I’d guess that mine was about a 60 percent chance…which isn’t too bad… ---

100% (at least). ---

Does it have to be with another person? ---

Between this very moment and when I die? As close to 100% as I’m willing to estimate it (I mean, one of us could keel over as soon as I hit the button to post) Between midnight and when I die? Ditto. Between when I go to bet and when I die? 99% (The starting time is farther away more chance for something to go awry) ---

Unless I die in the next few hours (unlikely), 100%. ---

More than 99% I suppose. Basically one of us would have to die within the next few days. Or next couple of days. Or hours. What I’m saying is we’ll probably have sex soon. ---

I’m 51. I’m not with anyone at the moment, and I don’t want to be. Unless I ever feel like changing that, I’d say 0. ---

> [@Honey](#): > > I’m 51. > > I’m not with anyone at the moment, and I don’t want to be. Unless I ever feel like changing that, I’d say 0. Hey! We’re the same age. And I am not with anyone at the moment either. That said, I will probably get laid within the next several days. ---

52 and separated. To be honest sex is one of those activities that is OK, but not really near the top of my list of fun things. I like it OK, but it has ever been an urgent goal of mine to go out and get laid. It seems exciting the first few times with a new person, but then it seems to become routine and expected, like shaving or trimming your finger nails. I should maybe start a new thread. I love companionship and sharing thoughts, meals, movies, a golf game perhaps or a walk in the sun? Sex is overrated for me. I worry too much about the other person to focus on my own pleasure. And I have no problem occasionally taking care of my own pleasure. Yeah. I’m weird, I guess. ETA: After all the above I’m still 100% sure I’ll have sex again. When I’m ready. And right now I’m not. ---

So, I was listening to Penn’s Sunday School podcast, and he had a story about a guy who was involved with a woman who was into kink. And the guy loved it at first, but then just found it tiresome to have to write a script and handle all the details and so on. So, the guy told Penn that the next person he’s with, will be someone who says to him, “I’m making myself a grilled-cheese sandwich. You want one?” Yeah. I’d like 85% grilled cheese sandwich, 10% “normal”, and 5% freaky shit that’s illegal in most states. Tough to find. ---
