I’d don’t mean to derail this thread, but I can’t help not commenting on this statement.
It’s great that someone can still enjoy that much activity at 70, but why place so much importance on it that it could affect your mental health, especially at 70?
I mean, how much is enough? And is the end-all-be-all of life to just have a lot of orgasms?
I’m 55 and I have had sex exactly 2 times in the past 16 years, and I don’t expect to ever do it again. Not because I don’t want to, but it just does not appear that it will happen on the terms I prefer. I’ve made peace with the notion and it doesn’t really matter that much. I have so many more important and meaningful things to occupy my time with than just getting laid. I can understand a virgin at 20 getting depressed that they might not ever have sex, but not a 70 year old man that has already had his fill.
I just think the average person places way too much importance on sex. I spent far too much time in my younger years trying to get laid, and now I regret all that wasted time. Maybe I wouldn’t if I had been more successful, but it was not time well spent.
It’s great if it happens, but it’s not worth making yourself a tortured soul over it.
