I am taking a moment in my Bumble experience to check in. After seeing Jane Fonda in Book Club this summer, I was inspired to give Bumble a try. I am enjoying it though it has a lot of challenges. I tend to attract bad boys so that made me wonder about you.
Whether you date for marriage or date for fun, who are you when it comes to sex and pleasure?
I have been working on what I am calling my “Sexual Self Concept.” Who am I as a 65 year old sexually evolving woman? How do I want others to perceive me? How do I perceive me? Do certain words make me shudder with disgust? What if my date wants to be intimate before I am ready? I discovered that my sexual self concept is, I mean WAS about 13 years old. Turns out that was the age my father touched my breasts. Coincidence?
All of these questions have been cluttering up my mind while I am out there on the front lines dating for real. I am single four years now and I am definitely feeling stable as a single. But, if I meet an attractive man, holy moly, if I let myself melt too quickly, God help me.
So today I am sharing a very personal post. I have taken chances in the past when it comes to men and I don’t want to do that anymore. I radiate confidence when it comes to intimacy which makes it even more critical that I screen my dates very carefully. How can I tell if a guy is a safe companion for me? Men find me attractive, I have no trouble attracting them. I just want to take care of me.
Here is my candid take on why women risk so much to get good sex. Thanks for taking a look:
Does this resonate with you? I would love to hear your thoughts!
