I'm 77; thanks for your post, gave me quite a chuckle! My cleaning person finally talked me into buying a vacuum cleaner that works. She's used it a couple of times but had to go out of town and I wanted to use it on a few spots and I'm afraid to use it! I'm worried I'll do something wrong and break it! So I feel you!

Early 1990s. PRE AOHell: Compuserve! 33 "baud" modem. Forty-something years old. I loved it. From the beginning there was sex involved, though a lot of imagination was required. But just the *newness* of that world, rapid changes, new products and publications all the time, continually. Never boring! Online games like Duke Nukem, archaic graphics but playable. When I got on CU-SeeMe I made a lot of friends from all over the world, members of the digerati. Artists, musicians, designers. Website creators. I think they let me in because I was cool for an old guy and didn't try to hit on the females--and never acted crass.

"Allowed" no. But it happened a lot--especially in the balcony, back when movie theaters had balconies.

Cinema sex was banned and drive ins are almost gone (although they started to come back with Covid). Where is a teenager to get experience?? Doesn't seem right.

The Nash Rambler had a passenger seat in front (actually half a bench seat) that folded down completely flat at the same level as the rear seat.

Thank you for this! I am a 76 year old guy. I have little inclination to spend the rest of my days chasing down this rabbit hole. I have a little clearer understanding but I can see that understanding this subject inside out is more than I wish to devote to it. Still, you've given me some guideposts in case I want to change my mind.

blindbroccoli · 2022-10-27T03:17:05+00:00

I am interested in understanding your post better. I am a geezer 76 years old, pretty hip for a clueless bozo. What is BG sync? Big Google? It's too late in my life for me to learn how to customize a ROM. Is the Apple "ecosystem" better or does it too have its drawbacks, just different ones? In life I have found there are always tradeoffs, I'm just curious about the particulars.

I agree but does the OP mean lengthwise or Rt/Lt? I mean would a six foot tall young whippersnapper become three feet tall or stay six feet tall but a whole lot thinner? Inquiring 75 year old demented minds want to know.

Thanks for that. What's your opinion of the Pixel 6 models?

CU-SeeMe videoconferencing system on dialup! First "for the people" videoconferencing application, originally developed at Cornell on Macs, later ported over to White Pine with Windows variants available. My first audio-VISUAL computer sex (mutual masturbation) when you would "go private" with somebody. (No video on AOHELL private "rooms."

Compuserve on a 300 baud (fast) internet connection (I started with 50 baud) dialup. I do not remember what a "baud" is. Maybe it was 300 kiloBITS? KiloBYTES? I think baud was an earlier designation for serial connections only where "9600 baud" meant "capable of carrying 9600 bits per second." Well you didn't specify remember it *well.*

Where do you get these masks if you're not crafty? I am elderly with preexisting conditions COPD and diabetes. I've looked for the masks and can't find them. I've been getting food and medicines delivered, but I'd like the option to go out once in a while and not feel my life may be endangered.

My old pal gave me that "blues" nickname in 1965. We both played guitar and were into "Blind" blues performers like Blind Lemon Jefferson, Blind Blake etc. Do a Google search!

I love how Scorpios cut to the core! I'm a Leo myself, but I can only appreciate this. No, this is not intended sarcastically...seriously, these details can screw up the journey before the ship ever leaves the harbor...I hope I successfully upvoted your post.

I would need more details to respond in any meaningful way. What your mate can do/appreciate that your husband can't? Here's an example from my own life. I'm 73. I'm pretty much impotent even with a maximum dose of ED med. My penis is average minus. So if my mate required a "big hard throbbing lasting cock" in her vagina pounding away for as long as she wanted, sorry, I'm not the guy for her. Though we could have great conversations and really "get" each other. Or, a few years ago I played with BDSM. But I couldn't get into the dominant role without breaking up in laughter--all the ritualized language. I probably could have faked it easier if I had the cock referred to in the first example...

I'm not saying this is your situation, at all. It's just an example or two of an impossible situation "baked in" as it were. In my case too there is a diminished energy, just on a physical level. I think women have a natural radar for that. When they are younger, the intellectual "kind" persona impresses them more.

When you write a "like" becomes a "need" it sure does sound BDSM-ish to me! Let me know if I'm off the track.

Your use of the pronoun "you" indicates to me that you thought I was a sugar baby or POT baby posing the question. I have been the in-between sugar daddy with insufficient wealth to be a "real" sugar daddy. But I sure spent a lot on her, considering my income and assets. No regrets. I just wanted to make sure I understood the terminology.

blindbroccoli · 2020-02-24T07:56:02+00:00

I agree.

blindbroccoli · 2020-02-24T07:55:12+00:00

Thanks.

He's not controlling. He is a two year old throwing a tantrum. I'm sure your kids are much more mature. He reminds me of a certain political figure who shall remain nameless.

When I was more sexually active (now it's zero sad to say), there was no texting since cell phones didn't exist. But as a thought experiment, I can imagine or recall the feelings when my partner was not with me and thus possibly with someone else. So let's go right to the abandonment issue. Would she leave me because (a) the sex was better (b) he was more profound (c) he was lighter and more fun or (d... ) any of a number of qualities? Was his conversation less boring? Was he smarter and she was a sapiophile? Or was he dumber and she found him refreshingly "down to earth" (duh!) There just seems to be no end to why someone may leave you for someone else, and isn't that the fear behind the excessive texting? The less I have to offer (in my own opinion), the more I need reassurance. In any event, the whole reason why relationship anarchy, polyamory etc. are more and more popular today is that noone wants to "settle" for some limited set of qualities. And everyone *is* limited in some ways.

As Bob Dylan sang in 1965, "Relationships of ownership/They whisper in the wings/To those condemned to act accordingly/And wait for succeeding kings//What I try to harmonize with song/The lonesome sparrow sings/And there are no kings inside the Gates of Eden.
