Do you want to use it or lose it?

Baby boomer Di trying not to lose what she has left

HI there, all you young-at-hearters and any youngies game enough to have a peek into the future.

I am a journalist in my 50s with a cheeky slant on life and I know through my work  that there are a lot more sassy baby boomers out there -  more ‘out there’  than I am. They are my inspiration.

This site will have their stories plus articles on every aspect of ageing in style – even disgracefully. Don’t worry, we are not concentrating on sexual matters, although that will be part of  it.

Use it or lose it relates to the mind, body and soul.

Matters concerning love, health, careers, education, adventure, family and friendship will be the main thrust of this site.

Most importantly, all content will be original. I have some great interviewees and story ideas lined up.

Stay tuned for more.

Cheers,
Diane.

Sex gets better with age

AH, how I love to read stories about sex improving with age.

It is all about quality over quantity and that quality can be some leap – at least for women, according to one of my favourite sexperts Tracey Cox.

Darling Tracey has delivered the wonderful news that women will have more orgasms as they get older! Well, it’s about time we started to have as much fun as the men.

And, as men get older? Tracey made the unremarkable observation that men are stimulated by visual images. Hey, that’s the same for men of all ages, isn’t it? Tracey was not clear whether the men are stimulated by the sight of their same-age mates or their imaginings of more nubile models. Now, let me guess …

Anyway, the good news for women is that 90 per cent past 30 regularly experience orgasm, compared to just 23 per cent of younger women.

That is despite frequency of bedroom action dropping from an average 112 times a year for 18 to 29 year olds to 69 (the magic number!) times a year after 40.

Oh, well, you can’t have everything. And there would be many of you old devils who get fired up much more than a mere 69 times a year, especially as a growing number of us have repartnered.

Some of us in our 50s are in new relationships and, while we might not be bonking like we would have been as 25 year olds in love, we are giving it a good damn try.

It all comes down to the theme of this site – use it or lose it.

But do be careful.  It can be embarrassing if you have to take time off work because you have done your back in being over-enthusiastic between the sheets. And what would our children say? They’d be jealous for a start!
