I agree emphatically that "Key to a continuing healthy sex life is a sense of humour, proper communication and a taste for adventure."

I can also confirm that sex at 81 is just as important as it was when I was 27, the age when I came out. Of course a lot has changed. My physical fitness is nowhere near what it used to be, and specially my physical condition and several of the medications I have been on for 16 years directly affect erectile functioning. Not totally, but significantly. As well, little blue pills just don't do the trick.

Honesty and openness are important, as is a good sense of humour. I don't use alcohol, but a little cannabis gel cap goes a long way to relaxing, and getting in touch with my body and where it wants to go. A bit of creativity and experimentation, and talking with my partner help to find ways to have a happy and fulfilling sex life.
