Whew, just coming off a couple of months of medical leave that eventually came down to a combination of Kidney stone, repair of a hernia up above the belly button, and some recurring diagnostics of a GI kind that people of a certain age wi…
Ron/Kathy, y'all are too much - love it!
Navigating with an older body - Earlier this year we surfaced again in the LS, in good health, more fit, and looking toward meeting other couples once again. In late summer, my 78 y.o. body came up with a combination of difficult painful,…
Joy and fulfillment, and a good nap too - We're just in off the road after weeks of friends and family times across the northeast and midwest. It crept up on us that the young part of the family would multiply and the older members would a…
These are rich, read with pleasure.
Oops, just looked. We're the same age. Sorry ((- :
Our favorites were North Sea via Scandinavia to northern Europe, and the Pacific NW, then along the Alaska coast. The long intervals were a good chance to get to meet & greet and more. Some long term friendships came about too. We rendezvo…
Thanks, we've loved our (several) cruises, all pre-covid, so it's been a while. The last several years have been too busy and budgeted. But getting back into the LS brings memories, and the same question as yours. If you find some info, co…
We're well into our 70s. Desire is strong as ever, noticing one another often just as striking as when we first did, a long ways back. Sessions are longer, enjoyable, and can be more varied than before. Having more time and older bodies ha…
We're in a contouring, arranging, enriching way this summer, landscaping around our cottage. It's rough ground, serviceable with hand tools, wheelbarrow, and patience. The excavation and foundation work last year left rough grading and gra…
OWC, well done! We're still a half finished project or two behind what you've knocked out just this year. ((- ;
Definitely our disposition also about place and friends - and the good fortune of experience, thought, health, and material circumstances that we here enjoy. 'Feels energizing by day, and again when the sun goes down.
It's fun to be near people engaged in 2s, 3s, or more... Maybe one or both of us are invited to join in, or maybe we just slip away. Either can be fine. Spontaneity is a nice part of the recipe. We've never had a couple just come by for vi…
Ah yes, the fireplace... Being at home and able to take a break to keep after the fire has been a pleasure. Year 'round, we have an eye out for oak cut down and available on the road side around the 'hood. Buck saw and axe live behind the…
Y'all can come sit our house for a bit come winter. Of course, we might be there too. ((- ; Right, since retiring... swing cruises, built a cottage, then another. Plentiful gardening and working on our older house (the one that you could s…
@trrmskss, ((- ; Pretty short list here though. Cheers
Managing our health at a certain age - watching the numbers, giving us a close go-over a few time a year, listening and tuning… is the approach taken by the the gerontologist doc of the male half of this couple. She’s half his age, readily…
Misadventure - we’ve only come back recently, profile revised, checked just couples. But that seemed too exclusive after enjoying singles in forum conversations, thoughts of threesomes past, and that our profile that doesn’t exactly let it…
@Fundamentallaw, very much the view here as well. LS adds dimension, but we're grateful for friends. BTW, our photos are pretty modest, but give a notion of our times together. 'Should be open to people posting in this and nearby threads.
We two sometimes differ surprisingly in our impressions and appreciation for what other couples think and talk about, in both the vanilla world and the LS. This has stopped a few LS friendships from developing. That can feel like a loss. A…
Reflecting on your (plural; in Miss. it's the less ambiguous "all y'all's") comments while doing landscaping grunt work this morning... For we endowed with years, the LS is doubly pleasurable. Shared sex is satisfying as ever; the company…
We two too -
A few couples we've met though the LS, who've now been our friends a long time, may drift to vanilla, at least with us, for a while, then we get together sexually again. 'Depends a lot on what's going on in everyone's life. Chemistry may b…
"No show" has happened to us a few times too - or just disappearing after meeting once or twice... It's expeditious, sure, but misses a chance to do a courtesy. If it's not a fit for play or anything else, that's OK, but the ones left hang…
Politics lately acts like vermin getting into the sweets. Sure, nations need to govern, but hey, people need to have a good time. Cheers
Can't we do both? Line from A League of Their Own (1992) Kid: "What do you say we slip in the back-seat, and you make a man out of me?" Older woman playing the team lead player. She’s driving. “What do you say I smack you around for a whil…
Can't we do both?
That (from fundamentallaw below) rounds up a lot. We're likewise here re: friendships. The pleasure and warmth beyond vanilla is special territory. That said, we've had memorable encounters where no one kept track afterward. But we're main…
Right, 'does seem odd. The group seemed a good idea, though there's opportunity here to see, be seen, and chat at least.
Fundamentallaw and Jawwge add perspective at a time when this forum is gaining subscription and interest. The purposes of forum and discussion group overlapped somewhat, with the forum being an easier reach. SLS admin possibly have their h…
@mayhem8 re: "We will be friends until we are old and senile and then we will be new friends." How about "Friends with privileges", ( a millennial, or gen X,Y,Z expression ? I can't remember.) Y'all enjoy your Sunday.
Why stay in, where social and sexual can meet and mix? We like them both, a lot. With careers, kids, and futures largely grown, there’s time, health, and healthy sexual interest to take part. ‘Glad that we’re not alone! There’s a lyric fro…
Yup, the time elasticity ought to help, one of these days. Just being here is helping realign priorities. Thanks, @fundamentallaw et al.
Suggestion - Joan Price. She's an energetic advocate, writer, speaker, correspondent for sex and - her expression - "ageless sexuality." She publishes a newsletter and a web site. "I started writing and speaking about older-age sexuality 2…
At parties, there's a point when the conversation slows and quiets. Soft words, bits of laughter, and pleasureful sounds take over. Join in - the closer the better...
