“we had sex almost always daily if not more” Don’t know about you Sally, but as much as we enjoy each other and the pleasure of intimacy and physical pleasure, seems a bit excessive.I’d be pooped and my lover would be just a tad sore, me’thinks. Plus, how would you wipe that giveaway smile off your faces?
“Hey Joan “….your thoughts ?
What about some other female perspective ?

NEVER believe all the claims they make about marijuana products because they are all fake and only made legal by using claims when the fact is they are in the business of growing and harvesting and selling for lots of money and even used saying they will pay millions in taxes……well I have been around that business for 50 years and one thing for sure is they would easily lie about how much they made and what they will pay in taxes…….the only thing it does is get you high and sit around do

My dry orgasams of the past 2 years, due to bladder cancer, are multiple and fantastic. My wife of 64 years does not miss the feeling of my ejaculation as that forceful feeling had slowly diminished as we aged. Get used to it and accept it. Giving pleasure, and recieving it count the most. Oral sex is not a duty…it is a pleasure. Joan, once again, gives great advice. Talk to your wife and listen to what she would like for you both.

That sounds so familiar as a way to get someone to resign. I know because I worked in HR and it’s one of the not-so-nice tactics we had to use to get people to quit so we didn’t have to terminate them and pay benefits or possibly get involved in a legal suit. I hope that wasn’t the case with you, but just someone’s bad judgment,

I was at Danceteria in NYC when it premiered, and they had it on a big screen. I have nostalgia over “Video Killed the Radio Star, ” since practically no one I knew had cable back then except for one guy. We would all cram into his tiny apartment and watch the same few videos that MTV had over and over. In more recent times, anything Lady Gaga has done is amazing, but my favorite is “Telephone.”

This is true &should be illegal. I know from personal experience w/my uncle who needed temp rehab several times. There was a facility he went to that was fantastic (owned by the Archdiocese); it was a facility that was half rehab, half nursing home. So when he needed rehab again, we sent him there. But in the interim it had been sold to some investment group-without a name change &the difference was like night &day. Horrible care, bad food, understaffed, no real rehab sessions. It was criminal.

I will never understand why some men are so concerned about how a woman orgasms and not if she has an orgasm. I have been in long term relationships with four different women over the years and one of them could have orgasms from penetration, one was able to after some time together and learning eachother and two never had orgasms from penetration alone. What did happen with all four were orgasms from oral sex, manual stimulation, dildos/vibrators, masturbation and a combination of all of those

Men, try learning Yoni/Tantric massage for your wives. It might just bring them back. You can Google Professional Yoni massage, then go to videos and watch. Learn, watch, and study..then initiate. I’m a 72 yo divorced female who loves masturbation, pleasure, and toys. Keeps me young. A nice bath, a small glass of red wine and I’m ready for pleasure. Orgasm helps many, many aspects of our lives and body/mind.
Good luck

I’m on board with underrepresented backgrounds, but not to the exclusion of non-underrepresented backgrounds. And I am missing thrillers, police procedurals, historical fiction, memoir. And suggestions from members and staff – I have never seen a request for suggestions.

I have not been drawn to many of these Senior Planet book club choices. The one discussion I attended was about an Angie Kim novel, which was terrific. But not very many attended the discussion, and I never see many comments.

Bill, I dont have a problem sharing my partner’s fantasies on porn or even in our bedroom if he wants to share his thoughts. What’s hurt me its his “hiding” it and how he portrays himself to them on websites. These are younger, big fake boob women who he will never truly have, its an insult if it goes beyond a fantasy. Feels as if as his lover, woman and partner I am no longer “good enough”. What is he looking to accomplish? Please share your men’s point of view. I feel betrayed.

What I haven’t seen are any books in the ‘thrillers’ category, or historical romance/mystery categories–i.e. Nora Roberts. Am reading part 3 of her Lost Bride trilogy. Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series is a fun read; other favs–James Rollins, Brad Thor, Vince Flynn, Steve Berry, Jack Carr, Mark Greaney. Also, historical novels on famous people from Bret Baier (just finished reading his great book on Ulysses Grant) and Brian Kilmeade.

When the school year began, I had no classroom, no desk, and I was on the list for a laptop with the aides rather than the teachers, which meant I had to wait to receive my much needed technology to perform my job. I walked into the principals office and didn’t leave until she saw to it I received all of the above!

Hello Bob Jones, I disagree . There are women like myself that marry and live with men that were interested in sex when young adults but then they lost interest in their 30s, now nonexistent past 40 years. Name for them asexuals? Many of the wives of these asexual men remain faithful, but, lonely throughoit the majority of the marriage. Just venting. Hope all works ouy for you and your spouse without the unfaithfulness. Btw, no change with counseling. Best to you and your spouse.
