    He "tapped" that goldmine. Hehe.

    Seriously tho, if you can stop focusing on the wrinkles and think of the soul within that weathered body, you will realize that old ppl have beautiful sex on a whole higher level.

    If you are lucky enough to live to old age, you will appreciate some good sexual healing like never before. Old ppl tend to have have aches and pains and tensions. A full body massage, an orgasm, and some human companionship can seriously improve quality of life.

    They’re not in it for egotistical or superficial reasons. Like the first lady said, she’s more "humanistic."
    They are kinder, they know themselves better, they have more patience and understanding. They are able to recognize if someone isn’t into them and simply let it go. They don’t have time for drama. They’ve lost people before, so they can handle it. They are living for the now, but in a mature, way.

    At 4:59 Ms. Herta says it "used to be called getting the girl hot." Well, 60 or 70 years later the terminology hasn’t changed a bit.

    Guess i should try the senior center. I wonder if they would car that I don’t get sex at home so I’m looking else where?



  13. Paul F on March 14, 2022 at 6:58 pm

    Why did you limit your interviews with females?

    I hear there’s tons of sex in retirement homes because there are about three women to every man. And lots of them are widowed so I understand it. But the people there don’t seem like horndogs. They’re very sweet and friendly and just don’t seem like they’re scoping out people for sex.

    The looks that make a big difference, for example myself being (82) running, nobody believes me when I go shopping and do things on my own, people around try to help me but I say no, and I will do myself. The reason being self confidence is an important factor in anybody’s life. After 33 years of wedded life losing my wife is not easy to forget the glorious time we had. It is very difficult to forget what we cherished, two great sons who realized early in their life how hard their dad was struggling to run the family and their own decision to better themselves by becoming medical doctors. It wasn’t easy for them but they worked hard became doctors. It is hard life but you have to face it. God Bless All.

    ummm, I think I will just take matters into my own hands at this point.

    58,220 men died in Vietnam and in 15 years 8 women died in Vietnam. Grand ma getting laid….give me a break. I live in a 55+ community and the singles club is literally 90% women. I’m also a retired nurse. Guys, they don’t look any better when you hit 60. This clip is all BS.

    She puts her bra on one leg at a time



  27. Chuck Brown on March 14, 2022 at 7:10 pm

    Bottom line, intimacy never gets any easier. It’s always fun but as we age we change and what we can do changes and who we want to do it with changes. Finding the perfect match especially after being with someone you really clicked with sexually is nearly impossible because you can’t help but compare. Unless you don’t care about who you sleep with and wanting them to be satisfied, it’s probably always going to be frustrating. Bummer….

  43. Loren Zell on March 14, 2022 at 7:27 pm

    Typical today. Doesn’t interview one man, as though what men want doesn’t matter. Besides, it’s a dumb topic. Very few men or women are interested in sex in their Senior years.



  44. Red Queen on March 14, 2022 at 7:28 pm

    My fault for clicking on this!! I’m already old-early 50’s and yes, even you 20 somethings will get there ( I never thought I would !! ) but watching this and visualizing Herda at 92 getting her freak on made my eyeballs throw up. Mom and dad and grandpa and grandma have sex, that’s great!!!…but no one wants to see or hear about it.

    There is a fantastic audio book that erotically describes sex at a seniors facility. Apparently this happens all the time in Florida and Arizona. The sex is amazing. matures and seniors fuck like rabbits. You can buy the audio book at : @t

    If you don’t have an @t account (get one free for this book), you can get this book for free. If you don’t have an audible account, feel free to email simmerchet@@t for a free code.
