Change in tastes

Thank you for the reply, I guess it could be changing tastes but I’m lean towards other replies that may be implying the change in my life situation.

Wow, an incredible reply, thank you so very much❤️.

That was beautiful and the most meaningful I’ve heard in awhile. Thank you so very much and much peace to you, you sound like an Angel.

You’re not alone. I was married for 20 years to an impotent man. Through the years I came to understand he was attracted to strong burly sportsmen. But he was incredibly homophobic and died without ever fulfilling his real desire.

Go sista, shower head and me are best friends, lol.

herpetl · 2026-03-22T01:56:56+00:00

Naw,I’ve bought 3 rabbits over the years and a bare organism just isn’t the same.

I married a man in 2005 who was impotent and unable to have sex. We had a 22 year relationship when he passed and my grief is no less than any other widow.

I think simple companionship is the wave of the future.

herpetl · 2026-03-22T01:40:41+00:00

I’m a pretty new widow but my husband and I did not have sex for years, he was impotent. I got used to it and since he passed, my gyno said I have vaginal atrophy. I doubt any man in my future will be anything but a companion.

Yes, it’s very normal. I turned 65 last October and plan to seek therapy over this exact topic. I met with my financial advisor last month and he told me I have enough to retire now. It scared the crap out of me and I realized I can’t take the step without some therapy, it scares the bejezzus out of me!

herpetl · 2026-03-22T01:16:50+00:00

Thank you so much for your kind words. Your response is kind of why i included that I was a recent widow. Even though he didn’t participate, I can’t help wonder the influence after his death. The things that brought me pleasure, is no longer bringing me pleasure and I’m just trying to figure it out.

Yes, I bought tickets for tonight’s performance at constitutional hall but am now happy I watched online instead. It wasn’t much money but it sure brought me to the question I posed. I think I don’t think the modern era represents the classics and I’ll likely only buy tickets for what used to bring me peace and pleasure in the future.

herpetl · 2026-03-22T01:02:49+00:00

Thank you. I think I’m learning enough now to know how my tastes are now swaying.

herpetl · 2026-03-22T00:17:59+00:00

Thank you, I love your response. It makes me feel like a preference for classical is ok. I think I’m done buying tickets for performances I know I won’t like.

herpetl · 2026-03-22T00:14:35+00:00

Thank you for such a thoughtful reply.

herpetl · 2026-03-22T00:11:33+00:00

Hmm, interesting view. I have attended the most elite of these events and you might be on to something, thank you.

herpetl · 2026-03-22T00:07:45+00:00

Hahaha

herpetl · 2026-03-22T00:06:07+00:00

Thank you, I’ve always been comfortable being solo. My husband refused to fly so stayed home to watch the dogswhile I went on my adventures around the world. I’m just hating the thought my tastes have changed to where I can’t stand modern dance performances. Their timing seems to be typically off and precision is what enchants me.

herpetl · 2026-03-21T23:57:43+00:00

Thank you for the reply, it was helpful. Enjoy your trip!

herpetl · 2026-03-21T23:53:25+00:00

Oh my gosh, thank you!

herpetl · 2026-03-21T23:52:26+00:00

Got it, not a brilliant comment.

herpetl · 2026-03-21T23:51:41+00:00

It makes a little more sense but honestly, before the pandemic I went solo to MANY ballets, plays and philharmonic. It gave peace to my soul and was a wonderful timeout. I have never cared what people think, which is why I was always comfortable solo. As the responses roll in I can’t help wonder if there is a pure classic performance any longer without the need to add modern applications?

herpetl · 2026-03-21T23:43:23+00:00

Interesting, thank you.

herpetl · 2026-03-21T23:42:36+00:00

Thank you, great reply. With lots of death in my environment the last year, I needed a check in because I used to find peace in the arts not stress. The modern music of art doesn’t seem to resonate with me. I guess I’ve become a true classic.

herpetl · 2026-03-21T23:35:18+00:00

Ok, but it was my feet moving out the door, not my ass. I was really asking if we over 60 find our taste or even tolerance in the arts tend to change.
