Sexual Activity in the Golden Years

As a woman in my late twenties, the thought of my mother having sex makes me cringe, moreover the thought of my grandparents doing it. Yikes! Even though they are deceased, if they were alive I would be shocked to learn that they were still enjoying sex, even in their 80's. It seems that once our parents reach their 50's we expect this issue to be swept under the rug (so to speak) or it becomes a taboo topic. The reality, however, is that people are living longer, there are drugs available to treat erectile dysfunction; so inevitably our sex lives will be extended later in life.

“We are all measured by inches, ages, numbers and all the outside things that don’t add up to who we are on the inside. So let your weight loss journey be one of self-acceptance every step of the way. If you are unhappy with yourself fifty pounds heavier you’ll probably feel the same way when you lose the weight. Happiness is not embedded in outward appearances.”

I thought that I would never be able to make a man happy after the death of my husband - but I do - and it takes two. Just because we are old doesn't mean we have to hide in a closet, so to speak.
