Danger of casual sex
Too many men and women in their late teens and early twenties do not consider the implications of their one-night stands and first-date hookups.
Casual sex is not a problem of promiscuity as much as Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs). Past history is a fair topic. As embarrassing as it may be to have that talk with a partner, it is worse to end up having that talk with a doctor.
Having sex with someone is comparable to having sex with everyone the other person has been with. This opens the disease floodgates. There are more than 25 known STDs and some of the most common ailments do not yet have a cure.
STD carriers do not always know they are infected and a potential partner may have no way of being able to tell visually because there are not always signs or symptoms. Half of the newly infected are between the ages of 15-24.
Once someone is infected, gender plays a role in how they are affected. Women are less likely than men to show symptoms for common diseases such as chlamydia and gonorrhea. Often the infection will remain even if the symptoms go away. STDs can damage a woman’s ability to have children. They can be passed on to children, causing serious injuries or death.

According. To this post I should have stopped fifteen years ago. No way. If I don't get three times a week min I would go crazy as far as creativity its no good if both don't reach the top. I have a girlfriend half my ave everything works just like I'm. 20 still. I think it is essential. To health and wellbeing.

I think being creative is very important. If you want to completely utterly satisfy your partner creativity is crucial.
And that's a good place to begin.

If your single, over 50, most woman do not want to know, so, masturbate

All i see you posting"Professor" is statistics? So what is the average statistics for one to- Get out of bed,stumble and break ones neck? The way i figure its better with ALL the bells&whistles in a relationship including Sex, than Relying on some statistic!! "Pull the corncob out!!" If you don't think their (safe) put a rainsuit on!! "Get Human"! Personally i've gone by another old saying" If the weather is too bad, Stay inside the house!!

I need intimacy, communication, honesty and butterflies in my belly, then sex. It's a shared experience based on attraction initially, but made memorable by establishing a relationship first. And, yes, women over 50 need sex, too.

I feel it is a major part of a relationship.

I think its the spice of life and good for the soul

Exchanged a couple comments with this lady. She seems be intelligent & has a sense of humour. Let's make her welcome folks.

Welcome to the forums pkh. Women of all ages still need sex but agree that there has to be a relationship and trust before the sex. Everyone's needs and wants are different and their own.

The woman is like a rose. If you treat her right, she'll bloom. If you don't, she'll wilt. I feel happy near her even with no sex.
If you treat her same way you treat others. How is she supposed to know that she's special to you?

By definition....isn't sex a group of actions that are aimed at bringing your lover to orgasm? I realize that erectile dysfunction is prevalent....but it doesn't make you dead. A man armed with creativity, love and a few good toys can keep his woman quite content.

Worse....there are STD's that men carry and have no idea...but they can kill off women....HPV, the type that can end up as cervical cancer, for instance....then there are STD's spread orally or on a surface not made safe by condom use....such as the HPV genital warts.... Plus, most people are mistakenly under the impression that STD's are red, pustules or something easy to see. If you don't know what you are looking for, you could be out of luck. By the way, gentlemen....when a woman asks you to wear a condom....replying that you were fixed years ago is not the proper response. I'm not worried about getting pregnant.

A majority of women cannot have an orgasm from intercourse alone, no matter how long her partner can maintain his erection or the size of his penis, because she doesn't get sufficient clitoral stimulation from intercourse to trigger the orgasmic response. So the man needs to learn how to give his wife orgasms using his fingers or mouth. I'��m sure he'll be able to make her climax. The wife will be getting sexual satisfaction whenever they make love, at least he won't be leaving her sexually frustrated, which is the most important thing.

I think it's always a mistake to gear any topic to a group of people. For me, sex is just as necessary and enjoyable as it was in my 20's. Some of the logistics may have changed but it is still desired and satisfying. )

You can't seal a bargain without a contract!! And if your (pencil or pad) doesn't work anymore then why be on here?

Are you a doctor or is all of your information just years of experience??? Just curious.

As bodies and feelings change over the age of 50, it's more important than ever to communicate your thoughts, fears, and desires with your partner. Encourage your partner to communicate fully with you, too. Speaking openly about sex may not come easily to you, but improving your communication will help both of you feel closer, and can make sex more pleasurable.

I am a doctor in Food Science. My information are years of experience and readings.
