Senior Singles Hooking Up Online
Disturbing perhaps, but not just because of the inevitable shattering of your perceptions of the golden generation. The real problem, according to Wired, is that generation's lack of knowledge about sexually-transmitted diseases (STDs). The article says that STDs are becoming far more prevalent in the senior community, including the surprising statistic that 30 percent of all HIV-infected people living in New York are over the age of 50.
The takeaway from all of this, of course, is that the next time you're fixing your Gramma's computer, you're better off not looking through the browser history ... you might be shocked at what you find.

You'd be surprised about younger guys looking for older women online for sex and romance..I'm not talking about a few years difference but 10-15-20 years difference. Met one lady who was 14 years older and the best I have had in bed. Older women rock...

I met my boyfriend who is 75, I am 72 online. We have been together for 3 years. He now lives with me and is so great and good to me. We plan to stay together until time ends.

I get a chuckle when someone from a younger generation thinks us seniors do now know how to get it on or want it anymore. We are after all the ones from the 60's that rocked the world at places like Woodstock etc. I know at 58 I have not forgotten how to do it. My 10 years younger partner tells me I am darn good at it too!

If I had only known in my thirties what I know now about giving good sex, in my sixties, I would have a string of hot chicks at my door!
