For all those of advancing years planning to live on a sailboat, it is worth reading "Shapes on the Wind" by New Zealander David Lewis. He sailed adventuresomely - and with various lady friends in ones and twos - into his seventies and eighties with failing eyesight, a hearing aid, a repaired hip, rheumatism and various other lifegiven challenges. He said the biggest problem is other people who think "you should not be doing that at your age" (including having orgasms) In a forward, the late Sir Peter Blake warned readers to be careful since it would change their life.
The message? Just get on with it!

when I was a kid, the notion of sex for the over-sixties was - well - yuck! however, having passed that particular milestone not so long ago now, and acquired a new partner in life, I think it's the best kept secret.
Don't tell the kids - they might be jealous.

...anyway, I was chatting to our elderly milkman in the pub on Friday night and he was boasting he's had sex with all the women in our street except one! When I told my wife she said I bet it's that miserable cow at number 28.......?

Lucky Jack. Not many men have a hearing aid they can switch off!!

I can't tell you how useful they were - especially when they broke! He couldn't hear me grizzle - or sing!! And to get his attention, I just yelled 'JACK!', and when he was face on he could hear me enough/lip read.
