I am 49 and have been celibate 7 years since the tragic death of my BF. I have thought about sex and do enjoy flirting with some people. Both my therapist and my doc said start with toys when I was thinking about becoming sexually active earlier this year and that was great advice. I have no desire for a sexual partner who is going to criticize me and try to change me. My sex toys don't do that so I think I will continue to be celibate unless I meet somebody special. Right now I am looking for a sex toy that will also weed eat my yard; if I can find that I will have no use for a partner LOL
