thinking about LS as an aging thing, do you stop in your 60s, do you adapt, do you just go gentle into it
asking the older heads in here. f52 m55, married 25 yrs, in the LS since 2009. so we're hitting that point where we're no longer the young couple at the club, weve probably been the median age in some rooms, and were starting to look at the 65-70 yr olds we know in the LS and wonder what our version of that is going to be in 10 years. ive been to lifestyle resorts where i've met couples in their late 60s, even early 70s, still in. they look great honestly, very comfortable in their skin, they play less but they're still there. and ive met couples in their early 60s who stopped 3-5 yrs ago and are happily out of it. and the question im starting to ask is — what does the next chapter of THIS look like. bc i don't want to be the 70 yr old at a club who everyone politely tolerates. but i also don't want to quit something we still genuinely enjoy just bc some arbitrary age comes up. and i don't want to age out and then 5 yrs later regret it. and physical stuff changes — i can already tell my recovery is longer, his stamina ebbs in different ways, my body responds to alcohol differently than at 45. these are all real not hypothetical. so older long term LS couples — how have you thought about this. is there a graceful next chapter (more travel less club, more naturist less LS, regulars only no new ppl, etc). did you stop entirely. did you not stop and would you do anything differently. how do you talk about it as a couple without making it feel like one of you is pushing for an ending. i don't hear ppl 60+ talk about this much and the silence makes it harder to picture what comes next
