My mom always said she was 21 plus until last year, when she turned 98 and proudly announced her age to everyone in earshot.
Not necessarily. A machine operating at a certain speed can often overcome copious amounts of lubrication!

Interesting question. I'd guess it's because our parents either taught us or got us involved in it. Sailing was a big part of family life for me.

My favorite was when Linda Rondstat was dating Jerry Brown. He was all over his Less is More campaign. National Lampoon had her lifting the covers and looking at his junk. Caption: You know Jerry, sometimes less really is less!Well, over the years many ladies have told me that I'm on fire down there!
That reminds me of the old National Lampoon magazine. They had the Foto Funnies which featured a rather well endowed young woman. One time she was in bed with some guy and after sex they were resting with the sheets pulled up below their chests and he asked her if she smoked after intercourse. In the next photo she is lifting the sheets and looking down. In the last photo she told him, "No".
Take care buddy. I send good thoughts daily.
I think a good part of it was for the most part there was a stable middle class and a lot of good paying blue collar union jobs in many places, especially in the northeastern US. Where I grew average people, factory workers and the like, could afford a decent house, car, and even a boat of some kind. Growing up along Lake Erie, I knew many people that had either a smallish sailboat or a motorboat.
Frank Zurn, a direct descendant of John Zurn who founded Zurn Industries in 1900 in Erie, PA, known worldwide for plumbing fixtures and specialized valves was known locally for his 3 successively bigger racing yachts. Melmar II, a wooden 40'er built in Germany in 1955, Kahili, a wooden 50'er built at the same German yard in 1964, and his last boat, Kahili II, a 61' aluminum hulled boat built in Wisconsin in 1972. Zurn was well known for racing Kahili II on the Great Lakes. Perhaps some folks here know the boat.
Models of the 3 yachts are on display in the Erie Maritime Museum where a replica of the historic brig Niagara from the Battle of Lake Erie in the war of 1812 is berthed. When the Niagara isn't out touring the Great Lakes it is open to the public to go aboard and explore.

Seriously? I've made a practice of not turning anyone down. Great believer in the women need a reason, men need a place!

A good friend four years older than me sailed on the last Kahili, a McCurdy and Rhodes design IIRC. Won both Macs the year it was launched. My buddy had nothing but praise for Frank.
He was a very well known and well respected sailor in town.
Our family wasn't wealthy so I never was able to go the Erie Yacht Club to see either Kahili up close.

I'm wearing a tshirt I bought at the 77th anniversary of Tobacco Road, formerly the oldest bar in Miami. It would be 110 if it still existed.
So maybe the prize should be a tshirt that's older than you are?
To the thread topic question, I'm 29.
I have this tee that I got from the only bar on the beach back home. They printed the shirts for their final summer. The shirt will be 36 years old this summer, a little older than yours. But I'm not giving it up, maybe I'll request that I get cremated in it! I spent many happy, tipsy afternoons and evenings at the PI. The illustration on the shirt is pretty accurate.
They sold the place and it got torn down and replaced with a condo building. There are a few bar/restaurants on Presque Isle Bay, but none on the lake anymore.
Women lie about their age for the same reason men lie about their wealth or success…to entice each other. You can dislike it all you want. We’re hard wired, even when the desire is to avoid pregnancy. Women want strength and resources. Men want fertility (tits and hips). Youth may be fertility, or a nod to the infamous loss of libido in women of a certain age.
My quote was from some poorly remembered sociology study. The senior bracket was theorized to excuse their physical condition ‘What do you expect, I’m 80 not 75’ kind of thing. Men, as our cradle robber has noticed, cease to care when the testosterone runs dry. Old crones oddly still do. A great Aunt died alone and wasn’t discovered for a while. My brother overheard griping at the funeral that the casket was closed, her surviving peers wanted to know if she still looked younger then they did.

Hmm yeah. how old was that study? 1925?
They used to reckon that women wanting sex were hysterical back in the dark ages.
And that there was no such thing as a clitoris or female orgasm.
How old did you say you were?
"Women of a certain age" as you so quaintly put it, are no more inclined to "lose libido" than men of a certain age. Sadly, too many men of a certain age, seem to still be in the dark ages.
