PPS Mind you I was into me late 60s when I was on me own again.

There are more "mature" ladies around then "mature" gentlemen in your age group.

I have had sex on the first date (with attractive and non slutty women) in my teens & twenties a number of times

Yeh, we all did at that age. Did with my wife, lovely randy lady she was.

Yeh, but never seem to want any nudgy wink. Last lady I asked said she hadn't since she was 55. Loony lady 2 says it cos they all dry up.

Strange never paid for it but I have had sex on the first date (with attractive and non slutty women) in my teens & twenties a number of times. Maybe you guys are doing it wrong? Or just butt ugly?

At least in my case I married my first girlfriend. All going well so far. Anyway, I bow out of this. I'm just so inexperienced. ?

Good for you, if I had married my first girlfriend I probably would have been divorced more times than Brillo.

I needed to grow up to appreciate Mrs V. I am not ashamed of that! The ladies I loved do not deserve your scorn.

It would be like trying to peel a cheese toasty apart.

"It's a Sin", is a 5-part drama about the impact of the early 1980's AIDS crisis on London's young gay men.

Caught this the other night and thought it was excellent. Only watched the first episode and will watch over the week.
Excellent show, characters, captures some the excesses brilliant.

Whilst not gay I relate to a lot of this, I did go to Uni in Brighton & my landlords were both gay where I lodged. One would never trigger anyone's gaydar and the second was as camp as they come. I'd already been there a few years, and initially coming from a fishing town in Devon where calling someone was Gay was an insult & I had the piss taken out of me for going to 'Gaytown' it never really registered that anyone else was different.

They had a flat full of antiques (it was immaculate and a pampered cat) posters hung in the kitchens from mags with extremely well hung gentleman which still makes me feel inadequate today ;-)

They were very much into Gay and drug scene in Brighton and when I came back from the pub with my 'stinky' doner kebab I was regularly verbally abused by the group of their friends who were trying to come down with chillful music in the front room 'Did you pull tonight neanderthal man, did you pull a woman!' I used to get it on a regularly basis before being sent off to the kitchen to eat my food before coming in and having some banter.

I learned sitting with them to be as cutting as any queen as I gave the funny verbals back & also sometimes went out to the clubs with them, where believe it or not they used to have to get bouncers let me in, as I was clearly setting nobodies gaydar off. They are some of the best days of my life & I enjoy the club scene because it is so open & free with none of that machismo bollox you'd get in straight clubs.

Towards the end they had a friend come to stay in the front room. The told me he was coming to stay for a short while as he wasn't well. They didn't say what. He was a lovely fella, and they were very attentive, my only instruction the front room was off limits & they didn't attend any parties. Anyway I did stray in when one morning forgetting, asking if anyone wanted tea, and they were dressing him. He was covered in those sores (a sight I wont forget). He was gone when I came back from Uni one day and nothing was said. Years later told me they lost a lot of friends.

I went to their blessing when they were first allowed at Brighton Paviliion and it was televised & I used to pop back and see them until they split up and went the seperate ways, but they're still good great friends of mine on FB. My wife and I have a lot of gay friends. I don't differentiate between anyone but one of them votes Labour, now that is a sin.

I once asked the oldest, how come in all the years I went to clubs with them, nobody ever came on to me! and he said 'It's because you're an ugly bastard MF'

Oh well. Episode 2 to come :-)
