Age Gap
Dear Dr. Ava
Q & A Single Men
by Dr. Ava Cadell
Age Gap
Question: I am a 43-year-old man who has recently entered a sexual relationship with a 72-year-old woman. Although the sex has been very satisfying, I have concerns about her health and the physical vigor of our sex life. Even though she claims to enjoy our spirited romps, I am worried that one day she may break a bone, have a seizure, or worse. How do I address this with her in a non-insulting way?
Answer: If you truly enjoy this woman’s company and have feelings for her, to confront her with “your problem” would be insensitive and may put out the spark that has been ignited between you. There is no way to address this without insulting her. Imagine yourself at her age having a female lover 30 years your junior, telling you that she’s afraid you might break a bone or drop dead because of an orgasm. It’s obvious that you are more concerned about your embarrassment than her wellbeing. It’s also your choice whether you want to enjoy your sex life with her or worry and dwell upon negative thoughts about problems that may never arise. You may get sick before she does. She may break a leg going down the stairs. For goodness sake, enjoy every moment that life has to offer and stop creating problems that don’t exist.
