The Answerer

(Please also see questions number 112 to 116 on this subject…very important)

Two parts here: of course I approve of sex. I am a dad, a Grandad and Great Grandad.

The second bit is my business and not yours – because you most probably would not like to be asked this question when you get old. What I will say is this: Most men give up sex around 60 to 70 years old. Drugs, too much alcohol (known as ‘brewers droop’ in some places), smoking, and diabetes stops many having sex too. Overweight and too much ‘junk food’ is not good for sex and causes many to lose interest. But a small percentage are still having sex past 80 years old! In the Bible Abraham became a Dad at 100 years old! (God promised Abraham a son three times. See Gen 12:1-3, Gen 15:1-5, and at 100 years old the son came along.)(Gen.18:10-14). A dad at 100? Yes indeed, but remember that there were no cigarettes, grog, drugs and so on then. For SCI (Spinal Cord Injured) people I can say that it is a bit like a lottery; some can and some cannot.

On a lighter note: and this is only for very old blokes (82 or more years old – and a good mop of white hair helps) who can get away with this so read on. My great joy is to meet, or be speaking to a girl, say 18 to 22 who has kept her integrity, and kept off sex, drugs, and grog and walks like an angel (about one in a thousand are like that). Now and then I meet or see an especially beautiful one and she is a lot like an angel – but she does not comprehend how lovely she looks – and if it is OK, I will say to her: “Wow! You make me wish I was 50 years younger.” No offence meant or taken – and girls like it very much. And I always get a beautiful smile. And I add: “Please tell Mum and Dad they have done a great job raising you.” It’s true, that’s what I do! So I still appreciate the loveliness of a lovely girl.
