Salacious at Sixty?

 

salacious - adjective - having or conveying undue or inappropriate interest in sexual matters (Google)

Three weekends ago, I decided to brave the elements (the possibility of contracting COVID from being in a enclosed space for almost six hours and close proximity to crying babies or mask-less regurgitating toddlers) and fly United nonstop to L.A. from Newark to celebrate my main man's birthday. Needless to say, he went from being the president of Platonic Anonymous (my club of men who are just friends, literally) to being an attentive lover within minutes of our reunion. We had been communicating via Jetsons-esque technology for two years. I'll spare you the salacious details, but I have a feeling those of you in your sixties might just be lusting to hear them.

And no, you wouldn't be alone. Upon my return, two of my close gal pals, one who is pushing sixty and the other already in her sixties texted me, desiring to know my carnal exploits with my rock star of a boyfriend, blow by blow. Shocking, I know. Naturally, I gave them exactly what they wanted to hear, which sent them reeling into a realm of envy. I felt it was the least I could do as these two women have both been married to the same men for about thirty years and seemed to crave a bit of an imagined break. Truly, one can be salacious at sixty. 

And no, there isn't anything wrong with it, either. If anything, it's all good because quality life pretty much begins at sixty. Most of my friends, those of whom who aren't wino hobbyists, that is, seem to be at their best now that they have accomplished much of what they intended to professionally, have paid up mortgages and student loans, gotten their adult kids out of the house, etc. Without these problematic ingredients, they are emerging from the abyss of stress and anxiety with smiles on their faces and the willingness to rediscover what they might've forgotten about, one of which could be mature sex with their partners. And with aids to enhance, Viagra for the guys and Estradiol for the ladies, it could very well be the best intercourse ever since most at sixty are on the experienced side. I should hope so anyway.

Yet for those too shy to delve into this area freely, there is always vicarious living through someone like me. Salacious at sixty? It is okay from any range. :).
