A reader asks: 

Is casual sex a “thing” for our age group? I’m 70 and lost my husband two years ago. I’m not ready for a steady dating relationship—and I’m certainly not looking for a husband—but I’m lonely for sex. I enjoy my vibrator, but I miss the feeling of skin on skin and the embrace of another body. I want to feel exciting and excited. Sometimes I wish I could just have a man in bed for an afternoon when I want him, then have him go away. Is that sexist, treating a grown man like a boy toy?

One of my friends goes on dating sites looking for “casual encounters.” She has sex with a variety of men and says she likes it, and so do her dates. I don’t judge her, but I don’t know if I could be comfortable with just sex, no relationship at all. I was brought up to see sex and love as part of the same package, preferably pointing to marriage. I’m not interested in that any more. My life is full of activities on my own and with my friends, and I don’t want to do anyone’s laundry or be expected to put dinner on the table every night. But my friend’s solution seems too outrageous for me. I don’t know if I can ever separate sex from emotions. Is that even possible for women? Do men see women as trashy if they’re interested in sex without a commitment?

How do I bring sex back into my life? If I don’t want a husband or a steady date, is “casual encounters” my only option? How would I even do that? —Conflicted

Joan Price Responds

You ask some great questions. It’s good that you’re thinking this through before you act on it. Our generation was raised with a clear distinction between “good” girls and “loose” girls, and what it meant if you were the latter. But we’ve changed, our culture has changed and our sexual choices have expanded. Whatever works for two people mutually is much more important than any either-or rule. And so, while you might not be comfortable with your friend’s sexual behavior, that is not the only option outside of love and marriage.  

Here are some options for you to think about. 

  • A “friend with benefits” or sex buddy is a friend first and a sex partner on occasion, when you both feel like it. Usually it happens that a friend (maybe a longtime friend) becomes a sex partner, keeping the friendship and adding on the “benefits.” Or sometimes a former lover comes back into your life and although the long-ago emotions aren’t what they were, you feel close and sharing sex feels comfortable. Many unpartnered seniors enjoy these kinds of relationships. A friend with benefits, or FWB, is a real friendship – you care about each other, enjoy talking and share interests – with that added gift of naked cuddling and orgasms. When you’re apart, you’re independent with no expectation of commitment or exclusivity.
  • “No strings attached” or “hookup” is casual sex with one or more partners. You come together for sex when you both want to, and otherwise your worlds might not overlap. This can be a one-night stand or an ongoing every-so-often “booty call.” Many people use the dating sites to find partners. Looking for “casual encounters” or “short-term dating” will draw people interested in no strings attached, or NSA sex.
  • A therapeutic massage: If the options above don’t feel right,  a massage can help with that longing to be touched. It’s not sexual touch, but it can feel deliciously sensual to have a trained pair of hands kneading your muscles and relaxing your body. There are also erotic massage practitioners who offer sensual massage—you can explore whether this is available in your area. I write about this in my book, Naked at Our Age: Talking Out Loud About Senior Sex.

Of course, whether you’re considering FWB or NSA (or any new sexual relationship, in fact), both of you should be recently and regularly tested for STIs, including HIV, and safer sex should always be a non-negotiable item in your agreement.

From what you’ve told me about you, I think you’d be comfortable with a FWB, someone you feel close to emotionally as a friend but whose benefits come with no commitment—and who goes away after that afternoon together, as you specified!

The right FWB might be closer than you think. Many people our age are widowed or divorced and, like you, don’t want another committed relationship right now. Some are in nonsexual relationships—maybe they’ve become the caregiver to a spouse and their marriage is no longer sexual. Maybe they’re with a spouse who no longer desires sex and has given permission to go outside the marriage. Or they may be in a relationship founded on ethical non-monogamy. There are many reasons that people of our age want a sexual partner without a committed relationship. It’s normal and more common than you’d think. Maybe you already have the right friend, and just need to add the benefits!

You ask whether this kind of relationship is possible for women. Yes, for many women. No, for others. You’ll have to look inside yourself to decide whether it’s right for you. Are you likely to get too emotionally involved, or is he? Maybe. Emotions are tricky, and the best way to deal with whatever comes up is to communicate clearly before you get involved, during the involvement and afterwards if either of you needs to end it.

