67-year-old retiree who “likes sex” refuses to be called a “dirty old man”

One reporter spoke of the need for people to “overcome” the fact that retirees can enjoy sex, insisting that their desires should not lead to being called “dirty old”.

In a recent article for The TelegraphCosmo Landesman revealed all about her love of sex and single life at the age of 67.

He said that when it comes to sex and sexuality, Britain “has never been this open and tolerant,” but there still seems to be a stigma surrounding people of a certain age who want to be playful.

The writer stated that people can be gay, lesbian, bisexual and polyamorous or non-binary.

He said we also live in a world where you can have foot fetish and BDSM desires, but people still can’t talk about older people sharing intense moments of passion.

While there is a lot of diversity in the realm of sex games, she says the conversation about older people having sex still feels very private.

Landesman wrote: “That tolerance is tested if you are a straight male over the age of 60 and still passionate about sex. Especially if, like me, you are over 60 and single.”

“Nobody likes us. We make people uncomfortable with our comments and praise for women, young and old.

“We think we are gallant; the world thinks we are rude. At the slightest cry of our sexuality, our teenagers accuse us of being “scary” or “rude”.

“Friends teach us not to act like an ‘old bum.’ On social occasions, strangers are quick to think of us as dirty old men.

“I was called all of the above in my day and not because of anything illegal, immoral or insensitive, but because I am a 67 year old man who likes to talk about sex, think about sex, joke about sex and have sex. Sex (quote me in court) “.

The reporter admits that he has “overstepped the line” at times, admitting that “some men deserve” the criticism they receive.

But he thinks it’s “hypocritical” for “inclusive” people not to let older people talk about sex.

For example, you think you need to be able to comment on a younger woman’s attractiveness without being called “creepy.”

Even in popular culture, she said it’s not often that you see older people talking about sex.

Landesman called the issue “shrouded in stigma” that older men “face in silence”.

The writer added: “Of all the bad names that older men go by, Dirty Old Man has to be the worst …

“We are here in this supposed era of sexual tolerance, yet the very idea of ​​sex and the elderly still makes many tremble, not because of our erotic inclinations but because of our physical imperfections.

“Yes, we don’t have perfect bodies: we wobble, we hit, we fall. So ?

“We are human and our hearts are young and hungry for intimacy and passion. It is time for the company to grow and recover. “
