The Golden Years and Sex
 

How do you feel about old people "Getting It"?


How long do you think after gran'mom or gran'pop dies should the spouse wait to get their swerve on?

Should they use condoms?

LOL!!! *ok, all goofiness aside* I think they should. I know I would be 'getting it' if I were old. I wish my grandma would 'get it'. I definitely think that they should use condom though because V.D. is still V.D.

I'm apathetic towards it until I'm the old person who is "gettin it!" :D If it isn't wrinkled shut or swiveled inoperable (and/or stinky as heck) then "get it!!!" This is especially the case for couples who remember how it was before they grew old together.


For casual sex, yes, because elderly homes/retirement communities have been reporting a rise in sexually transmitted diseases and other sexual conditions over the years.

None of these diseases have an age limit.

I am mad you said, "VD" hehehehhe.

It's as archaic as "Negro..." like in that 'other' thread.

The term is STD :D

Oh yeah I forgot the other question...yeah....uuuhhh... should old people be allowed to breed?


someone told me to say it.

LOL, I know! I was thinking about that episode of Good Times (the girl thought J.J. gave her V.D.) when I said it.

Ha! Wasn't there a thread about archaic language? Why was there a change from VD to STD?

I'm offended by "other!" Either de-objectify that thread and state what it is specifically or don't reference it at all. :p

The bold made me weak! LOL

Oh and to answer the question of breeding...No, I don't think so. It isn't fair to the child if they have them too late in life. They won't be around that much longer. But, I guess it depends on how old the parents are at the time of conception.

all i can think of when i read the thread title is the scene from Chappelle's Show w/ the principal and teacher having sex. :(

You know what i meant when I said "other".

I didn't want to insult that "negro" thread or the "negroes" involved in that "other" thread.

Sidenote: When I go to do spell check, the word "Negro" is a proper noun...so...let me rephrase by saying I didn't want to insult the proper Negroes on that 'other' thread.

HELL to the NO.

I say go for it. The biggest problem in my grand-M-I-L's nursing home is the ratio of men to women. Too many women, not enough men.

In fact the nursing home even encouraged the family to buy great-grandma a vibrator because she was using other items to satisfy herself and they were afraid she would injure herself. My father-in-law was mortified at the thought, but did have my brother-in-law go buy one for her. :)

:eek: @ stop defending your use of "other!" LOL

Proper Negroes for a proper noun. See, we have Black History Month and proper nouns. What a mighty force we are, indeed.

stop. playing.

Next on the news: Police break up a KY smuggling ring. Film @ 11.

Wait. LOL, Wait. For reals for real?

This is actually why, with the advent of Viagra,etc., sexually transmitted diseases, even HIV, has spread like wild fire through nursing homes! These horny old men just spread it around their ready made harem.

wait...why it gotta be the man's fault????? it takes two to tangle (in these cases...tangle is the term.)

Cuz he's spreading that nasty isht from some ho to everyone else! Little Old ladies everywhere!!! Even if he says he loves you, use a condom!!!

And now she gotta be a ho...

The name calling...I tell you.

Just because she consents to having random sex with an old dude or a lot of old dudes...doesn't make her a hoe.

uh huh...hoes ain't the only ones with killer cooties nowadays missie!!!!

For real. I thought it was a joke when my mother-in-law was telling me the story- but it is completely real. Great-Grandma has dementia and apparently on that floor at least, "dancing with oneself" is not uncommon.

So her little friend was placed in her side table, and when she is acting like she needs it, the staff will remind her where it is.

i shoulda known better than reading this thread while eating

LOL

VD was closely associated with syphillis and gonorrhea. Needless to say there are way more STDs than those two.

There was more than those 2 back then too...you the herpes and clammyderia and uhhhhh....what was that other one....oh yeah PCCR - Post Coital Crotch Rot.

@ the sex toys comment...can you imagine Mothers Day, bringing Dear old grandmom the Ron Jeremy Special?

I used to be curious about sex into the golden years, myself. I was told by an older woman that, as long as you keep having sex, you can keep having sex. If you stop, it's hard to get it back...supposedly.

Being in geriatrics, these are both spot on. As a nun I know once said, "It's the last thing they think about, and they don't really care about with whom."

Think about it. They're old, the sharpest of them have lost some of their memories, but they can all go back to happier, more exciting times. So what do you think they think about? It's not like they can see as well as they used to, so they'll each take what they can get. STDs are a growing problem for those in a home - which is why mechanical friends are encouraged by a lot of nursing home staffs.

WTH is that?!

When I say "back then" I mean pre-80s/90s. Chlamydia really wasn't regularly diagnosed before then. When you said "VD" in 1975, you either meant syphillis or gonorrhea.

Sup Robin.

Thanks, 33girl for explaining VD. I think they say "VD" during the dinner scene (bust out scene where Michael chokes Angela) in "Why Did I Get Married."

I'm all about getting it in till it doesn't work (with or without medical help...lol).

I hadn't heard V.D since the "Good Times" episode when JJ got caught up...lol!

I laugh when I hear GC, it means something different to me...Gonorrhea and Chlamydia! They are frequently diagnosed together.

When I was in medical school, I was really good friends with another female student. We both went into General Surgery and did most of our 4th year together. After awhile, one of the medicine residents started calling us GC..."Because when you see one; you always see the other!" BTW...I decided I was Chlamydia :P

Actually, in more recent years it's been changed to STI though that is catching on very slowly. This was explained at a safe sex presentation in college and the instructor said something like "Diseases randomly manifest in the body through no or very little fault of your own. These are 'infections' because you went out and got that." :cool:

Though Angela and Mike did call it "VD" in WDIGM? That was a little weird to hear it in such a recent movie.


See, just when you were in the clear, I can't stand you again!!!
