Thank you for sharing this! I’m in my late 50s and recently divorced, and I’ve been re-evaluating how I approach intimacy and self-pleasure. Your post is such a great reminder that masturbation isn’t just for the young or single—it’s something that evolves with us throughout life.
One thing I’ve noticed is how much more satisfying it can be now that I don’t feel rushed. In my younger years, it often felt like something to do quickly, almost as an afterthought. But now, I treat it like a ritual. I light a candle, put on music, and let myself sink into the moment. It’s incredibly grounding.
Your openness about the health benefits of masturbation really struck a chord. I’ve been struggling with stress and insomnia, and I’ve noticed that a good solo session can help with both. It’s like hitting the reset button on my mind and body. Knowing there’s scientific backing for this makes me feel even better about prioritizing it.
I also love that you touched on the societal stigma around masturbation, especially for older people. Posts like yours are so important because they normalize these conversations. We need to remind ourselves and each other that pleasure doesn’t have an expiration date.
