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.
Hi Robert and welcome to the forum. That was quite a rant you have going on there!!
I am very sorry if you feel offended in any way by my comments. You obviously dont know me. The people who do know me personally (some of whom have posted in this thread) know that I am no more ageist than I am racist, sexist or any of the other ists.
I have met many people while swinging and have made many friends many of whom are a lot older than me. One of my greatest friends that I have made while swinging actually turned 50 last year and I met him and fucked him last week!! You know nothing about me .... and yet you are the one that is telling me not to pre-judge!!
The 'ald hag' comment was made to my husband (in jest) as he was trying to imply that when he turns 45, I will be nearly 50 when in fact there are only 20 months between us.
This thread was born from a conversation that my husband and I had. He said that he would like to stop swinging when we get to around 45, I don't think I will want to stop. I was merely asking the opinion of others and as you can see from the comments, some people have said that they will stop when reaching a certain age, some have said that they will continue with the social side and some have said that they will carry on. Just because you have chosen to swing in your 50's does not mean that others will or should do the same. Each to their own hey!!
I am very happy that you and Ruth have an active sex life, and if I don't when I am in my 50's and beyond then I will be mighty disappointed!!
.but i think nola summed it up for it stops being fun is the time i will quit.
