Passion Still

There was no interesting scenario that started it this time. No witty comments. No one moment that ignited the passion. Just an older married couple—and now both legally senior citizens—who still want to feel the highest level of intimacy for as long as they can. Yes, the physical features have changed, or in the case […]

Morning Glory

We are morning lovers. Don’t get me wrong; we will never say no to any opportunity that presents itself in the afternoon or evening. But there is something about the start of the new day—the opportunity to start it off right, and to watch my wife in the daylight. And honestly during the rest of […]

Reassurance

I walked into the bedroom that Saturday morning to a nice sight: My wife was naked and looking intently at herself in the full length mirror. “That’s a very good look,” I said. Her look of disgust reflected back to me from the mirror suggested disagreement. ”You have a biased opinion,” she said. “I am […]

Next Door

We have just returned from one of those “mini-vacations.” You know the kind—a Thursday through Monday trip to some place warm with sun, beaches, water, and food. A lot of each. Our hotel overlooked the ocean. We were on the 10th floor with a balcony. We kept the sliding door open at night to catch […]

Post-Holiday Bliss

It was our turn to travel for the holidays — and so we did. Planes, trains, and automobiles. Luggage. Packages. Rushing through airport terminals. Packed like sardines. Feeling the stress all around us. Staying with our children’s families. Playing with grandchildren. Up early. Staying up late. Time zone changes. Unfamiliar beds. Food. Noise — lot […]

The Homecoming

It was homecoming weekend at our alma mater, and we were there. Since our youngest is a student at “our school,” we thought we would attend. We got there Friday night in time for the pep rally and bonfire. On Saturday, we attended the homecoming parade, alumni gathering on the campus green, and football game. […]

Reaching Out

It was somewhere after 4 a.m. when I opened my eyes. I lay there, contemplating the silence, when I reached my arm across the bed. My hand came to rest on a naked shoulder. She WAS there! My wife didn’t move, but the important thing was having her there. We hadn’t slept together for 10 […]

Helping Hand

We were in an amorous mood that evening. Lights off, candles lit. Clothes discarded. No time constraints. I kissed my wife deeply as she settled into the pillows. I was to her right side, my hand sliding up and down her body, stopping to massage, rub, and stroke certain points. The passion of our kisses […]

Morning Starter

I was the first to wake up that weekday morning. And I quickly realized that a certain body part already was awake and VERY noticeable. Now, I have always enjoyed such a sensation in the morning. But at my age, it usually doesn’t happen. So for it to occur on this day—or any other  day—was […]

New Locations

I have no idea what compelled me to ask my wife such a question on that early spring afternoon. She was lying on the couch wearing shorts, no socks, and a cotton T-shirt. She was reading a book. We are both avid readers. As I walked by, I noticed the rose tattoo that was just […]

The Librarian

It was one of those hot summer Saturday mornings where the temperature hits 90 degrees at 10 a.m. and keeps climbing. On this day, I was headed to the city library for its annual summer children’s carnival. I am a big patron of the library — and a certain head librarian. When I arrived, there […]

The Date

There was no pretense this evening. No asking, no hinting, no wondering. We both knew what was going to happened. It had been an unusual amount of time between intimate moments. At least for us. We can go days, sometimes a week or two. But this was even longer. Jobs, family events, travel, sickness, and […]
