Sexual communication

There is more to sex than an erect penis. How do you maintain your sexuality both for yourself and for your partner? What techniques do you use to give both of you a great, satisfying sex life? How do you explore your own body and sexuality now that the rules have changed?

Sexual communication

Postby Dan1234 » Sat Jun 20, 2026 7:38 am

Do you plan sexual encounters with your partner?

Do you have regular ‘date nights’?

How do you let each other know that you’re “in the mood”?

How often do you have sex?

Do you communicate in advance what you would like?

What proportion of your encounters involve penetrative sex?

Well there are a lot of questions there. Try to take one topic and do a search for that topic. That is whats good about FT is that it stores all those hundreds of questions. Grab a beer and have relax reading sessions

Talking to our partners is also important.

We like the handwritten note left in a special place.

Partly due to medical issues, and partly for erotic reasons, we prefer to have sex in locations other than the bedroom.
But we have an adult child living with us, so need to plan ahead for when they will be absent.

Do you have regular ‘date nights’?

We go out together regularly and spend every evening together, but not specific date nights as such.
Bear in mind we're both now over 70 and long retired.

How do you let each other know that you’re “in the mood”?

When it comes up just say it out loud.

How often do you have sex?

Three times a week.

Do you communicate in advance what you would like?

We already know what each other likes so don't usually communicate in advance.
But I try and switch things up mid session to spice it up.

What proportion of your encounters involve penetrative sex?

100% of the time, after some extended foreplay.

I find that some like to pick out specific questions.

And it’s a way of sparking up conversations.

I second your comment about “notes”….

**Do you plan sexual encounters with your partner?**

Yes. We have a combination of planned times, but we also have plenty of spontaneous encounters.

**Do you have a regular date night?**

No. Things are primarily spontaneous, and we tend to just go with the flow.

**How do you let each other know you're in the mood?**

That usually happens through physical contact or playful interactions. For example, my wife might come out into the living room wearing only a towel, say "oops," and drop it in front of me, or she'll simply tell me she's horny. As for me, I'll usually just tell her I'm horny.

**How often do you have sex?**

We have some form of sexual contact almost daily. That can include fooling around, making out, or other forms of intimacy. Heavy make-out sessions happen almost every night.

For us, there are generally two different types of encounters. The first is what most people would describe as "sex," usually involving penetration. That's often when I'm horny and looking for a quickie. My wife has always been great about that, and there have been very few times when I've asked that she didn't accommodate me.

She doesn't typically ask for quickies herself, although there have been a few occasions. When she gets really turned on, the focus tends to be on her. I'll still get off, but the emphasis is on making sure she's fully satisfied. Those encounters often turn into marathon sessions that can last for hours. When I eventually can't keep up, I usually switch to helping her with toys and oral.

**Do you communicate in advance about what you would like?**

We did a lot more of that when we were younger and still learning about each other. After being married for so long, we know each other pretty well. A lot of the time we just get into it and see where things go. We both have things we particularly enjoy and a few things we don't, but we generally accommodate each other.

**What proportion of your encounters involve penetrative sex?**

I'd estimate around 40%. A lot of our sexual contact involves oral sex, manual stimulation, and, as I mentioned earlier, plenty of making out.

My wife and I both have strong libidos, and we've always been comfortable exploring and enjoying a variety of sexual activities together. If anything, it's only gotten better over the years.
