As do I agree. I still cringe days later. It’s punching down, ageist and deeply misogynistic.
Agree w the chorus of boos. There’s probably some ~75yo guy that has the hots for her. And vice versa. Like the song says, they get it on most every night.
Just a little earlier in the evening than 50 years ago. ![]()
Nude beaches aren’t about sex, but also sex doesn’t end when you turn 30, 50, or even 75.
… It just involves a whole deal more of “big Pharma” .

First, I didn’t say that I found it good or bad. It was more about an elderly person doing something more akin to what you would expect a younger person would do. Which is in another thread I’ve been posting in.
And I was 40 years old at the time and never saw an elderly person naked on the beach before, in fact I had never been to a nude beach before (or since), it’s just not my thing. So I’m still not certain about nude beaches and whether they are an young or old person thing. At the time I had just assumed that they were a young person thing.
My actual thought at the time was that this woman was totally free spirited and that whether I found her attractiveor not didn’t cross her mind. And that she was taking a risk of skin cancer. So it stuck in my mind.
Finally my point was that Barcelona can be warm enough to go to the beach in February.
When reading your lines, one does not get the impression that you perceived the situation positively, as if you wanted to provoke a similar reaction to @pirviii, a clearly sexist tongue-in-cheek. “She was like 75…” What impression are you trying to convey? Why 75? Did you ask her? Sunbathing naked at the beach has nothing to do with age. There are no designated nude beaches in Barcelona. You can lie on the beach however you want. Maybe you come from a culture where things are handled differently. Maybe the situation was embarrassing for you because you’re not used to it and you wouldn’t lie on the beach naked. Different countries, different customs. Tolerance would be appropriate here.
My apologies to @SenorBeef for the thread hijack. I wish you well in Spain, it’s a great country and one that I considered. Myself I am still going to the Philippines.
Along the costal region of Spain the weather isn’t nearly as harsh as metro Detroit.
