I said it may be hard to understand, but at my age (62), I not into sex anymore because with the arthritis in my back and bursitis in my hip, it hurts too much. I tried last winter.

On 05/26/2022 I found out I have herpes which is incurable, and I don’t want to spread it around. Even with the antiviral drug it can still be transmitted, though the odd are low.

I’m just interested in platonic friendships thank you.

The idea of a life without sex really doesn’t bother me. The only thing I miss is kissing.

Thanks @Kxev. Most of my free time is spent on this forum or FB now. All my other time is taken up caring for myself and going to my psych clinic three times a week. I’m mainly doing rehab there.

I used to have unprotected sex with my gf with herpes years ago…I never caught it. I realize it was perhaps taking a chance but I loved her. I didn’t care…don’t give up on the opposite sex if that’s what you desire.

62 is not time to throw in the towel. Also don’t rush. Let’s keep talking to find a way you can meet a guy, or friends in your area. Or outside your area.

Would you feel comfortable going out again?

Also so I assume you don’t have friends, as I do not either.

I have a gay friend in his 50’s, and there’s the gay lay pastor at my church whose licensed to do same sex marriages. I chat with him on occasion. My old case manager is bi, but 25 years old and is a friend.

Okay so you have a gay social circle. Ask them what they do for fun and see if you can join them. You might meet new. People. Its good you have a close knit friendship to start.

Start with your friends, and network out by going out with them. Not expecting anything and as you meet people you might click and start a platonic friendship.
