I don't know that I ever posted this, here. When I wrote it, I thought it would go viral among all the Baby Boomers... Apparently, though, the sexual revolution can't hold a candle to all the political revolutions that stir our hearts to rage and mutiny...

    SCB's, I don't know if I can live through another one.

    But a true story that's apropos to the post. Many, many years ago at the height of the first sexual revolution I'd entered college after Nam. I had an older friend down the road from the college, an independent mechanic in a big old metal quonset hut type building with a large, coal fired stove off to the side and an always full pot of coffee. He had a small group of even older friends that would stop by in the afternoons, get their coffee and sit in metal chairs circled around the old stove and tell great stories. I liked to stop by after class in the afternoons and try to sit in and hear the stories, though they always made me sit in the back row, which only had one chair-mine.

    One afternoon, I happened to sit down as a few of the guys were talking about how this 'new fangled sexual revolution' hadn't effected them much and how long it had been since they'd even thought much about sex. Now it just so happened that I was taking a Psychology 101 course and the topic that very day had been human sexuality and age differences. So I spoke up with my newly achieved wisdom.

    I related that my Psychology professor had just covered the topic and revealed that there was no reason on this Earth why people in their 60's, 70's, even 80's couldn't have just as much sex as they'd always had. One little old man in his early 80's turned to me and said, "Lad", he called me Lad even though I was a Nam vet, with a full beard, and in college, "Lad, have you ever seen an 80 year old woman with her clothes off?"

    I had never heard such a racket of Hee-hawing, cackling, coughs, and hacking before and I thought a couple of them were going to fall off their chairs or have strokes. I learned a valuable lesson that afternoon around that old coal stove. I'm not sure what it was, but I learned.

    Lad, indeed.

        Hooch? Do you mean the Quonset Hut. It was the old half circular metal buildings used by the Army a lot during WWII into the 60's or so. Very fast to put up without the need for internal support. It was probably 30ft x 60 ft and I have no idea where he got it from.

        The other kind of 'hooch' I wasn't much of a fan of at that time in life. Lot's of brothers problems. Now I love cowboy coffee and Drambuie and a good single malt and an occasional tequila.

    Leave it to you youngsters to bring up such a subject. I can't speak for others in their 80s, but when I look at my wife, I can still see the 19 year old girl who made me look good as we danced at a friend's wedding. My body may be falling apart in increments, but there are parts of me that still work well. Gravity has had its way with me, and her, but a touch and a kiss is still a treat. As a bonus, it doesn't cost anything either.

    It's a very good article. Porn saps the desire of youth too. It also fosters unrealistic expectations. As far as women over 70 or 80 not being sexually attractive, that really depends on the woman and the man. Love is, after all, blind. But you were talking about vaginal sex. There are more ways to pleasure your partner.

    Only because of the little blue pill.


    Two teenage boys, broke into their fathers medicine cabinet.
    They wanted to get high and saw a bottle of viagra.

    The two boys decided to equally split the 30 pills and each took 15, washed them down with their fathers light beer and turned on some porn.

    They were discovered, and taken to the hospital and treated for 3rd degree burns to their hands.

    Dame Helen Mirren turned 70. I have been her fan since 1984 and 2010:The Year We Make Contact.

      She's quite a woman. Love her part in the recent Red and Red 2 movies. Jane Seymour is over 60 too! I've always dated older women, and it's not because I am mature for my age!

        The best advice I ever received - besides that of Frank Zappa and education - was from one of my Uncles., One day they all go through a door not knowing if on the other side the button will be in the on or off position. Just prior .......
