Sizzling senior sex requires a couple to be sensitive to each other. Most things especially our bodies and attitudes change over time. The BIG THREE issues of aging are Weight, Wrinkles, and Worry.

Weight: Probably the most detrimental decision any senior can make is to say, “What’s the use.” and give in to bad eating habits, no exercise and steady weight gain. It’s a killer. Obesity shortens life span, increases health problems, diminishes one’s sense of self worth, deflates libido, and often serves as a big turn off to a spouse. Eat less, exercise more, don’t give in to unhealthy geezer thinking.

Wrinkles: If beauty and worth have been linked to external attractiveness then the slow inevitable occurrence of wrinkles will send some folk into dark downward spiral. Life long sun exposure without enough sunscreen will often add 10-15 years of wrinkles to our flesh giving us the crunched up paper bag look. Wrinkles are a part of the aging package so we have to make peace with them. Wear them proudly! You earned them.

Worry: There is a large amount of clinical evidence that indicates worry makes us feel and even look older than we are. It actually takes more muscles to frown than to smile. Some people look so sour you think they were weaned on persimmons. As we age there are more life issues to worry about so it becomes important to follow the suggestions I have made in other articles about state of mind and happiness.

Weight, Wrinkles and Worry can affect Sizzling Senior Sex if we let it. The best counter measure to problems from the BIG THREE is talking.

Some couples have never been comfortable talking about sex. Now is the time. SSS is worth the effort.

When you are ready to talk about this sex thing and even re-ignite the flame, check out “Sex and the Senior: 7 Secrets of Sizzling Senior Sex” by visiting SizzlingSeniorSex.com SizzlingSeniorSex.com

  • Marriage: The Life Mate Marriage

    Marriage partners sometimes decide to be life mates. Read on to discover what a life mate relationship looks like.

    Signs of the Life Mate Marriage

    Life mates can be a viable and fulfilling life for many couples. Here is what the life mate marriage can look like:

    Couples are comfortable with each other, much like an old pairs of jeans
    Couples love and care deeply about each other, though typically are not in love
    They have not settled, they have settled into a relationship that is comfortable
    There are occasional flashes of passion, but for the most part couples are good friends

    What to Do

    The life mate marriage can be a viable, happy and fulfilling option. You have the security of a long term relationship with someone who still has your best interest at heart.

    I’m reminded of an elderly British couple that once lived across the street from me. You could set your watch by them walking their dogs every morning and evening. Married for 50 years and having lived on two continents, they had settled into a relationship that was comfortable and meaningful to both of them.

    The life mate marriage is not a sentence, it is a privilege in which to go through life and grow old.

  • What is Love

    Have you ever been in love? Some people are not quite sure. Other people say that they know they are in love now, so what they thought was love in the past must not have been. Knowing if you are in love is not always easy because love is such a complex emotion.

    For centuries, artist, poets, philosophers, writers, and musicians have tried to define love through their work. Romantic notions of love express it as a quality of devotion that one feels towards another person. Yet the meaning of love for each person is highly complex. Here are some examples of how it has been expressed

    “Love does not consist in gazing at each other but looking in the same direction together.” – Antoine de Saint–Exupery

    “One word frees us of all the weight and pain in life. That word is love.” – Sophocles

    “Love sees with the heart and not the mind; therefore; winged cupid is painted blind.” – William Shakespeare

    “My love there’s only you in my life… You’re every breath that I take; you’re every step I make.” – Lionel Richie,

    “My love is like a red rose, that’s newly sprung in June, My love is like the melodies, that’s sweetly play’s in tune.” —Robert Burns

    “You say that you love me like a river, a river you say will never run dry…Don’t use that magical, mysterious, intoxicating, joy, fantastic, fascinating word called love unless you love me to the nines…the kind of love that takes over your body, mind and soul.” —Prince

    “Love is the answer, but while you are waiting for the answer, sex raises some pretty good questions.” —Woody Allen

    “Love cannot be explain, it can only be understand” – Syed Qutubuddin

    Another reason why it’s so difficult to define love is that many people confuse it with the feelings of lust. Love makes you feel energized, content, and emotionally stable. Lust makes you feel anxious, jealous, and possessive. Lust, or infatuation, is based on sexual attraction. At first when you meet someone you are attracted to, you may feel a strong connection and label it as love or even, maybe, as love at first sight. But what you are most likely feeling is attraction, of lust.

    If you only wants to have sex with someone you love, then how are you going to be sure that you love someone? Most often, time is the factor that answers this question. If you let several months pass and you still feel love for the person then you might be more certain that your feelings are real. As your involvement with the person grows, you may feel a deeper affection and a need to bond ever more with the person. In this case, love may grow into attachment.

    With each person, the feelings of “falling in love” will be new type of sensation sometimes you fall in love with a friend you have known for years. Sometimes you fall in love with stranger you see across a crowded room. No two loves are alike

    According to psychologist Richards Sternberg’s theory of love, true love is based on a balance of three elements: commitment, intimacy, and passion. He explained that if any of those elements is missing you could still have love, yet different kind of love. The following illustration explains.

    Because there are so many different types of love, and because everyone defines love so differently, it will be helpful to your relationship if you explain to your partner the type of love you feel. I’m hopeful that you will both understand each other maybe ever feel similar types of love for each other!

    Intimacy = FRIENDSHIP

    Passion = INFATUATION

    Commitment = EMPTY LOVE

    Passion Intimacy = ROMANCE

    Passion Commitment = LUSTFUL RELATIONSHIP

    Commitment intimacy = COMPANIONSHIP

    Commitment intimacy Passion = TRUE LOVE
