Geriatric BDSM - Does Geritol apply? - 3/19/2006 8:42:49 AM

As I'm approaching 50, I am starting to reflect more on what will become into my senior years (even though I know I still have a ways to go), in particular as it relates to BDSM. I realize that what is "senior" for one may not be senior for another. I suppose what I'm rambling about here is what happens when you've reached those "golden years" and still involved in the lifestyle. Anyone who may be past the age of 65 care to share their experiences, whatever they may be?

Last time I checked 50 wasn't old or even CLOSE to senior. My 70 year old mom would beat up your kneecaps for saying so. She actually called and griped out the AARP people when they sent her a welcome to seniorhood packet on her birthday loudly telling them that she doesn't know what kind of weakminded old farts they are but SHE'S NOT OLD.

hell in my early 30's I'm just learning to enjoy my life experience and dammit I EARNED every inch of that first grey hair.

I think what the rose4u was trying to convey, was that having a mother who is 70 and still is feeling youthful and viable that you have a good 20-25 years left to have this issue become a concern for you personally.It, I feel truly depends on a few factors,ie:your general health as a rule,your state of mind,your over all living conditions,stress,and possibly family history(such as: diabetes,heart disease etc.)......be well...Tempting.

The title of your blog denotes condescension and criticism of mature adults in and of itself.

Did you really expect any sincere replies with the precursor of: "Geriatric BDSM-does Geritol Apply"? Or was your purpose to insult those of us who are also 49, or older?

The fact that you are 49 yoa hardly gives you carte blance in ridiculing those who have a few years on you.

I suggest retitling your query, if in fact it is at all sincere, and see whether you receive a sincere response in kind.

IronBear was much more forthcoming than I, given the flippant and sarcastic title.

I'm 55. Sir is 65 so i asked him to give me advice as to how to answer this. First, he says the best years are yet to come.

He says that just because he qualifies for senior citizen discounts doesn't mean he is unable to perform equally or better than any junior aged Dom. Being retired allows more time for play and more time to be with your sub. It means that we meet more lifestyle people as we travel south for the winter and north for the summer. During our travels we've joined a number of BDSM organizations thus allowing us to utilize a variety of facilities and attend a number of seminars. We've been exposed to a number of different BDSM lifestyles. Over the years we gather toy bags filled with lovely equipment, some seldom utilized to their fullest extent due to lack of time, knowledge, and privacy. During these golden years with all the time we have on our hands we now become more proficient through experimentation and use all these toys.

At 65 he believes that he's just getting started with the full life that BDSM can be.....so many paths still to travel, so many bends to look around.

Of course, aging often means more health problems. Sir had some major health issues, however due to his wonderful attitude we live each day to the fullest. Before his lung transplant he was very limited in what he could do. Now the sky is the limit and and only our imaginations can stop us from flying.

The title was not meant to imply condescension or criticism of mature adults and if it indeed offended anyone, then my sincere apologies.

There definitely is a recognition that the time you thought was infinite when you were young is running out. I expect to have maybe two to five years more of play time and I'm doing my best to maximize things. This was one big reason for discontinuing travel/lecture trips and letting Greenery know that High-Tech Toys would be my last book.

When you realize that each day may be the last, it is a wonderfully clarifying experience.

Oh, and this response had NO condescension and criticism of mature adults in it at ALL!

What I'm really sick of in here is grown adults pompously and self-righteously reprimanding other grown adults for making a contribution in an open message forum. His title was just fine....it caught the eye and sparked everyone in here to check it out and see what he meant. Frankly, it was an excellent marketing technique. Too bad he had to waste it in here. Please, people, title your posts with vague generalizations like "A question" and "Is this normal? so we don't offend the great minds in here.

Also...some of us HAVE a sense of humor. It makes life a lot more fun.

I'm pleased to see that he received plenty of sincere replies. His OP was not meant to be ridiculing at all. The fact that you have titled yourself "Mistress" and "Ma'am" doesn't give YOU the right to sit on your mighty throne and criticise and condescend to all those who post something that doesn't meet with your personal approval. You know, for about $20 a year, you can open up a chat room in MSN and carry a golden hammer and kick out out of the chat room every person who says something that you don't like.

Okay, go ahead and puff up and scold me. Frankly, I don't give a flying fuck. Just try hard not to scold me for something that you make a habit of doing yourself. This is a public forum and we're all not your flunkies. I'll probably get moderated for flaming, too. Don't give a shit about that, either. This isn't the only message board on the internet.

uh i dunno.. i'm still griping about turning 26. Ug, i cant imagine myself past 50 as i can barely imagine myself as 26. i swear i was 22 yesterday and the day before that i was 16. Retarded and as unsignificant as it sounds, turning 26 was like being slapped in the face by time. i swear i swear i swear i was like 16 (and at the most 18) just a couple of days ago. ARG! i swear having little ones just makes time fly. Times used to go by so slow.. i had all the time in the world.. i was young.. no worries.. no responsiblities.. the world was such a big OPEN place where anything was possible.. and then i had a kid and now i'm 26. i think i will go blame my little one for being 26. Now i'm old, life isnt idealistic but realistic.. bills.. life.. problems.. arg!

