It’s not that I have something against them, in fact, I have lots of friends who belong to this group however, I tend to target the general older adult public when writing a post so I seldom write about gay/lesbian groups. If I am not mistaken, this would be my first time. So why now? I just had a chat with my longtime lesbian friend and I found out that [...]

One of the usual concerns of an aging man is sex, that is, his sexual drive and his ability to perform with a partner. As men age, their testosterone levels begin to decline, to a point where symptoms begin to gradually show until it ultimately causes problem to the person. I remember I already talked about male menopause or what’s medically-termed as andropause. In that post, I have discussed about [...]

Just so we are seniors doesn’t mean we will not be alarmed when our partners suddenly lose interest on us or just fall asleep the minute their backs hit the bed. Or let’s, for a minute, reverse the situation and suddenly find ourselves too tired to cuddle and just guiltily climb into bed without further ado. If there’s something we can do about it then why not, who in his [...]

Is the word “cougar” new to you? Or are you still referring to the slender and agile cats roaming our mountains, always on the look out for a prey, gullible enough to fall into a cougar’s trap? Well, you must be living under a rock for quite sometime now since cougar dating must be the hottest, most liberating hype that hit the senior women’s generation! The idea of “Older-women-dating-younger-studs” has [...]

Although it’s quite hard to imagine a senior getting on with it, sex is still part of our lives and there’s no stopping it, come sickness and impotence! Let’s face it, it does not, in any way, dwindle as we age. Granted, there were days when sex is not as important as breathing. Who keeps an everyday-kind-of-sexual-appetite anyway? But, time and again, seniors feel the urge to do it, no [...]

Many longtime partners will agree, somewhere along the line, the so-called “flame” will start to flicker and for some unfortunate couples, it eventually dies down without them even knowing it. This is usually the case with seniors who will suddenly go for a divorce, shocking everyone around them, even their already grown kids. Try as they might, they won’t find the right reasons to separate since there is none to [...]

In my early teens, cheating would mean “the end” of my fairytale romance. It was even considered as a sin amongst my peers and a person who cheated should be rightfully persecuted, along with the 3rd party involved. In my 20’s, cheating got a whole new meaning. It became a reason for me to break the trust and commit infidelity myself, just to get even with a partner. In my [...]

Elderly romance is almost always met with a frown especially from sons and daughters and even relatives. Like medical ageism, it seems like the opposing side’s intentions are not too clear, it is just they don’t trust senior’s instinct and capabilities to decide for their own, even if their happiness is at stake. I don’t know, but apparently, when you get older, younger people—people you’ve helped shape minds when they [...]

I still remember a few years back when sex in seniors was almost considered as a taboo. Even my then teenage daughter confessed to a friend—which I accidentally overheard—that there is no way she could imagine her parents having sex, even if we—i.e her parents—have been sharing a room for years and have nothing better to do during colder nights! And that was what, I was only on my midlife, [...]

Finding balance in your life is plain hard work and unfortunately, it also requires tremendous amount of effort to do so. If you have, as of the moment, a partner, family and work, you may think that setting aside ample time for yourself is quite an impossible feat and singles are indeed luckier since they don’t have family to consume their time. THINK AGAIN, according to life coaches, singles also [...]
