutes, and keeps her body toned at the gym. I cycle and am looking forward competing in a 125k sportive with our 25 year old son in June. We are all given bodies which age in a different way. Yes we are ‘slightly foxed’ and show age – but why should ‘your’ image prohibit us from being part of the swinging community? We signed up to SH last year to further explore our sexuality before age finally debars us. There are some really beautiful mature swingers on this site, and some I would not entertain half my age! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. ‘Old hag? - I think not! Age and experience will often outwit youth and enthusiasm. You have no idea how you will feel in your mid 50’s - until you get there.... or know what you will be able to accomplish! Do not pre-judge.

That's pretty much where we are now. Our profile says we're 'semi-retired' which just means we (me actually) are getting past our sell by date so removed ourselves from the shelf. But truth be told we'd never say never if the right opportunity arose. ;-)
Age is but a number. If you feel and act the same as before why not continue to do so. People who are older have experience,can be more reliable and more considerate to their partner(s). I am 63 but still active and enjoy sex and will do so until I get too tired or no-one to have fun with

Senility is a terrible affliction you know Terry, not being able to remember whether you pressed the submit key
or not... :giggle:
