I first knocked it and enjoyed it, and been knocking it for the last 50 + years.

My ole man said if it ain't broke don't try to fix it... he was smart.

If he was so smart how come he didnt make 100bn?

In the Catholic Church I'm told celibacy only counts if its with adults.

Sad but probably true!

Now that I’m well into my sixties, for the first time in my life a woman recently indicated that she was interested in me. Unfortunately for her, as I’ve aged I’ve changed from an incel to a vcel, and had to reject her as gently as I possibly could. As the ranks of us males thin more rapidly with age than females, there is a shift in the balance of sexual power. I do now have an insight into what it must be like for young women who have to continually reject male advances.

I'm pretty sure they are happier rejecting men's advances than not having any advances to reject. Something that does happen to every woman as she ages and becomes less attractive.

Making me just a little too free

Little of the woman's character is brought into focus, which might be the most beautiful part of her being.

Physical beauty can't be found in droves - anywhere and everywhere. 

But a decent character and presence is often rare.

Everyone has "character", but IMO it's not usually what men look for when assessing if they want to associate with a woman.

I worked with thousands of women during the decades I worked in heath industry, and IMO there were as many awful characters as good ones. None of which were obvious till I got to know them a while.

Miss the point and the rhetorical picture.

Whatta surprise.

No, the problem with the prostate is that it never stops growing. When man's life expectancy was only only around 40 years that wasn't a problem. Now we're living into our 70s and more, it has become a problem.

so u are saying that its normal for prostate to get bigger in our 60s???  perfectly normal.  when it gets bigger it impedes sex and extrement abilitys?

This is the same OP as the guy in love with a married Thai woman???

Some may find GG threads a bit "erratic". Not really. He strictly chooses issues of "human-interest" with a catchy headline. He knows how to strike a chord. The same concept as the editors of tabloid newspapers apply. Hardly will GG ever start a thread "has Galileo Galilei or Kopernikus contributed more to Astronomy"?.

Respect! Nothing arouses the interst of humans more than "human-interest". Except football for males and fashion trends for females, of course.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying and many men are not aware of this and fail to take action to limit the affect.

Was that a veiled criticism of the inadequacy of moderation?

 

Ye've got a good point there, pal

This all raises a very interesting question,am i going to be celibate by choice or

because i can not get any anyways?A frustrated way of life either way i think.

Years ago that would have been an issue for many but now there is internet,not only for

porn but also to meet some very (strange) people.

Just what can they do to "take action to limit the effect"? Gosh, had I know that I might still have one.

In my case it didn't impede sex, it just made it hard to pee. The cure was what impeded sex in my case.

Yes well- Urologists don't make any money out of telling you the alternative approaches do they.

Yes there are about 1000 people who have done that and it makes a very interesting read

about how much it has changed their life.

Not for me,thanks.

I had mine done under the NHS. Drs didn't make any more money out of me having surgery as it didn't cost me anything ( except in tax ).

In fact, lifestyle changes are not that difficult.

 

One can, for example, swear off chocolate pudding or crab cakes, for life, and reap positive consequences.

 

Don't just go with the flow if you think you might live a better life by finding a better way.

 

Celibacy is very underrated in our present culture.

 

Please do not knock it unless you have first tried it.

 

I have tried it, for 20 years.

 

You sound a bit nuts mate. Your discussions range from sweet 40 years olds to celibacy.

I am not exactly nuts, mate.

 

One can choose to do one of two things:

 

a. Remain celibate and reap the many rewards of this, while also paying the price of great loneliness.

b. Engage, constantly, even daily, with enticing sweet meat of about 40 years old, and wear oneself out in the process, most happily.

 

Forty-year-old women can wear out even a very young man, with their sexual appetites.  This is why these women are called cougars.

 

And so, it is up to you, if you wish to choose A or B, according to your stamina.

 

A good word of advice to you, if you are young, and you fall in love with a woman, who is 40, is to take your vitamins, drink plenty of clam juice, and eat 6 oysters every day.

 

Because, you will need to replenish your juices on a daily basis.

 

Some of us get tired of doing this, eventually.

 

Although, in the moment, this type of relationship, with a sexpot of 40, is something novel that we need to try, at least once.

 

We all, eventually, do this. I did it.  And so will you.

 

Just stock up on Gatorade, maybe, and do NOT fall in love with one of these older women, if you are young.

[Berkshire]

Maybe the OP should consider joining Incel....which stands for involuntarily celibate.  The western world is full of these guys.  Unfortunately, they don't seem like happy people.

 

[These overall themes of failure and frustration - along with anger and hate - are common on incel forums. I spoke to several young men who call themselves incel. They're in their teens or early 20s and many have experienced rejection or negative encounters with women.]
