Ahhhh....to be ?years old again.

[+ purplekow]

When I was 25 years old, my 28 year old roommate told me that it was all down hill from there. In many ways he was right. 25 is the pinnacle of physical fitness for most people and it certainly is an vibrant time in one's life, but at 25 I had little insight into the real world and my place in it. As birthdays roll by, I often give a passing thought to the age I would most like to have maintained. Now, as I have recited endlessly on this forum, I was, with 2 experimental exceptions, living a straight life until the death of my late wife. It took me some time to then even consider being with a man and then only after I found sexual relations with women just plain boring and unsatisfactory.

So all you men out there who came out early, I imagine youthful exuberance may play heavily on your personal choice of the age to maintain ad infinitum. For me, it is 38. It is a great age. Old enough and mature enough to know what you want and how to get it. Young enough to be actually able to get up and get it. So for me, I would be quite happy being 38 again and again and again. Other thoughts.

I think I've always been 40, since I was about 12 years old.

I have spent most of my life involved with wife and children. Not until 59 did the panic of my mortality hit me. I was also at that time strongly drawn to explore my sexuality regarding other men. All through my life a knew I had some desires with guys but never really gave it too much thought. I would never want to be 59 again, given the thoughts etc that crowded my mind as I struggled with who I was.

 

Now at 60, I have become a regular gym goer and have lost 60 lbs. I feel great about myself. I have slowly been exploring sex and my desires for about 6 months, through this site, forum and with hiring. This year has been a fantastic journey filled with panic, obsessive behavior, much joy, much sadness, much guilt, and as I move forward....I think this means I'm ALIVE.

 

I would that I could be moving down my journey forever. 60 is the age Iwould like to hold onto.....unless 61 is better LOL.

PK… Sounds good to me... plus we get to outdo Jack Benny by one year...

So in how many years will you actually be turning 40?

Makes me look forward to being 60… well almost!

 

However, as a child having gone to parochial school we were always taught that the perfect age was 33… that being the age to which Jesus lived…

 

Romann just turned 33…

 

Hint… Hint… Think he might just be at his peak???!!!

 

Perhaps we should take advantage!!!!

I'd love to have the physical/sexual stamina I had in my 20's (not to mention the waistline), but there's no way I'd go back otherwise.

At the risk of sounding sacreligeous (sp?), There seemed to be some flogging involved if I remember my catechism correctly.

Anniversaries - Not Birthdays

 

I agree that 38 or 39 is an optimum age - a good balance of wisdom and physical youth. Of course very few of us would want to go back in age unless we could keep all the wisdom we've garnered over the years. Who wants to repeat the pain and disappointment of bad experiences, some caused by our own naivetes. However, I think we'd all like to recapture the feeling of youth which I think is the anticipation and excitement of doing something for the first time. As a kid it might be as simple as riding a roller coaster for the first time. As we get older, it requires bigger events and so there are fewer and fewer "first-times" to look forward to.

So, I've stopped having birthdays, I just celebrate the anniversary of my 39th birthday. This is not a new concept for sure but it can do wonders for your attitude. I'm on my 20th anniversary and I have plenty of new experiences to look forward to. Ok - Ok, I admitt I have a tendency to repeat my favortie experiences but if I change them up just a bit, I can look at them in a totally new way. They become new experiences with all the excitement and anticipation I want and I get to keep what ever wisdom I've garnered. I can feel forever young because tomorrow will bring another new adventure if I want to look for it.

You may want to celebrate the anniversary of a different age - it doesn't matter what you pick. Just keep looking for those new experiences. Most of them you have to create. They won't necessarily find you.

How true... and at the risk of sounding even more profane it was indeed my parochial school background that introduced me to the wide world of S&M... and at variety of levels... and that begins with the pseudo-sadistic manner we were treated by the sisters, brothers, and at times even the priests... and if it were not physical torture that was dished out it certainly was of the mental variety. In addition, add in all the stories about persecution and torture at the hands of the Romans and others.. and we won't even visit the Spanish Inquisition where the tables were turned... and you kind of get the idea!

 

Sorry for the detour... now hopefully back on topic...

[whipped guy]

Take the test...

 

Wanting to get us back on topic... and I have posted this previously... but do check out the website www.realage.com and take the test... it will theoretically determine what your real age is as opposed to your chronological age... or at least give you and approximation. You might be pleasantly surprised that you might actually be younger than your actual age... and if not it will give you pointers to try and add some years to your life expectancy. Give it a shot!!!

