Stonemason agony auntI agree with Honeygirl that there's nothing wrong with "finishing up outside her," and however many times a week or month you desire sex is how often you should have it. There's no magic number or activities either that are "normal," except being authentic and yourself with your partner; if you have to keep secrets, then something is wrong.

EbonyBlossom agony auntThis is great and very healthy as it helps keep you fit and means you don't have erectile dysfunction! Plus you're never too old to have fun! Just make sure you don't sleep with anyone who's too young for you.

A male reader, anonymous, writes (9 July 2010):

I'm 41, and was married for 15 years where we did it an average of once a week. I'm now in a once a day relationship, and loving it (although I get a bit worn out sometimes). If you are doing it once a week, I'd say that's good for your age. I know many men face increasing impotence over 60, but don't let statistics rule your sex life. I can say that I felt a slight drop in libido over 35, and have had infrequent erectile dysfunction brought on by stress (divorce, losing $50K on sale of house, losing job, dog getting killed...all in a 3 month span). But once my life gets back on track, I expect to have a very long, active sex life. I say good for you!

AuntyEm agony auntIf it's 'normal' for you...then it's...normal.

You will step up to the plate for as long as you want to. Not sure if your married, but if your having doubts about your sex life with your partner, then you need to be open and honest and talk to her about it...that's about all you can do. Lay your cards on the table and talk.

I don't know whether there is any such thing as normal. As long as you are enjoying yourself, why worry!

Honeygirl agony auntAt 60, you are still young - dont put pressure on yourself to perform - just go with the feeling. I dont believe that just because you are more mature that you shouldnt have as much sex as you can manage!! My hubby is 60 this year and we have sex 3 times a week. Okay when he is not feeling sexual he gives me oral, and when I am not feeling sexual I give him oral. Sex doesnt have to be all about penetration, so if both you and your partner are happy with once a week, then alls okay!

There is nothing wrong with finishing outside your partners body, if you and your partner are both comfortable with it, then there is nothing to worry about.
