Baby Boomers Guide to Sex
Elderly Problems by Boomeryearbook.com
All too often you hear of people being criticized for not knowing how to behave. Some people stomp through life’s social minefield without a moment’s hesitation and never seem to step on a bomb: others are blown to bits on the first date and end up being avoided forever. Baby boomers; being of a mature age, might be expected to have already learned the social etiquette that features going out on dates and enjoying the company of members of the opposite gender.
Not so! Baby boomers back in the dating scene are usually there as a result of having a long term partnership come to an end through illness, death or divorce. Getting back in the saddle can be a scary thing when you are past 45 and the only woman you have “dated” also washed your socks and underwear.
Not knowing how to behave leaves you feeling uncomfortable and lacking in confidence; especially if your date is displaying all the signs of knowing exactly what the rules are and how to manipulate them to his (or her) own advantage!
The first thing top remember is to relax and try to ‘be yourself’. This does not mean you should indulge in bad manners – always supposing your manners are good to start with! It means that if you are a kind and decent person to start with, there is no reason to suppose that you need to put on an act to impress someone and remember: they found you attractive enough to want to date you in the first place, right?
Should dinner and dating eventually lead to a sexual adventure, remember it is never a good idea to drink too much and certainly not a good idea to encourage someone else to do so either. If they cannot find you attractive enough to want sex with you sober, they are certain to regret it when they sober up! Keep things on an even and naturally relaxed keel and you will find things take their course. If not, it was probably not meant to be anyway…
Take the time to ask yourself if sex is what you really want before you embark on the kind of relationship that complicates a great friendship and remember your partner might not have indulged in a sexual relationship with someone for many years. Ask nicely about what they want and bear in mind that certain reservations might take a while to disappear. The prospect of seeing a strange man naked after years of celibacy could turn a very warm blooded baby boomer lady as cold as ice if handled badly!
Baby boomers who are returning to a sex life after a long absence would probably be well advised to approach the practical side of sex with some caution and this should include the wearing of a condom. Pregnancy might no longer be an issue but sexual health is always important for those getting on in years as much as for younger adults.
