Sex and the Older Man

DAVID KAUFMAN, MD: "I think the most important thing I can do today is dispel the myth that as men get older their sexual abilities decrease. That is absolutely not true. There's really no physiologic or anatomic reason why a healthy man who takes good care of himself, and who doesn't have attendant medical problems, shouldn't be able to have a very fulfilling and active sexual life."

Well, that's good to know. I think it was the ebullient Boy George, one time lead singer of 1980s band Culture Club, who once said he would much rather have a cup of tea than have sex.

The older a man gets, the more he begins to think if he has still has lead in the old pencil. I met an old friend last week and he is going to be a father again in July. He's in his mid forties and already has an 18 year old son from a previous relationship. I'm absolutely delighted for him even if he did seem rather daunted by the prospect of fatherhood again. But perhaps it's a mental thing. As Dr. Kaufman says there's no reason why an older man shouldn't be able to have a very fulfiling and active sexual life.

That said, the last time I was down at Ocean Terminal I took a wee diversion along a dark, narrow street. A well painted woman, wearing a very short skirt, fishnet tights and sporting a cleavage that could have had one's eye out approached me.

'Hey mister' she croaked, 'de ye fancy some super sex?'

'If it's all the same with you dear,' I nervously replied, 'I'd rather have the soup...'

I'm not sure about this post though...it may require some intensive research (hee hee).
