| Is sex as important to you as it once was? Posted: 8/29/2008 1:54:46 PM | | I know as we age, certain priorities come to the forefront. Also physiological and mental changes come into play, which may change or need or want for sex. I`m just curious how aging has effected your sexual appetite, and if good and satisfying sex would be considered imperitive to you in a relationship, and has it`s level of importance when weighing the value of a relationship changed? Would you consider a sexless or less frequent or lower quality sex life now , which you might not have considered when you were younger? | |

| Is sex as important to you as it once was? Posted: 8/29/2008 2:20:24 PM | To me sex is an expression of love. Whether or not a man is impotent or not doesn't matter to me. If I love him and he loves me, I'm happy to hold hands and cuddle,as long as there is an expression of love. To tell you the truth, I never was with a man for just the sex, it was always for the love we shared together.  | |

| Is sex as important to you as it once was? Posted: 8/29/2008 2:25:58 PM | A good sex life is very important to me. Probably because it's been so long since I've had one!
At this point in my life, I would not be happy with a less than satisfying sex life. I don't expect it to be the same as it was in my 20's but I hope to find a man with the same desire and appetite that I have. I've never dated anyone older than me so I don't really know what to expect.
I also think there is a difference between frequency and quality. I can live with infrequent (as long as it's not too infrequent) but I think it would be frustrating to have a high sex drive and never be satisfied by your partner. There are ALWAYS ways to give and get pleasure if you care enough to please your partner. | |

| Is sex as important to you as it once was? Posted: 8/29/2008 2:31:18 PM | I honestly don't know. I guess I'll have to cross that bridge when I get there.
Right now, I'm on dry land. Very dry land. And I see absolutely no water in sight (much less a bridge)

| Is sex as important to you as it once was? Posted: 8/29/2008 2:34:38 PM | | Moreso, cause I know Im better now than I have ever been before. If someone has a low sexual appetite I dont think we would get along at all. | |

| Is sex as important to you as it once was? Posted: 8/29/2008 2:43:33 PM | | I've practiced abstinence so I know I don't HAVE to have it. But I have to say that now that I'm in a relationship that includes sex, it's pretty freaking important. LOL! I would find it difficult to come to a screeching halt at this point but I definitely could remain happy in an otherwise good relationship without sex. | |

| Is sex as important to you as it once was? Posted: 8/29/2008 2:49:57 PM | Sex washes off...to me love and intimacy is much more important. Sure, monkey sex is great, and lusting after someone on a purely physical level is something I enjoyed in my youth..but I'm much more selective now. Today my heart is connected to my crotch...no man will be given access to either one..unless both body parts are in unison!!! lol. | |

| Is sex as important to you as it once was? Posted: 8/29/2008 3:26:51 PM | | No, sex is *more* important to me than it once was. I put up with a man who was selfish in bed way too long. If someone isn't a good & generous lover, they're outta here! | |

| Is sex as important to you as it once was? Posted: 8/29/2008 3:30:50 PM | | I enjoy the full dimensions of a woman now more than at any prior time in my life, and while I would happily add several ladies to the mix, only one of those relationships would be a sexual one. That would be the most important one, and yes, its sexual side would be highly important to me. | |

I`m just curious how aging has effected your sexual appetite, and if good and satisfying sex would be considered imperitive to you in a relationship It hasn't affected it at all. Yes, it is imperitive to me in a relationship, very.
Would you consider a sexless or less frequent or lower quality sex life now , which you might not have considered when you were younger? In a word, "no" I would not consider it. | |

| Is sex as important to you as it once was? Posted: 8/29/2008 4:33:03 PM | A good, no, make that a GREAT and extremely satisfying sex life is much more important to me now than it was when I was younger. In earlier years, my priorities were raising my child, building my career and furthering my education. The demands of those were very heavy at times and even having a relationship, much less a fantastic sex life, ranked way down on my list in terms of importance.
I don’t have those demands anymore and I’m much more focused on my own needs and desires, having sublimated them for so long. I wouldn’t even consider a partner who had a low or non existent libido, it just wouldn’t work for me. | |

| Is sex as important to you as it once was? Posted: 8/29/2008 4:37:51 PM | | Wow, only one response from a man. I wonder what all the older men who are unable to function because of BP from obesity, diabetes, etc. actually do. There must be women out there that are satisfied with a sexless relationship , because a lot of these older guys, if they aren`t healthy, I don`t think they are capable, but yet I see them with women. I guess maybe the pills help. | |

| Is sex as important to you as it once was? Posted: 8/29/2008 5:33:06 PM | I personally have a long distant sex life. Only get to see my man now 2-3 times a year but when we do get to see each other it is wonderful. And if we were closer then I am sure our sex life would be increased to 4-5 times a week if not dailey. Yup. thats what I said. I dont think it has much to do with age . I know young women in their 30's and 40's who think it is a drudgery to perform ( as they call it) for their man. I have a good friend who would rather give her man oral just so she doesn't have to deal with anything else. She said she just isn't interested in it anymore. And she is only 43. Women make excuses. Now my mother is 84 years old. Her boyfriend just passed away a few months ago ( his Dr assured her it had nothing to do with their sex life) but she told me some stories that made me blush and just today she told me she would take it anyway she could get it. She laughed when she said it but she can't kid me She meant it. I personally would not want a sexless relationship. Sex is important to me and I am not willing to give it up regardles of my age. I am going to be just like my Mama when I grow up!!  | |

Posted: 8/29/2008 6:05:51 PM | Come on now... this is the internet forum world of brag and dream and fantasy... you actually think anyone would come on this thread and admit yes, sex is very nice but it is not as important as it once was??? Maybe one brave person might. Otherwise this thread is just going to get full of .... well, what it's (mostly) been full of thus far.

Dr. Brevity say: "Yes, sex is very nice, but it is not as important to me as it once was." | |

| Is sex as important to you as it once was? Posted: 8/29/2008 6:42:29 PM | Well, my answer to this has everything to do with how long it's been since I last had sex. Anything after 15 or 20 minutes, and yes, it becomes important again.

| Is sex as important to you as it once was? Posted: 8/29/2008 8:09:58 PM | Sex is actually more important to me than in past relationships. I am not starting a family or climbing the social ladder. My priorities have shifted to match the woman I have become. I am listening to an entirely new clock ticking. I only have so many years left to get the most out of a relationship, I prefer not to waste them. | |
