Comments on: Gay Sex After 50: It’s Harder Now! /news/gay-sex-after-50-its-harder-now/208164 Setting Australia’s LGBTI agenda since 1979 Thu, 30 Dec 2021 01:37:03 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.1 By: Robert McCormick /news/gay-sex-after-50-its-harder-now/208164#comment-651220 Thu, 30 Dec 2021 01:37:03 +0000 https://starobserver.com.au/?p=208164#comment-651220 As one of the “Older Cohort” of GLBTIQ+ Community, living in SA where today there is not a single Gay Pub, yes there are few gay friendly bars and pubs but you had better not be too flamboyant. The only really Gay Pub was sold and the new owners made it abundantly clear they “Did not want the high-spending poofs coming in”. They newly ultra-conservative police and councils have long-since closed down the “beats” so even if you want sex there is nowhere to go!
I can still remember when I was in my teens and early 20s in Sydney. It was a crime for men, but not women, to be homosexual. Despite being illegal we were still very active and had as much sex as we wanted. The older gay men – late 40s and upward – brought about their own rejection. If you were young, it did not matter whether you were good looking of not, as closing time approached these older men, especially if they were in well-paid jobs, were an utter pest forcing their attention on the younger people and expecting us to welcome them.
I don’t know what it is like today but feel sure nothing much will have changed.
Sex, as I have found,, will come I just have to wait a bit but when it does it is great fun!

Would be interested to read such an article. Is there a slight chance this is written by someone under 50 writing about someone under 50 researching the subject? Who has a gosh-it-must-be-hard attitude?! Apol’s if I’m sounding too cynical!!