Here’s how it worked for a friend of mine who grieved deeply after the death of her husband  before feeling she was ready for sex and warmth, but not a committed relationship. She had a close friend who was also open to a sexual friendship without commitment, and some exploratory kissing showed them that they really were sexually attracted to each other. They talked about their needs, desires, expectations and boundaries, being careful to speak honestly and non-judgmentally, and to really listen to each other. Both were worried at first that if the sex didn’t work out, their friendship could be damaged, but they agreed that as long as they kept communicating honestly, they’d be able to preserve it. Their FWB relationship lasted two years. During that time they were friends first and foremost, and sexual partners as an added bonus. The “benefits” part of their relationship ended when they both felt it had played itself out and they were ready to move on, but they remain friends.

You’re asking all the right questions. Be clear with yourself and with any potential sex partners about what you’re signing on for. Make sure that you and your new sex partner agree on what needs you’re filling for each other and where the boundaries are. And show your partner that you value your health and his by always practicing safer sex. See more about safer sex here.

  1. Let’s stop here for a moment and think. Women, whether young or old, from the beginning of history have been having sex–it is part of our human nature. What does it matter what the age? As long as a woman has the desire, her body will follow. I find it odd that old women, sexually active all their adult life, all of a sudden believe that they are dried up old hags. Nothing could be further from the truth. Even old women, open to their sexuality, can be luscious sex partners–it is all in the head. They simply need to give up their guilt and self consciousness.
    women are beautiful and desirable at all ages–never forget that.

    2. Allen, I agree, however I was into casual sex when I was young but I’m 70, husband dead for five years. Now that Covid is over and I’m getting out more, I find that I have great desires and I have toys for that, just miss the feel of skin on skin. I have met a man who was married 54 years, his late wife was his only sexual partner and now he’s ready to explore and be with different women. I understand that, but I’ve been there done that so yes I want intimacy, and I want to be monogamous.

      1. I tried to comment a few minutes ago. I also miss the touch and touching of a woman. There’s not a better feeling than making a woman feel good or sexy and aroused then satisfied. I miss that very much. I’m only in my middle 50 s and running good just hard to find anyone who wants to test drive a later model. Lol

    3. According to a group of female Drs 82.5% of all women after menopause no longer desire sex but my female counselors say too high and is more like 50/50 (still very high). This is reality. Women in late 50s and older are often no longer interested in sex

      1. I met a female through a penpal introduction when I was 24 and she was a widow aged 58 and missed sex and was delighted to share her experience with me and offered me all the practise I wanted and shared her knowledge by giving me all my first time experiences in performance, fast foward Im 45 living with a woman I met at 30 who was also 58 and we are still together and the sex is amazing, very tactile, very playful and we also travel, take holidays together, she has supported me throughout.

  2. Hi,
    I am 64 and male. I also have parkinson’s which means I’m not very mobile at all.

  3. Hi Tim,
    I totally understand your situation and you sound exactly like what I am looking for. I really need a NSA relationship with an occasional sexual encounter. I love intimacy, playing and exploring. I am 65 and not willing to give up on sex- I enjoy it too much :) hope to hear how you are doing on your quest

    4. Hi Deb, I feel the same way as you do. I am in my 60s and also enjoy the feeling of another person’s touch and their body touching mine. I am a cancer survivor, so I don’t function the way I once was able to. But I have found ways to compensate for that.

  4. miss personal communication with man after 16 year divorce and surgeries. Body is fine but very lonely. don’t want to meet at bar scene. Would enjoy male companion to share my life with through sharing and honest communication and not just one night stand. Meals, etc., together would be perfect. Handyman would be excellent too. Been told I’m senior citizen. Well, I expect more out of my life than such emptiness after many years, if you know what I mean….

      1. Typically a hot and horny man will not stay lonely! A respectful man will discreetly inquire about women quietly and he will take his time!!

  6. I am 59 and been married for 20 years. I love my wife with all my heart. Do do a medical condition we have not had sex in a few years.
    So I have been looking for a lady that just wants sex, I doubt I will ever find one.
    So am I wrong for this.? Its really not fair to me, but hurting her would be the last thing i would want.

    Reply to Tim

    1. TIM
      I was in the same kind of relationship with my wife. I did find a lady the understood my situation and we were able to get together about once a month. I know this sounds bad be it help me put up with my wife’s problem

      Reply to mike

    2. I am in the same boat. Love her but the medications and lack of desire have me befuddled. I too need an outlet. She tries to help ,but the hateful look on her face makes me want to scream. I will not beg anyone. I have always had women knocking on my door most of my life. I work out and take Testosterone for medical reasons. That certainly doesn’t help.

  7. Hi out there!!

    I’m from South Africa. …Cape Town. 60 and was married to man half my age. Needless to say………my problem (if you can call it that?) I go onto dating sites where 99% of men ask me if I’m really 60? And don’t believe me.

