This is such a thoughtful post. I’m 61 and still working, but I’ve been thinking a lot about what retirement might look like for my sex life. Right now, my masturbation habits fluctuate depending on my workload and home life, but I can imagine how having more free time could change things.
Your idea of using masturbation as a way to complement, rather than replace, partnered sex is brilliant. My wife and I have always had a healthy sex life, but there are times when solo play feels more accessible, especially if our schedules don’t align. Knowing that both can exist without diminishing the other has been a revelation for me.
I also relate to your point about intellectual and erotic curiosity growing with age. I’ve been exploring erotica and even writing some of my own, which has been an unexpected but rewarding outlet. It’s like my brain has become my most powerful sex organ, and masturbation is a way to channel that energy.
One thing I’ve started doing is scheduling time for myself, much like I would for any other self-care activity. It’s helped me approach masturbation with intention rather than treating it as something to squeeze in when I can. I think when I retire, I’ll finally have the chance to fully embrace this mindset.
