Aging and BDSM
» Play
Aging is life’s greatest health issue.
Physical recovery slows; joints are less forgiving of stress.
Some people actually abandon BDSM altogether, feeling - sadly - that they are no longer up to the demands it places on their body.
Has growing older limited, changed your ability to enjoy dominance, submission, physical s&m?
Is it something you worry about it?
Are you mindful of your diet and exercise in an effort to maintain a vigorous old age?

I don’t know how I’ll feel when I reach my 60’s but I am 43 right now and have enjoyed bdsm in some way since I was 17.
I know a lot of folks that are in the lifestyle way into thier 50’s so age might not be a problem so much as how healthy body wise you are.
If you have problems with your knees, kneeling might pose a problem.
Also there may be shifts in the way we play as we age or rather grow as people. Right now I can handle a heavy duty beating where I brusie heavy, perhaps in my 60’s that won’t be possible. That still doesn’t mean that I might just scale it down a bit.
I suppose the old saying comes to mind. “use it or lose it.”
