At what age do you expect to stop swinging?

Having recently hit the big 6-0, we are starting to wonder how long we can keep this monkey business going. With an assist from modern pharmaceuticals, everything still works. Have you thought about the age when you will retire from the lifestyle?

I recently turned 70 and I find myself considering whether its worth the effort. My wife and I have a fulfilling sex life. Perhaps that’s sufficient at this point.

 

On the other hand a few years ago I had an MFM scene at a party with a couple who were in their mid-80s and had been playing at least since their wedding night — the year I was born!

I, njbm, will have 68 years later this month. Cannot go as hard or as long as before but still going well enough. I think you can look forward to going at least as long as this.

 

I just hope to not loose my mind. That would be the worst. Wishing you and everybody the best right up to the end.

We plan to stop when other couples are no longer interested in seeing us naked.

I'll be 69 soon, and I'm still going . . . Not as often as I used to, but still in the game.

I will be 63 later this month, Mrs. FL is already 65.

 

We look around at our cohort--those with whom we attended school, co-workers,etc.--and observe how different people age differently. Yes, some of our cohort have died. Yes, some of our cohort have aged and become infirm. We consider ourselves fortunate indeed.

 

There is something of a "use it or lose it" aspect to aging. Sex is certainly on that list. To the extent that the LS keeps sex interesting and exciting for both of us, we'll continue. Too many of our cohort became sexually boring, bored, and quit...some decades ago.

 

Eventually, the physiology of aging will win. In the meantime, sex is part of our lives, and the LS is part of our sexual lives.

We subscribe to the use it or lose it theory whether applied to walking and exercise or swinging.

Did anyone notice that the responses above are from some of the frequent contributors to other posts? These people offer sound advice and commentary drawn from their experience and wisdom and I, for one, am grateful.

 

I'm 72, Mrs. Worn is 63 and we have not entertained others in our bed for a few years for a number of reasons. We have an excellent sex life and hope to keep it hot for many more years, knowing that aging is just like gravity--not only a concept, but the law.

Whenever she wants to, whenever it isn't fun anymore, or shortly after we die, whichever comes first.
