If you believe sex is for the under sixty set, this series is not for you. If things other than straight sex offend you, move on. Old folks know what they like and will ask for it.
-------------------------------
Every morning I wandered over to the neighborhood McDonalds for a sausage biscuit and a cup of coffee. Usually I read the free morning paper and saw the same five men at "their" table in the corner. They were all in their late sixties or early seventies and seemed upbeat most days. One cloudy morning, only one of the group sat solemnly, pretending to look through the morning papers.
We both needed company.
I sat down next to his table with my small order and asked, "Where are your buddies today?"
His name was Toby and he tapped the front page of the paper, "One died from this horrible swine flu that is going around and two others are trying to recover."
"I'm so sorry. I've been reading about the pandemic but I did not know it had spread into Oregon."
"Yea, keep your distance. We all live at the assisted living facility across the street. There is some talk that the state will lock us down today. I think we are the first place to have reported cases in the state."
I did keep my distance. I was sixty-six myself but I was healthy, took care of my wife - who should be in such a facility - and I spent way too much time alone, depressed, escaping into the internet, taking my wife to appointments and doing things that really did not need to be done.
In a few weeks, there were four regulars at his table and he motioned me over, introducing me to all of the "guys." Over the following couple of months, I learned about each of their working lives and how they wound up at the "Rose Garden Assisted Living Facility." All had originally gone there as part of a husband and wife team. Three were single now. Two wives died, one just left and the other was there, had Alzheimer's and was with a different man, not remembering her husband of forty years.
That triggered lots of questions, so I asked Toby to hang around for a while for us to talk. By now he knew all about my situation and loved to talk about anything.
"You should come over and check the place out. It's well run, has good facilities, lots of activities, the food is good -- but you get tired of even good food from the same place all the time."
"I was curious about Sam's comment that his wife was with another man now."
"There are over 150 people at the Garden but less than twenty are men. Sam's wife is a real looker and loves sex. She doesn't know who she is and sleeps around a lot."
"I didn't know such facilities allowed such things."
"We pay our bill and we are over 21. Some of us are still sexually active. Sam is not but there are lots of women who love to spend time with him for companionship or whatever happens. He doesn't mind about his wife. He knows she has good care. That had been a big worry for him before they became "inmates.""
"Inmates?"
"Just a term we tease the staff with. They take good care of us because it is an upscale facility and they know most of us can move to another."
"Helen would kill me if she knew I was even considering such a thing."
"Just come over by yourself. Come as my guest. You said you are usually on your own until noon. We'll have breakfast there one day. Just be ready to be hit on a lot."
That brought a laugh from me.
"No, I'm not kidding. You are tall, healthy and handsome compared to the few men who live there. The ladies are always wanting a date to go out with, travel with, talk with or just play cards with."
"I still struggle to find an escort once in a while or find other sexual diversions. The equipment still works and the absence of healthy female companionship in my life is one of my toughest problems. You are describing heaven for me."
"It definitely isn't heaven but older people are very open about what they want. The females will definitely make sure you know what they are looking for."
"You mean, straight sex, oral sex or just a TV partner?"
"Mable likes to be fisted. Janice wants you to watch her and then cum on her tits. Carol will do anything but likes anal. Ann is the most popular, she could take an anaconda down her throat. The twins enjoy each other's company but will double team you. Does that give you some ideas?"
"Enough to keep my imagination in high geer for a week. Maybe I will come over for breakfast. When would be a good time?"
We arranged to meet on Friday morning. I was expecting to see dozens of out of shape, unkempt, overmedicated and slow-witted females with walkers and in wheelchairs. That is pretty much what I had at home. Helen had been a gorgeous blond and still looks good when she can take a couple of hours to fix herself up. Her painful Parkinson's usually takes away any such motivation and her heavy duty pain killers take away her short term memory and humor. At one time she was the resident expert on blond jokes, was the manager of a large accounting department in an electronics company and turned every straight-males head.
I met Toby in the lobby and he took me straight to the dining room, promising to show me his room, the rec areas and give me the rest of the tour after breakfast. He had told several people that he would have a guest today. We sat at a table with four others and were interrupted often for introductions that I promptly got mixed up.
Just when I got back from humoring my small bladder, Toby introduced me to a tall, well put together, slightly overweight, silver-haired woman. She might be seventy but she exuded sex. "Dave, this is Mable, she has lived her for about five years now."
Mable's hands were warm and she shook my hand with both of hers. "Nice to meet you. You have nice hands, Dave." She rubbed the palm of my hand and pulled her fingers through mine.
"I leaned over to give her a hug and whispered, "They are talented also but are guided by my taste buds.""
She pushed back from me gently and I watched her eyes darken and shift from friendly to pure lust.
"What do you do to keep them so soft?"
"I used to build houses but now I write so the calluses have mostly gone away. Sometimes I still like to put them in a moist, tight glove to soften them."
She leaned close, "You are a naughty one, you must have heard about me."
"I heard something and it triggered a life-long fantasy of mine. I hope I did not offend you. I am a big tease."
"Not at all. Please come back and visit us. Bring your fantasies."
As I sat down again, Toby said, "Well you are a hit with Mable, she usually is not a talker at breakfast. But get ready for a million words, here comes Carol."
"Dave this is Carol; she is into all of the craft classes and exercises classes."
I stood and got my mandatory hug. She opened with, "The exercises are necessary. I need to lose some weight."
Very quietly I said, "I was so hoping you would come over and meet me?"
