    I have to finish up my health history interview with my 81-year-old male resident tomorrow. I'm sitting here re-writing what I've got so far and realized that tomorrow will be the day I have to sit there and ask him questions about his sex life: are you sexually active? do you have any history of sexually transmitted diseases? do you have any...discharge from your penis?

    Fun.

    Oh, the story I could tell about being on the patient side of that conversation...
    I'd tell it, but it's too embarrassing.

    Alright, you talked me into it!

    I was in my late 20's and in Galveston's John Sealy hospital fighting a bad leg infection.
    For some reason, one of the young male student doctors needed to check my anus. I don't even remember what for.
    But, imagine my surprise when he asks me when was the last time I had performed anal sex.
    I told him the only other person to touch my taint besides my mom and myself, was him.
    I asked why he asked, and he said he found what he thought were anal warts. (hope I'm not sharing too much - aw, who am I kidding?)
    He said they're usually from sexual activity. I told him bugger me if I knew where they came from.

    Long story short, he ended up freezing them off.
    That was a feeling I'll never forget.

    Anyway, mm, I imagine you'll handle yourself with dignity and aplomb. The old gent will have probably been through much worse, anyway.

    Btw, the doctor's last name? Beef!
    Honest to God. Luckily there were no injections. *ba-bum-tush*

    You could post pictures of you playing Dr. Frank-en-Furter in full costume and makeup and it would not be "sharing too much" for this place.

    My wife's great-grandfather was "active" until he was 96. He lived in a retirement high rise and claimed to be one of the only males in the place who was capable (this was pre-Viagra, or when it was brand new at best). He claimed to have several of the other residents as regular visitors.

    A nurse wouldn't have to ask him much to get him to freely share his activities. :p

    That is quite a story. :)

    The old gent has been through quite a lot which is one of the reasons I'm sort of like - really? But it will be a good breakthrough moment for me.

    Of course, our professors always like to remind us of the story of The Villages.

    So I shouldn't cling to any misconceptions about the sex lives of the elderly.

    There's an instructor at Oregon State that teaches both Human Sexuality and Family Studies. I've taken both classes from her, and in each class, one of the test questions is always, "Do elderly people have sex?" She likes to emphasize that the elderly are in fact some of the most sexually creative people because while they may still be interested in sex, they may not always be capable of actually having it.

  10. When I worked for a health department and did outreach at senior citizen centers in the county, I would get a lot of old men and women asking me for condoms. It was creepy, but I was glad that they were asking for them.

    Not the kind of Irish music I find relaxing, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

    Edit: I guess it's really called Celtic music, right?

    Consider that there are purportedly 1.3 billion of them in the world; that's a pretty big social network, in the old sense.

    Celtic is the proper broader term yes. I almost used it for that post.
    Not the most relaxing of the genre but it was on my playlist from a CD and that was the one of the better versions of it I found on youtube. Many out there cut out the last two verses. For proper "relaxing" I much prefer De Dannan or the Wolfe Tones. Something like "Erin Gra Ma Chroi" (had to look that up for the proper Gaelic)
    ah yes this version that I have on iTunes -

    Facebook's user base would plummet though.
