        There gets to be a point for most of us where we go from “sexual preference” to “meh.” Sex drives tend to evaporate eventually.

          That’s actually why being open to having a “roommate” when your old makes more sense. Don’t need physical anymore just the emotional. But I dk I’ll see when I get there.

            I’m not so sure this is true - retirement communities are one of the biggest hotbeds of STIs

                I was more addressing not going for physical anymore - you don’t get an STI unless you’re getting physically intimate!

      Same. Any more and just about anyone you know and can relate to is dead. And I have kids and perhaps they’ll have kids, but when I’m 90 and all my friends are dead, and anyone I looked to in life for guidance is dead, and I can’t commiserate with people about the old days of the Internet or what things used to be like without hearing “oh grandpa,” what really is the point?

        Things might be different in 50 years if I have a robot body I reckon 90 won’t be so bad.
