Men Speaking Truthfully… No, Really

Wanted to mix it up with a video about dating Over 50.  And frankly, most of what’s out there is very amateurish, people just talking into the camera, not making a whole lot of sense, losing track of where they are in their list of points, even getting interrupted by barking dogs.

This video from 2ndAct.tv is a very well done, professional piece. It features a few men talking with an interviewer about what they’re looking for, and a group of women discussing their experiences with a (male) therapist.  It’s worth the six minutes or so to take a look (and you won’t need your reading glasses!).

“Female Viagra” Is No Miracle Drug

As we just dealt with improving male sexual response, it’s now the ladies’ turn (and we’ll pass up the obvious joke opportunities…).  You may have heard that an FDA panel has recommended approval of the drug Flibanserin, popularly known as Female Viagra.  Which sounds great. Except, as as this article from Vox explains, the drug offers very minimal results (one additional “sexually satisfying event” per month) with a pretty high chance of side effects (low blood pressure, dizziness, fainting).  Critics call the whole thing a marketing ploy by Big Pharma, just looking for a new product to sell.

Can Sex Get Better As We Age?

Never too old for great sex is the theme of this article from Sharecare.com.  It’s aimed at guys, but women may want to check it out, too. And whether male or female, do your Kegels while you read it, and you’ll both be better off…

I don’t know if it’ll come up this way on your browser, but on mine the post was accompanied by a huge ad for Cialis.  I guess that’s Plan B if the article doesn’t help…

The Drug Store at Our Age: Awkward!

Had dinner with my friend Andy last night.  He’s in his sixties, looks and acts much younger.  Widowed a few years ago, Andy’s begun dating, so we always compare notes.  In fact, via Match.com, he was in touch with the same woman who had emailed me she looked great naked, but turns out neither one of us got the chance to confirm her opinion.

Passing by a CVS on the way to eat, Andy mentioned how awkward he feels going into a drug store to buy condoms.   With all the choices available now, you need to carefully study the various packs, but the longer you stand there fondling the merchandise, the more embarrassing it is.  Of course, as teenagers, having to ask the pharmacist for a pack was pretty embarrassing, too.  Anyone else remember a particularly funny scene in the 1971 film, “Summer of ’42”?

To me, the easiest solution is to buy them on amazon.  Read all the info on all the styles, read the reviews, make an informed decision from the comfort and privacy of your home.
