It is the 50th Food 4 Thought Friday, which is a major accomplishment. I am in awe of all within this blogging community that run memes. There is an extraordinary amount of work. So well done and thank you. Having said that, I usually struggle to participate in everything. But since I am trying to post every day in June, and I am on holiday, with wifi, here goes.
What I know now
What one part of your sex life today would most surprise the 18 year old you?
Probably that at the age of 55 I have sex at all. I was so naive back then and uneducated about sex. I never envisaged people as old as I am now even had sex.
What one thing might shock that younger you?
The extent to which I enjoy sex. That being with the right partner is the key to enjoyment and that we are meant to enjoy sex (not sure if that is one answer or 3).
Is there anything in the younger you’s sexual ambitions or fantasies you have not yet fulfilled?
I have probably surpassed them. Having bought the Joy of Sex shortly after my marriage when I was about 22, we spent some time trying out various sexual positions. I wish I still had a copy to check out if I have had sex in all of them. It felt slightly naughty and a bit hippy at the time. I’m not sure if anal was even in there, but if it was then I’ve done that too.
What part of the younger you’s sex life do you look back on with the most nostalgia?
Probably the ability to work all day, party all evening and still have sex at the end of the night. Because we had so much energy then. I have a hunch that Master and I would have been proper party animals if we had known each other. Because as I said at the beginning, compatibility is the key.
I think it’s possibly fair to say that, in our youthful enthusiasm, we may have had the quantity, nowadays it’s definitely the quality (although if we could fit a little more in, I doubt we’d complain…)
