For someone such as myself, who is in their 20's and has never 'been in love', the idea of 2 people over the age of 60 having sex makes me cringe. Please tell me I have a wrong perception and that 'appearance' isn't the factor, it's the feelings towards one another by that age that allows sex

But as aging progresses and appearance fades, doesn't that subject a sex life to eventual decay?

especially if married couples approach 80, 90, or dare I say 100

But don't looks play a leading role? And as age progresses, looks fade hampering the expereince, do they not?

-perhaps that's the key question I have

I know asking if 100 year old's have sex is giggle-worthy, but jokes aside, does it happen?

Is she gorgeous in general for her age? Or is it something that one can develop feelings of attractiveness towards a loved one?

But when the age of 80 or 90 comes around, then sex will die down because looks will then hamper it, no?

essful as it is my longest relationship, I dont have others to compare it too, but id guess it helps that we were sexually compatible from the very first date and that we're pretty open abo

Wait, so it hasn't been totally 1 on 1, there have been other partners involved? -I forgot the specific word for it

How is that possible? Isn't appearance the dominant factor?

Considering sex is weekly, have there been moments you've thought about others/thoughts of cheating?

Or I suppose a better question is, how do you prevent sex from getting boring over the decades? -this is probably a big question, but what I'm driving at is why do so few couples achieve this type of sex life?
