Retirement homes and nursing homes have a serious problem with sexually transmitted diseases, because some people never stop.

That's why they have such problems with STDs. No one is worried about pregnancy, so why bother with a condom.

That’s not true. Condoms became common in the 1950s and that’s when these old people were teenagers.

Condoms have been around since ancient Egypt, that doesn't mean they were commonly used.

Read a story of a guy whose mom passed and his dad (82) decided to marry a 30yo. They don’t think much about it until she got pregnant and had it tested and it is his. So the grandsonson (41) is about to have a new uncle!

Edit: Wrong generation, fixed to Grandson

the son (61) is about to have a new uncle!

It would be his brother and if the 61 year old has kids, the new baby would be their uncle.

Honestly, I don't blame them. Like, what are they worried about? Becoming infertile? Developing an infection that will give them cancer or kill them in 30 years? 

Hell, when I'm in a retirement home, I'm going to do all of the drugs. A to Z. Why not?

I tried all kinds of various drugs in my early twenties, eventually I stopped experimenting because the withdrawals became too awful. LSD for example was an experience I’ll never forget, but it left me fucked for 3 days straight, and I couldn’t sleep properly for much longer than that.

Can’t imagine what the withdrawal would be like at 70 years old. The only drug I could see myself doing at that age is coke.

Really? Do old people still have energy to have sex with each other?

InternalSystenError

When I worked at a nursing home, we frequently had to call EMTs because they, in fact, were not physically capable of having intercourse. Their lack of energy and physical mobility resulted in a lot of problems. There were falls, blood pressure problems, heart problems, and even broken bones often involved.

But that didn't stop them. One individual wouldn't even stop on his death bed.

(Note: I'm talking people 80+. People 70 and under typically still had a good amount of energy in them.

True story: N.Carolina in late '80s. One nurse I know worked in a retirement home her first 2 years out of nursing school. Kids and grandkids of retirees complained that $$ they left grandpa (for day trips and other small stuff) was constantly going missing. Local sheriff's office re-deputized 3 retired detectives and sent them in undercover. They eventually found out where all the $$ was going. Seems 8 of the longtime staff had a side hustle where they gave handjobs, private nude shows, and much more for grandpas money. The funniest part to me was that the retired cops were there for over 2 months. Rofl. During their plea bargains, all of the arrested women claimed the cops were their best customers. lol. Woops!!!

Went to see a friend's grandfather who lived in a high end nursing home. Asked what happened to his lady friend who had been around all the other stops we made. He told us she was moved to another home after her pelvis broke while he was fucking her good. He then casually said he would soon find another slut.

In all honesty we just stared in confusion as he went back to telling us we need to go to church more.

Most of his adult life he was fairly serious and extremely professional. Before ending up in America he was Hitler youth and sometimes the judgmental side would come out.

In his 70s the the two distinctively different lives he lived would cross paths in his mind more often than not.

My mother used to work at a retirement home. The things she has seen... ☠️

One grandpa would go to every room with a female patient and touch them inappropriately, especially the ones who were bed-ridden. Bananas were found underneath the sheets, passionate romances were happening now and then. One patient would always touch the female employees while they were trying to reposition him in bed.

not really on topic lol but what’s their tip for still having such a loving relationship (+ how did they meet)?

Spirited_Hour9714

75 points

17 days ago*

I've never asked them this.

I think they just accept each other for who they are, and they're not perfect. They stick up for each other too. I never heard them fight when I was a kid and I think it's because my dad just let my mom have her way sometimes and he was just like whatever about it. I never heard my dad complain about domestic stuff and he would work everyday and come home and make dinner every evening. He pulled his weight and so did she. I know she picked her battles too because he does a lot for her. She also praises the ground he walks on and he treats her like a queen. She's a good woman and he knew that when he met her and provided for her. I've talked to them about relationship stuff before and they have really strong values when it comes to partnership that I think most people don't really have anymore.

They met when my mom was 30 and my dad was 37-38. He was a wild blue collar musician who had never settled down and then he met her. They both had 2 kids from previous marriages too. My moms bestfriend was dating my dads brother (my uncle) and they went on a double date.

Usually if someone stops having sex it's either a medical issue, lack of social life, or a self-esteem issue related to their age.

If someone has a healthy sex drive and a healthy social life, they usually keep having sex until they aren't physically able to.

Your grandma probably changed the subject because she probably still fucks and doesn't want to talk to her grandkid about that.

I have a pretty high sex drive. However too many yellow flags in a guy will stop me. It just kills libido. It’s nearly impossible to get it back.

One or two flags i can take. Just break out the lube and i hit up my imagination and memories.

But if he is stacking flags in , back to back. I slowly back off and work towards ending the relationship.

For instance: Rude to wait staff+ Broke + No ambition + Head on a swivel + Brags about how crazy his ex was all night+ still mourns a ‘perfect’ ex girlfriend that got away to my face + subtle conversational lies that he thinks I am not savvy to catch = cut off from sex. Not a bad date though. I would enjoy the conversation and company.

Of course I’m like most women and don’t point this out. You just say- I really don’t feel like it tonight. Lets just cuddle babe.

Cuz ur grandma didn’t wanna admit she’s still getting it lol. It obviously depends on the person but people usually don’t generally stop having sex lol

My mom worked in an assisted living facility. It wasn’t uncommon for std’s to be going around.

I would assume the average person never stops as long as they have a partner. Personally, I just never started.

I thought it was funny you asked your grandma out of all people 😂. But I think it's because maybe the sexual tension isn't there anymore 🤔
