Great article, and I completely agree with Mikayla when she said, "I believe the fact that older people are more open and willing to discuss, ask for and participate in sex that they find fullfilling is the reason why sex gets better and better with age!" Things keep getting better and better for me and my husband of almost 32 years. Another thing they don't mention is without the responsibility of young children, we have more time and less concerns about finding time. Also, with husband not working (he's disabled from the Army) and me a full time student but only going to school on Tuesdays and Thursdays, it leaves more time to be close, both sexually and non-sexually. It's the best time of my life right now, and I hope things work out where I can just go back to work part time once I graduate. I know the long hours and high stress of my last job took its toll on our sex life and our happiness.

Thanks! I was so surprised to see these birthday wishes--pleasantly surprised. I haven't been around much--Ive been stopping by, just not as active as I used to be. We've been cleaning our house, sorting, re-arranging, new shelving, getting ready for a yard sale 15 years in the making (we moved in 15 years ago Wednesday), etc. We are almost done with every room, closet, cabinet, shelf, nook and cranny in the house, and my husband (who is doing so much better than he has been in years due to a change in medication) is almost done with the storage sheds in the back yard. We will have our yard sale the third weekend in August, and then college starts back the following week. And I have gotten back into cooking. I used to love to cook, but when I was a working mom, and then got a high stress job with long hours, cooking was just another chore. Now I am getting back into it, fix at least one meal each week with new recipes, have typed all my recipes up, joined a couple cooking/recipe groups and started one of my own. Hope to be back more now. Oh, it was also my husband's birthday--we were born the same day, just two years apart!

Thanks for letting us know and we wish her all the best. Tell her to take it easy, and get well soon. We miss her!

Don't believe everything you hear! I went through a slump a few years back, but realize now it was job related stress and the 60 hour weeks I was putting in. Once that stress was out of my life my sex drive came back stronger than it has ever been in my entire life, even when I was 20. And sex seems better to me now than it was when I was younger. My husband and I know each other more, know what we like, and aren't afraid to try new things. It is much more satisfying than ever before!

Back to the original question, I think it is good for a couple to do things separately once in a while. I often go to dinner and/or movies with my girl friends, and if it wasn't for my cigarette allergy would probably go out to some bars, too. I would love to learn to line dance. But with that being said, I also love to spend time with my husband. But a healthy relationship needs some alone time. I used to say that one of the things that kept our marriage alive was the frequent separations due to the military assignments. then later we were occasionally apart due to my work. But now with him retired and me a full time student we don't have any trips apart. But that is working out well, too!

Sexygranny-- Go for it! If he bought it for you, then he wanted to see you in it. You have what some women only can dream about--a husband who still loves you and finds you desirable after 40 years and that is so special. Plus, you also may be surprised at what slipping into something sexy like that will do for you, too. Add to the fact that the men who really love us have really do see us through those eyes of love. And even if they do see our flaws, they know that the flaws are what makes us who we are. Hope you have a wonderful anniversary--congratulations on 40 years!

Yep, as in McGyver. But also as Jack O'Neill on StarGage SG1 (my favorite show).

Lulu was a prostitute, but she didn't want her grandma to know. One day, the police raided a sex party at a hotel and arrested a whole group of prostitutes, Lulu among them. The police took them outside and had all the prostitutes line up along the driveway when suddenly, Lulu's grandma came by and saw her granddaughter standing in line. Grandma asked, "Why are you standing in line here, dear?" Not willing to let her grandmother know the truth, Lulu told her grandmother that the policemen were there passing out free oranges and she was just lining up for some. "Why, that's awfully nice of them. I think I'll get some for myself," and she proceeded to the back of the line. A policeman was going down the line asking for information from all of the prostitutes. When he got to Grandma, he was bewildered and exclaimed, "Wow, still going at it at your age? How do you do it?" Grandma replied... " I just take my dentures out, rip the skin back and suck them dry." The policeman fainted.

Happy Birthday, Mikayla!

Well, if we are talking stores that sell dildoes, vibrators, inflatable dolls, etc. as sex shops, then they are not illegal in Oklahoma. There is a chain called "Christie's Toy Box" that has 13 locations in Oklahoma, and 1 in Texas (which the article I just read about outlawing sex shops in Alabama said they were illegal there). They have a website, too, but this one is still the best! If that is not the type of sex shop we are talking about, then someone please enlighten me! I have been to Christie's, but prefer shopping TooTimid, mainly because of the reviews and descriptions. The only draw back is not being able to take it home with you right away, but the shipping here is fast, and the anticipation if fun.

This is what I got, too.

20 out of 25.

Mikayla was us bright and early this morning and beat me to this! Happy Birthday, Tyger! Hope your day, and the rest of your life, is GREAT!

Thanks, and Happy Mother's Day to all of the women who share being a mom. I really celebrated yesterday, my youngest had to fly out this morning on business, and the other two had to work today, so we all got together yesterday. Mike grilled rib eye steaks that melted in your mouth, Laura baked a pie and fixed potatoes, and she and Billy fixed salad (Michael, Jr. had to work until about the time we ate). Nice gifts, but nothing elaborate, but I'm not big on gifts anyway. Laura and I had gone for pedicures last weekend as an early Mother's Day present to me, and that was the best! Today I rested, read, shopped a little, then Michael, Jr. bought pizza. Everyone is watching TV, nothing on I want to watch, so here I am. By the way, I made 4 A's for the semester! I was ecstatic about that!