    I have been divorced now for one year and since not gone on ANY dates! Not even a coffee.

    My kids says I should change my mindset. …I’m to old fashioned! !

    I compare men my age to myself or my ex 31yr old husband. I find men my age not attractive. They don’t take care of themselves. (Please don’t stone me! I know there are many men out there who follows good healthy lifestyle.

    BUT I haven’t met a lot. ..not being judgemental I’m just trying to explain by being honest.

    Any ideas? ?? @dvise? Where do I meet them. Dating sites has not worked for me.

    4. I totally understand you. I am 63, my husband was 7 years younger than me; very immature. We were separated for 13 years and got divorced than in 2018. Having been with my kids over the years, I’ve never dated any guys. However, I have always believed that I like men, lol… Since May 2020 I have been on the website where I started dating men for short romances … I don’t like men my age either. The youngest I’ve met was 44 years old, the other one is 47. So he is 16 years younger than me. We liked to meet from time to time, hug and kiss every now and then and we had great oral and finally “regular” sex. I met several times with a married guy who doesn’t have any intimate at home; he comes to my town to visit his father once a month. I am not sure if I would like to be in a committed relationship at this moment but I enjoy these sexual hot encounters .. I don’t chase men, I am not stealing somebody’s husbands ../ they just come by themselves and want to cuddle XOXO

  8. I love oral sex very much and at my age…. I love giving more than receiving oral sex. Several of the ladies that I have been in the past seemed to enjoy that. They have a dildo which was used during our sessions and everything seemed to work for both of us. The other partners moved closer to relatives in other states, so we lost contact. Being a male, that seems to work for me when I put emphasis on meeting the lady’s need to reach at one climax when we met. Seemed to work for the both of us.

    Reply to Neil Allen

  10. Seems many at this age range have similar problems, and finding a sexual partner seems allmost impossible.
    Having no luck on the dating sites, and getting a tad weary of going out and finding nothin, I’ve decided to go sailing, and just enjoy the beautiful world in which we live.
    I really think society today is far too focused on the material world, and not the natural world.
    As the old American Indian once said ( when a government official asked what he thought of our modern world),
    “In my day, we hunt and fish all day, and have sex all night.
    You people work all day , and too tired to enjoy life at night.”
    Pretty much sums it up really.

  11. I am 74 years old and always been sexually active up until my wife got sick about 11 years ago and we had a fantastic sex life but since then none at all. Done whole that against her that sex is the last thing she wants but then I’m left alone and still have feelings and would love to find a friend with benefits. I’m a true gentleman and know this is not right but life is too short and I have love to give a woman and sex is my goal with no commitments at all just pleasure. I love my wife of 52 years but my needs are being neglected and I’m very frustrated on lack of what a man can provide for a woman, sorry if I hurt someone’s feelings but this is my true feelings.

  13. I understand everyone’s situation . I am 64 years old and recently retired kids gone and feel lonely and forgotten . I dated the same guy over 25 years , neither of us were interested in living together or marriage. He passed away and have been alone for over 7 years ……….not easy finding a friend or a FWB type of guy for fun activities . I miss being held and kissed and out and about doing fun things or at least a company keeper. I dont have a clue as to where to meet a guy over 60……………………………….

    1. Have we been hurt that we will not allow someone in? I am a positive person and I do not know the answer but I have often wondered. That aside I would love to find someone looking for the same who is physically in good shape and takes pride. There is nothing more attractive than a mature lady who knows how to carry herself.

    8. Where do you live? I am in Jersey. My gf no longer desire sex. She has huge beautiful breasts and I am a breast man. She hates even when I talk about sex. The hateful faces she makes . I beg her. This is not right.I have always had side women most of my life and I promised myself not this time. She saved my butt financially and I owe her so much but nature takes its course. I need a woman to make love to. I will never leave her and their are animals also that need me. She is not warm like I am. My glass is always half full in life while hers is half empty.

  14. I am so glad that i ran across this web page. I am in that age group and wonder a lot about where my life is going now. I hate to think that i have noting to look forward to anymore. But the idea of having a friend with benefits sounds good to me. Some how I missed the last 15 or 20 years of my life.
    While being busy raising my kids and getting them off to college, I loss my 10 year companion, whom I had plan to marry as soon as we both got the our children out of the house. Then I had to help my dad care for my mom, while attending to her my dad took ill for the next 2 1/2 years I cared for both of them. The time just got away.
    When i looked around I was shock to realize that i was just about 70 years old and not much to pick up and get on with. This friend started to stop by to check on me some 20 years ago. He was what I consider my company keeper. We laugh, talked, cooked, took classes to together and even started a small business together. Things went well for the business for about 8 years. The bottom fall out from the economy and my family obligations forced me to let the business go. Now that the kids are gone, parents are gone it is just me. What do I do with myself. I need that friend with benefits just to feel alive.

