Some we know about because we have accidentally caught them in each others' rooms ... others we know about because they are so active they are "rubbing" off the dressings we are putting on them ... their butts, their knees, their elbows ... etc. When we ask why it is they are "rubbing" off the dressings ... they admit it happens while having sex. Gosh, that sounds a lot like these folks are being reprimanded by the staff for enjoying one of life's pleasures.
Turn a blind eye, leave them be and let them enjoy whatever they are able to while they still can because they may not be here tomorrow. We don't try to stop them in any way ... we just have to make sure the "rubbed off" dressings get put back on in a timely manner.
I can remember one of the first nursing jobs I had at a nursing home I worked the 3 - 11 shift. One of my duties when putting one patient to bed was to make sure she had her vibrator within reach ... every evening.
I wonder how it feels to be in your 90s and having to explain to some young whippersnappers in their 50s that you're rubbing your dressing off during sex? Understand ... we are not trying to humiliate them and not trying to reprimand anyone. It's simply our job to find a way for them to go about their activities and still maintain the dressing intact.
Step two would be to tell them to mind their own business. We would gladly "mind our own business" if they were capable of doing "their own dressing changes", but they are in our care because they cannot do that. We do our best not to humiliate them in any way.
For us, it's just a matter of finding the right dressing material that will stay on the wound during any activity they wish to participate in ... be it swimming, or bowling, or going to church, or playing corn toss, or making love with their favorite person.
If a person has a wound on a part of their body that they simply cannot reach or treat ... they need our help. We are glad to help. We want them to be around as long as possible. By treating their wounds appropriately, we enable them to remain with us as long as possible.
I can't imagine that there are people in here who think we'd purposely humiliate or reprimand someone for having sex just because we might have to change a dressing a few extra times. Where do you all get your ideas of things?
Geez ... we're nurses and caregivers ... not wicked witches. | |

I'd have to imagine that it'd be similar to eating food that always tasted like unseasoned tofu

Posted: 8/23/2009 7:52:17 PM | You guys are so depressing.
Here I am trying to lighten things up and you just want to hold onto the negative stuff. It's all a choice. Lighten up, have fun, let yourself go, don't even listen to the negative stuff written on here, it means nothing really, in real life, your libido is certainly not dependent on anyone else, regardless of age. GEESH.
Wait a minute, why am I telling you that, from my experience, you already know that, it's the women who need encouragement, to lighten up. OK everybody lighten up. | |

Me too, there's always some excuse, I'll exercise when it's not so hot out, or I meet the "right" person, etc.!  | |

Posted: 8/24/2009 9:20:54 AM | It becomes so much easier to exercise when you have some others to do it with you, encourage you, and sweat those bodies with you as well. Those 10 to 15 pounds can come off in no time if you practice practice and more practice with that person or group.
Come to think about it, libido will also be easier, and increase when you have some others to make that happen, and you practice, practice, practice.........now, if we could only find a workout class that includes libido training as well........oh yes, I think it is called the bedroom and having a relationship.....
Just my opinion........   | |

Posted: 8/24/2009 1:35:34 PM | That's what I was thinking Deacon, maybe I shouldn't be as concerned about whether they're the "right" person or not... in the interests of getting more exercise. As it is, the only exercise I've been getting lately is housecleaning, not very libidinous.  | |

Posted: 8/24/2009 1:40:28 PM | No......but it CAN be if those bed sheets are all clean and smelling so nice from all that house work........
OT.......In the interest of getting more exercise, the right person just makes it that much more interesting, but maybe one needs to consider more often the end results of that exercise and libido expansion, over just the right person.....until that one finally does come along, so to speak......
Just my opinion......... | |

I don't know. I find the sight of a woman cleaning my house to be quite sexually motivating, especially if she works in the nude....:) | |

I don't think your rear is safe in his hands. Forget the stairs - I've got an elevator.  | |

Libido after 50 and the lack of exercise...is that correct? So would "Jumping Jack(s)" be considered a form of execise? * Innocently bats eyelashes *

Posted: 8/24/2009 10:15:01 PM | ^^^^^Jumping Jacks make me think of Jack Lalane, & now I am showing my age.
Sex is THE PERFECT exercise, so more sex is more exercise.
More sex makes for better sleep, which is more energy to really get some aerobic exercise going.
Balance.
Nothing like brisk walks after hot sex!

Wonders if there is anything truly innocent about you, but then again, why would one even worry about it?
Let's Mae jump her jacks and stand of in the corner watching......
Just my opinion......... | |