Thoughts - Just post interesting tales? Decide on a new theme and post on that for a bit? Join on Zoom etc - sorta like work from home? Join up on location(s) once in a while, if any of us are not too far scattered Anyway, 'sure would be w…
We also. Thanks!
It's the miles. 'Hard just to meet for dinner to get acquainted. Video on-line, though helpful, just comes up way short of in-person, same as it does in working life. Sorry about the Debbie Downer. I need a nap.
"It's the SLS curse, triple digit geography" and " west of the Mississippi" Definitely a nod to the forbidding geography part. About west of the Mississippi, we're a half hour drive, so we can have a look across from the high ground in Vic…
It’s been something of a surprise to find that my mid 70s have brought steady gains in strength and stamina, at the gym and in everyday life. a few years back, things were going the other way. A few relatively simple (easy for me to say, s…
Hmmm, there's more going in peoples' perceptions. It's not that the lights are dim (Lord knows, my own are, too often to be worth reporting - unless humorously.) We come by hostility by long, long precedence. Same with cooperation and seek…
'Appreciate the conversation. Anybody else feel like the flooding streams of information, especially political, bring people who are responsive and responsible in other aspects to become brittle in a few? Being unmoving in what are really…
@funlyfriend, thanks! @mayhem8, right, our docs seem to view us as high milage cars that nonetheless should run ok for a good while. Still, it’s no surprise that people of a certain age tend to talk about their clinicians. Eventually, thin…
No end date in sight. After a long pause, we’re exploring again. ‘Feels good. The COVID epidemic, health issues - our own and of LS friends - and the habits of careers needed time to get better and adjust. Family doings also took time, ene…
Impressed and pleased re: Europe and Japan. Thanks. Becoming active in the LS again not many months back, we've found, to a surprising degree, that younger couples feel OK about us. Staying active, in shape, and vitally interested in life…
Zeemac, thanks. Will friend and message.
Hey Zeemac, thanks - sounds like CrossFit accomplishes a good deal more variety in exercise and pace than I am probably getting on strength days or cardio days or a mixed day. I think that we have a few CrossFits at the gym - younger women…
Strength workouts upwards of 65-75... I've learned (mostly) to head for the gym with a whole lot of possibilities in mind, warm up for 10 minutes on the elliptical or bike, and take it somewhat randomly from there. 'Might go steady on uppe…
We guys are damn fortunate to have married well, or, if single, to have a friend for LS excursions.
There’s a scene in Amelie (2001 Jean-Pierre Jeunet film) where Audrey Tautou as Amelie, who is often alone and always on her own, looks from a high up vantage as orgasms ring out in impressive variety around Paris. It's a sympathetic scene…
Oops, "screw" in the previous alluded to slang for an enjoyable sexual encounter. Sorry, it was a bit of a stretch. The intent was enjoyable coexistence at a stage of life. Cheers
Hey, Florida, screw you too, and the rest of you. Isn't that the whole point gg ? We're ready. C'mom... Thanks to SLS (Florida, reflecting your kids on the playground remark) for a recess break. Y'all carry on.
Idahocouple6969, hats off to you! Ok, not just hats. Refreshing post. Love your curves indeed.
BBW, lithe elf, javelin thrower... for us, it's chemistry, occasion, and opportunity. Variety can be gratifying. Lust, that you? Knock and come in.
"Work" got the best of us last year - OK not just last year - with eating more, sleeping less, and wedging activity in here and there. If things were going to get better, we'd best do it soon. We did. The Weight Watchers (now called WW) on…
63 couples... Point taken. Cheers
Couples whom we contact are often occupied (not unhappily) with grand kids, and/or taking care of parents. Also, our contacts (and ourselves) can be strongly involved professionally either in late career or after. NGO roles can be just as…
'Hate it when they argue. They can be a surly lot. Brushing drowns them out, but then they start flashing alerts and apps. Get a life, Siri and the rest of you. ('Guess we better also gg )
People like to help out with work and expenses. We're part of a group that has done so for years. Things can get friendly in the kitchen. If they get too friendly, there's the playroom nearby, while someone else takes over in the kitchen.…
They must be sprinkled around here and there? There's a good deal of country - suburban, and metro from Appalachicola to maybe Victoria or Corpus, all of it nice travel. You'd think...
Impressed! We've been using a two minute hour glass that's not glass or an hour. 'Guess that we could ask Siri, pending end of life of our current toothbrushes. Problem is, Siri and her kin are critical of everything, especially first thin…
Same impression here re: probable linkage with general health and bits of debris surprisingly present after a good floss & brush session. Last checkup, hygienist and dentist added a two minute guideline for brushing: get every corner and c…
'Guess that we are sprinkled around. Sigh. We're supposed to be retired, or getting that way, and have time on our hands. Oh-ya, sure. When's that start?
Oh yeah! About half way through, I began to recall how things concluded. g Right, somewhere between... Do not go gentle into that good night (thanks, Dylan Thomas. No problem.)
Greatly appreciated - though being as you describe may be because we can't remember the rules sometimes g But really, thanks for the vote.
Sure can relate about lining up busy schedules. Weren't we supposed to get less busy in our autumn years?
72 & 68 here, averaging 70, so qualified. Feeling fit and energetic. Staying active and involved really makes a difference. We ought to retire, but... one of these days. Looking in the mirror - who put our parents there? We're all charming…
A few more pictures in our private area. Happy to share if asked.
Point taken - on the photo side, we didn't have an anonymous shot together. Need to make one. We do have a couple in the private area though, if you'd like. Re: NOLA, true, but traveling to play is a preference - not to say that we wouldn'…
Another couple checking in, new to SLS, and a pretty good ways from everyone else shown. It's got to be a conspiracy or something - the geography. Anyway, looking forward to peeking and chatting a bit.