    1. Join the discussion…Carol, I was in a similar situation, I had no interest in getting remarried but still desired a “friend” to sometimes dine out with and take short trips, plus just spend time with. I hired a fella to do a couple of jobs that I need done, like me, he was retired and did handyman jobs to keep busy. 17 months later and we are still friends and take frequent trips. PERFECT for me, my life is exciting and my sex life couldn’t be better !! I am 69 and he is 60, a perfect match !! Charla

    4. A lot of things happen to us in life we cannot control. I am 79 and was fortunately with my wife for over 57 years before she passed. Since I had ED my options were limited. I found three different women willing to have skin on skin contact. To overcome the ED I studied how to pleasure a women. I was surpirsed women had orgams 35% of the time they have sex. I learned to provide erotic massage with an eroscillator. Hope you can find a male that can stimulate you.

  17. I agree with Hazel’s comment above — both of you wanting the same type of relationship at the same time can be rare.

    And even if “sex is sex,” emotions are inevitably involved — maybe moreso for my senior generation than for younger folks — and committed companionship, as she so nicely puts it, is what we really want, bottom line.

    (I wrote Joan a longer email about my particular experience with “fwb” and how it seems to be heading in a more serious direction, but that’s still an unknown…) – Will be happy to read about others’ experiences with that particular modus operandi ~

  18. “… 99% of the time what I miss most is not sex but a committed companionship that IS there when I need it most which IS 99% of the time.”

    That’s true for all of us.
    But I have found that when both persons acknowledge that, and then have Sex for Sex’ sake, it doesn’t become a problem = When and if we ‘find’ another mate, it’s easy to become committed again. Of course Women should be careful when talking about those ‘activities’ with their new Male mates, because many Men react badly when learning that their Women were as Horny as they were {are}.

  19. I am a FWB with 2 Older {ages 64} Women friends of mine.
    Is it good for them? Most definitely! They have both told me that their Lives “are better now” that they are having Sex again!
    AND, I admit, it’s great for me.
    We all benefit.
    Being Sexual for one’s entire Life in one of Life’s privileges!
    You just have to Go Do It. Make yourself available like you did when You were in your 20s!

  20. I like that Joan has created an informational presence as well as a forum for older adults to acknowledge or discuss sexual feelings. I like that her articles and interviews don’t just provide information without qualifiers that everything available may not be a good fit for all. However, I think “Conflicted,” the questioner to whom Joan responds above, hits the nail on the head when she says “I don’t know if I can ever separate sex from emotions.” At 75, I can’t speak for the younger set who have been reared with a sense of “I can have what I want when I want it” or the entitlement thereto, but for all of us there is an overriding truth and that is that “actions have consequences.” Raw sex is only emotionally satisfying for a few moments to a few hours. Afterwards, we are always left with trading our time or emotions, or both, for other things needed to survive (food, shelter and niceties thereof). We are always in pursuit of sex or survival, and if we are lucky, there are short times available to contemplate life or play seeking nothing but happiness and contentment. Before, participants tend to act in ways that please, attract or seduce our partners. But, when our emotions and most private and vulnerable selves are at stake, the consequences of our actions can leave us very unsatisfied much of the time. And when that happens, we tend to feel emotionally alone – which defies the objective of either sex or survival. For example, whether FWB or NSA, it only works when both want exactly the same thing at exactly the same time. Unfortunately, that’s rare. What happens when your accommodating friend is busy elsewhere (whether it’s accommodating someone else of just otherwise engaged) is that you don’t get what you want when you want it. And, despite your “honest” agreements, it’s hard not be feel alone, or worse, jealous, or the time your “friend” is not available to you. At least with NSA, you supposedly don’t have expectations. Except that we always have expectations…and the biggest of them all is to live a wholly satisfying life in company with those who care about how we feel and best of all when there is that ONE that we each know with certainty cares and is there for us – and vice versa. Bottom line: a release of sexual tension by whatever means achieved seems to be in our genes, but there are precious few for whom the end goal is not a committed relationship. I still have sexual feelings, and I look for ways to satisfy them (Thank you, Joan), but having now been a widow for almost 15 years, 99% of the time what I miss most is not sex but a committed companionship that IS there when I need it most which IS 99% of the time.
