From the posts in this thread, it seems the main problem is hearing details of the sexual exploits. I don’t need any unfortunate mental images of blood relatives doing the wild thing when I’m trying to get all romantic with my husband. Incest taboos and all of that, you know.
It was like when my husband was hanging out and talking with his sister’s boyfriend. They were chatting when the boyfriend made some comment like, “You know, your sister is a wild woman in bed. I mean, she just…” and my husband cut him off and said he did not need to hear any of that.
Well, let’s see currently I am 47 and I have no plans on becomig celibate any time in the near future, the fact that the SO is 10 years younger than myself just might have something to do with that…just don’t tell Tristan, he turns such a interesting shade of red…and then green…hehehehhe…
I can’t see anything wrong with grandparents having sex although it is TMI if they are discussing that over dinner.
I was always under the impression that sex drive decreased to a point (in men and women) that having sex is no longer so desired. Maybe the impression I have is wrong.
While not as venerable as Louis, and still sans grandchildren, I am well within the age group considered “to old to be doing that!” :eek: I suspect Gran and Gramps had a good laugh over the incident, and probably could care less if “the kids” disapprove.
Buddy, these are MY GRANDPARENTS! I think your post has caused severe emotional scarring
And thanks everyone for replying. I figured it wasn’t physically impossible, but the fact that my dimwit grandmother actually revealed that to us made this post inevitable.
According to a book I once read, abhorance at the thought of one’s parents having sex is an innate psychological protection against incest which seems to be hardwired into our systems. It’s one reason that fathers sometimes appear over-protective of their young adult daughters when it comes to young men and dating. They refuse to see them as sexual beings, which seems to be part of our anti-incest protections.
Haha!
This reminds me of the time that I went over to my grandparents house, so my grandma could take in my wedding dress. As she was sewing, she asked my grandpa to open the window, because it was stuck shut, and when he opened it, she said “Thanks honey…I don’t know what I’d do without you!” Grandma was quiet, then leaned over to my mom and said “Probably masturbate a lot!” Mom busted out laughing, Grandma got embarassed, and I sat there thinking “Oh my! Did he really say that?”
I asked my mom when we left, and she confirmed it. It freaked me out for a minute, but then I thought “Hey! Go Grandma and Grandpa! I hope I’m that lucky when I get to be their ages.”
I’ve got 2 tales to tell. Sit here with me, by the fire…
Several years ago, a good friend of mine was living with his grandmother. Her husband (his grandfather) had died a few years previously, and Nanna was starting to date. No worries… although Nanna is a frail, tiny woman, she’s a deadly shot and is probably one of the oldest women with a CCW I’ve ever met.
So one day, she asks my friend if he would mind staying at my house on Friday. No problem, but he’s curious why…
She tells him. Her date is planning on coming over after they have the date, and she doesn’t want him uncomfortable… since she has plans.
He still gets red if you mention it to him.
Tale 2 is not quite so funny, as it’s no relation. But still good.
I worked as a Certified Nurses Aide for a year in Montana, and worked with an older woman (like 62) who was quite cool.
We had an elderly woman, 57 or so, come in presenting with acute abdominal pain. I was there when Doris informed her son and daughter-in-law that Mom had PID.
DIL says in a shocked tone “That’s impossible, she’s like 57.” Doris replies… “I’m 62, and I can assure you that it’s entirely possible.”
