Retirement brings more time to masturbate; how I use that time

[piciossa]

I admire your openness. As a 67-year-old living alone, I have all the freedom in the world to indulge in masturbation without any constraints, and it’s been a game-changer. There’s no longer a need to sneak around or worry about being “caught.” Instead, I’ve embraced it as a natural part of my day, much like enjoying a good meal or a long walk.

What you said about not always focusing on orgasm resonates with me. Sometimes it’s more about the journey than the destination. Taking the time to explore sensations and fantasies without the pressure to “finish” has made the experience much more fulfilling. It’s like savoring a fine wine instead of gulping it down.

I also appreciate how masturbation has helped me stay connected to my sexuality as I age. It’s easy to feel like society pushes older people into the background, especially when it comes to topics like sex. But I’ve found that solo play is a powerful way to reclaim that part of myself and remind myself that I’m still vibrant and capable of pleasure.

For me, the biggest shift has been giving myself permission to enjoy this without guilt. It’s amazing how much of our lives we spend worrying about what others think. Retirement has been a time to shed those fears and just focus on what makes me happy, and masturbation is definitely high on that list.
