I Want To Know If People On EP Really Want To Be Friends

True Friendship And Health Are Two Of The Most Important Things In Life.... I am a 76 yr old. Up to now, I thank God for EP, and I mean everyone of those words. EP seems to be a place where I can share who I am, including what may be my one addiction !!

Loneliness can be a killer. I knew what it was like, at the age of around 60, to walk out of a party due to sheer loneliness. I am a Christian, and there is something called "the Success Gospel" that is a killer ! So-called christians take Bible verses like, from Proverbs,
"The righteous man is successful in all he does" and then use it to justify they own success, due their righteousness !! They also apply the converse !
Well, I have been severely hit for six (cricket !!) in business partly because, I "showed too much integrity" !! 95% of so-called christians have "walked by on the other side".

Fortunately for me, although I have been devastated, financially, compared with where I should have been, I have a strong faith in Jesus Christ and a gsoh. I also enjoy very good health. I think that is helped by a gsoh and a few good friends, though many have died.

I am severely pressed for time - aren't most of us ? - but if I can be a good friend to a few here, then I will be. I have to be anonymous for reasons that some of you will have worked out !!! It is to do with what some may call an addiction !

Hello soulrunher,
Thank you for your reply, and I'm really sorry I missed it.
Well, I have been lonely n my marriage for a very long time, longer than I care to admit, though I would tell you, if you really want to know.
The fact that it was a loss of sex was brought home to me in a rather strange, and amusing way..
I was looking in a UK advertising type paper for something very romantic like scaffolding (;-) ). You see I am a very practical guy as well as being an incurable romantic. My eye happened to light on a section called, "Personal Services". I'd never seen or heard before of what was on offer !!! I noted some telephone nos. and rang them. It sounded just like a clear recognition of part of what was missing - sex ! The women sounded very warm friendly and offered something very exciting. When I say part of what was missing, I should really love to find a girl who is not just one off, or very occasional, but someone who might like to be a friend and lover.
A long time has passed since then, and I have had some wonderful sex. But , but but . . . .
Love Peter xx

I can't imagine being in my 60's or 70's and still feeling the way I do. That sucks. How long have you been lonely in your marriage?

Hello there soulrunher ,
Really sorry I haven't replied before :-(( That is the way of EP, you get lost in all the threads counter threads, emoticons, the learning curve, etc. etc.

Well, long story. The sex problems started early. I was a widower and married a marvellous 2nd. wife. I love her, I owe her a lot and she needs me as she becomes more disabled.

I must have been about 50 when the problem started. She was a courageous rape victim, so that may explain it a bit, although sex was good, at the start.

I have been in a marital, sexual desert for 27 yrs !!!! :-((( I wish I could have an open marriage.

I cope, or don't cope, because I am what I am. I suppose I have one addiction, sex, because I am starved of it. I love the company of attractive women, covering the complete age range.

Elsewhere, I have talked about the strange and beautiful situation where I have 2 young lovers, who both know about each other. If it doesn't turn up as a story you will find it on, "I Love The Philippines".

Peter xxxx
