Mature dating websites for the over sixties – Are you catching up on missed opportunities?

We read with interest the latest news from Australia…senior retirement facilities are becoming hotbeds of passion as many senior citizens are enjoying active sex lives ..often with more than one partner.

The article published on 12th July 2010 shares research and findings from care homes in Australia:

Senior citizens in Australia’s old-age homes and retirement facilities are leading active but ‘risky’ sex lives and most of them have more than one active partner.

A research in Australia, which surveyed 320 men and women, has found that sexual activity among the 82-87 age group is “reasonably common”, while online dating by people over 50 was also growing.

However, experts from the Council on the Ageing say that the seniors need to be schooled in safe sex, and have called for workshops and guideline policies to be implemented into aged-care and retirement facilities to help staff deal with “promiscuous behaviour”, The Age reported.

Old-age homes have reported a jump in the number of over 65s leading an active sex life, including multiple partners, and they were more likely to engage in risky sexual behaviour than their children, Council spokeswoman Anne-Maire Elias said.

“They were a generation who missed out on all the safe-sex education,” she said. “We love that these older people are sexually active but, with an increase in Viagra and multiple partners, aged-care facilities should welcome safe-sex workshops for their residents.”

Ken Gleeson, a behavioural consultant, who is scheduled to publish a document titled “Sexuality in the Elderly: Intimacy and Sexual Policy”, said staff tended to put sexual behaviour among the elderly in the “too hard” category.

“There is a widespread belief among workers that the elderly should not be participating in sexual activities,” he said.

One of the questions we have heard several times in the context of dating of the over sixties is a question that you might not consider at first. We’ve framed up the question below and some of the responses we’ve heard….we’d love your views too…what do you think?

If you’re looking for over 50′s/ over 60′s friends and the natural friendship extension is dating for the over fifites/ sixties:

- Would you go on holiday with your different sex friend ( and I mean only Friend at this stage).  Think this through in some detail…. what would you do and more importantly how would you feel if He/She was up dancing all night and left you sitting there with your drink. What would happen if you or your friend were to meet someone and one of you were left to walk about for the rest of the holiday alone?

Some answers we’ve heard are…

I’ve been on holiday with my different sex friend (just friend), and we had a great time. Why on earth would there be a problem if one of us fancied someone while on the holiday? That happens whether your holiday companion is same sex or not.

Depends who was paying for the holiday!!

It is down to the context and expectations. As a friend, I’d expect them to be considerate and think about how I felt.

We’d love to hear your views…what would do..have you had that experience…share your experiences here on the blog or in the discussion forums at Senior Dating UK