I'd love to go back to my early thirties based on the physique that I had, the sexual experiences encountered, and I'd say for my physical stamina in general. Because I came out late-- I think I missed out on many opportunities as well as experiences that I CANNOT have at my present age and state of physique; I'm over 60. -

Every age that I have been through had its good and bad points. Seventeen was incredibly exciting--the age at which I came out and went away to college, but I was also still somewhat confused about my identity and made some foolish choices. Twenty-one was exciting--I was on my own, free to indulge all my appetites, but too young to have the means to do so fully, and actually pretty shy. At twenty-five, I had established my future career and was settling down into a solid relationship, but I had already had some disappointments, and I was starting to realize that decisions I had made were already cutting off the endless possibilities that I had looked forward to when I was younger. At thirty, I was probably at the height of my ability to attract the men who turned me on sexually, but I also was feeling desperate at the realization that I was becoming locked into the path of the rest of my life. At thirty-five, I had become more comfortable with the choices I had made, but I was starting to lose the physical attraction that had been so important to my lifestyle. At forty, I was financially secure and happy in my career and personal relationships, but there were whispers of a new disease that was going to change everything in my world. At fifty, I felt that my best years were behind me, but at sixty, I retired, excited that I had a chance to start a whole new phase of life, with more freedom than I had ever had before, and without the sexual obsessions that had steered my choices when I was young.

 

In many ways, my age right now (67) is the best. Looking back, I see that I have done all the things that I REALLY wanted to do, have fulfilled my responsibilities, have enough financial resources to do the relatively modest things I still care about, I live where I want to, have enough health to do what I want to, and have good friends my own age who feel pretty much the same way. I don't want to be any younger age.

[gp0560]

So in how many years will you actually be turning 40?

 

Oh, my dear sweet Whipped Guy, if you only knew! Thank you, you are almost as gracious as Greatness!

[KMEM]

I would like to be 35-45. However, I smoked then and would not want to go back to doing that. Plus, I would want to know (almost) everything I know now, so, I guess I am stuck at whatever age I happen to be (just like everyone else).

 

I agree I could do most every thing at say 40 that I could before but I think the "world" does not give "respect" to those very much younger, whether they deserve it or not. Age does not necessarily bring wisdom but it generally does bring respect.

 

Best regards,

KMEM

Today the President is 49. I am pleased that I am still younger than the president, but only by two years. I remember when I discovered that I was the same age as my Dr....Damn...I got to get a new Dr. .

 

Anyway, I pretty much still feel like I am a kid (most times)...

My dad always said the started counting backwards at 39 which worked well, he was 35 & and I way 7. Then he was 30 and I was 12. Then he was 25 and I was 17. Then he was 21 and SO WAS I!

 

I think I want my 22 year old waist, my 37 year old maturity, and my 50 year old bank account.

[MsGuy]

Yeah, Obital, the first time I saw a physician younger than I was, it felt really weird. Fortunately he was a cute slim twink, so I managed somehow.

[Racketjock]

I turned 40 this year. Although I wouldn't mind having the body I did in my twenties, there isn't pretty much anything else I want from an earlier age, other than to have made some better choices then that would have made the journey getting to this point a little easier. The glory and pain of hindsight. Now if only I would continue to value that and learn from my mistakes......that might make my 40's even better!

[raulgmanzo]

Chronological age never made a lot of sense to me. I went through puberty late and was a virgin until my twenties.

Now in my youthful 40s I am more fit and have a sexier body than I did in my 20s.

I have had fantastic sex with guys from 19 to 80 years old. There are many senior citizens in better shape than some 20 or 30 year olds.

So the hell with all this obsession about age. Better to focus on health and fun.

I'm looking forward to my 50s.

At the risk of repeating myself (what else is new? ), I want to be whatever age I am as time flows. BUT I resent that I was not consulted by Creation as to the proper human lifespan. I think about 250 years would be ideal. On the premise that the first time we do anything, we need the chance of a second go-round to really get it right -- including the full span of a life itself. Then, to conclude, another few decades for some kind of coda to sum it up.

 

(And yes, of course, I would try not to forget to ask the sybil to more or less preserve my health throughout it.)

Wasn't it GB Shaw who mused that youth is wasted on the young?

Although our president is 49, he looks damn good. If so much hasn't been made about his greying-- I'd suggest that he color his hair, and I don't say this because his salt n pepper doesn't look good on him.

 

<I have cousins (3 males) who are in their forties; they still look much younger than their chronological ages; I often think about how they've aged beautifully!>