AND YES i am ranting about being 26 when yall are like double my age. i'd rant in my life but they all look at me like i'm being silly = ( Cant BELIEVE i'm 26.. thats like uh.. OLD. i mean i can look at 26 with a 16 y/o perspective and 26 is old. <sigh> i think i like holding some one responsible. My little one! Its all her fault! <sigh> i'm going to have to make her wish every night bofore bed that her mommy becomes 23 (sounds like a good age) again.

Indeed! I myself turned 27 on the 29th of January, and i'm still trying to figure out how the hell that happened! 3 years from 30, my 10 year high school reunion is next year (i just figured that out last month), and somehow my niece is 11 and my nephew is 7!

Hey RiotGirl, know a good place we can hide from the rest of the CM members? I think i see a mob of people weilding paddles descending upon us!

i see one main thing;
you put the age label, before anything;
what are you top; bottom ;or old first?
get rid of the people who ,are,so skewed ,that they ,only see age and all the stigmata with it.
jesus ,was 36, when they crucified him, and for that day and age; it was peak age; even herculiese died at about 37 ;think, thats why they crucified him, at 36?;old age?;thin the populace mind-set;? just another guy? whos old and 36+?
you even use words, that go with age predjudiced like "rambling"etc.

in greece, in and around the early century ;36 was max age;
you usually died at about ,that age;
get me?;
age; sexism ;and racism; is all personal bias;
take it or leave it;
take it and be ready to die and be miserable;
ya' race-horse slave mentality exsists but, its in the eyes of the beholder;
and ,if you say no to drugs ;half the older population will die;
you feel me,yet? ;
anyway,
thats why i hate "teeny-boppers"= empty-heads,
I KNOW:
....not me ,
NoT my daughter! you say...
ETC.ETC.
,understand?!
age-bias is a very lovely; very narrow mind-set;
losers;lovem', or losem'
is all you can do,
WITH me : WITH THE first sign ,oF igno,
AND,THAT'S USUALLY FOUND OUT ON THE FIRST IMPRESSION;
cause:
DUMMYS always GIVE THEMSELVES AWAY immediately ;
;LIKE :"AW.... HE'S OLD;
ISNT ,THAT SAD....;,thats ,so DEPRESSING"
;ETC;
the better ,than it attitude;but
now....
poor you!
: you got A FULL OF CRAP ;
indecent
and fully-embarrassing individual to deal with ,
;esp.,in a crowd;
a real-full-fledged; ingo ,before you ,
so what do you do?
you can dress'em up ,but can't takem anywheres,
so i would , put them ,on my secreted ca-ca- list;
BYE.
dont EVEN be seen with THEM ,and PLEASE dont introduce them to anyone important, or
with age,SO MUCH, on their tiny minds;
youre responsible for the feebile!
like ....
who came with flakey ?
,or....
lets leave before someone we know gets here;cause,
theres a couple of real-comedians ,over there!!...

Six years difference in age must either give one clearer insight or make one considerably insecure...for I saw nothing but a sincere question being asked...one which i myself am interested in hearing other's reply.

I have found that the 20+ years i have been in this lifestyle have been marked by a series of changes and views. I jump at the opportunity to share with those younger than myself exactly what some of these changes have been. It's one small way i feel i can return to the lifestyle all that it has given to me.

I can only hope that when i hit 50, i will have changed and aquired greater insight as well as when i am 60 and 70. To me, this will indicate a clear pattern of growth. For without growth, i might as well be dead now.

One's numerical age increases...you can either embrass it and make the most of it or you can deny it and become a crabby old person.

I realize the OP's question was directed towards those 65 and older, but I felt like I should contribute something here.

We are good friends with a couple who are over 60, and they are the nicest, warmest people we've ever met in this lifestyle. We're both under 30 presently, and look up to them both in a huge way...not just in lifestyle related things, but life in general. They still have a lot to offer...to themselves, each other, their friends, family, and the lifestyle community. We can only hope to be as active in the local community as they are when we're their ages.

Does Geritol apply? I don't think so, but that's just me. Granted, they both have had health problems, but they've both said many times that these are the best years of their lives, and the numbers that happen to denote their ages won't be getting in their way any time soon. And it shows!

IMO, you're making a bigger deal of your age and what goes with it than you need to. Have fun and enjoy!
