Sex Now

 

Speaking for only myself,

sex now different

as,

me near seventy-seven

she near sixty-seven.

 

Now thought of

in different terms.

Sex thought of now

more so as an act of love

than that of passion.

 

Speaking for only myself,

sex now thought in

terms of closely held,

personal quiet intimacy.

 

Sex now rarely concluded

as those long gone younger days.

In honesty,

more often than not,

concluded now

without sexual  gratification .

 

However,

speaking for only myself,

these loving times of…

 

These loving times of

personal quiet intimacy:

of nude body to body,

chest to breast,

mouth to mouth interludes

with barely heard

whispered words of love,

though most probably

concluded without sexual  gradification,

speaking for only myself,

sex now,

love now

as sweet as those younger days.

It is somewhat surprising that 4 ladies reviewed this poem and no men. Perhaps the men did not care to share how really different sex is after 60 or so. I am 70 and it's certainly different. As a teen, I was way out of control and that continued in my twenties. Then every five years frequency mattered less and quality mattered much more. Now, even with occasional physical sex, our quiet times sharing thoughts are more meaningful and even more sexy. Imagine that? LOL

Love is expressed in many ways -- sex being only one of these. Things may change with time, but the closeness and intimacy remain. ~Your friend, Lizzie

I love this poem. It shows that love can be shared just by being there with each other and cuddling and whispering sweet love words. There is so much more to love than sexual fulfilment. This kind fills my heart.

You nailed it, Mark! I'm quite certain you've echoed the thoughts of more than a few of us!Sometimes just quiet cuddling is more than enough!

Your friend,
