Well, happy birthday. And I am so sorry for the loss of your wife.
Also know that a man your age is in high demand as women live longer than men do. So don’t give up hope!

Exactly!!

Churches can butt out, as usual. Neighbors can raise a stink about it if you're keeping them up, I guess. Government? That's my sticking point. Not everybody is as consent-consious as we'd all like them to be. When it comes to the G-men regulating G-spots, I think it's a pain, especially when they pull that crap that's only useful when trying to clamp down on LGBT+ folk (and not in the fun way). But I also think a little bit of government presence is necessary to protect the kids out there that are in consent-vulnerable situations.

You horny old goat! Been a while for me but I haven't given up hope. I think my Christian upbringing prevents me from ever being that liberal, besides orgies went out with the Romans and what did they ever do for us? Apart from the roads.

Broadly speaking, I'd agree. Though if someone is cheating on their partner, then it's that partner's business. Even though that partner is absent from the sexual act (otherwise it wouldn't be cheating.) To a lesser degree, it's the business of people with varying degrees of detachment from the partner. It isn't fun being in the "should I or shouldn't I tell them?" zone. I've been there once or twice myself.

I too believe in polyamory. I'd be perfectly contented in a caring relationship with 2 or more people. A dynamic where we were all romantically involved, rather than just sexually. The trouble is that most people who descrive themselves as poly, particularly on sites like FetLife, aren't looking for true poly. If they're a couple, they're looking for a +1 to spice things up in the bedroom with from time to time. If they're single, then they're just looking to keep multiple casual partners on the go at the same time. The emotional dedication of a true poly relationship is absent in these scenarios, and I'm rather saddened that it's become accepted for poly to mean this.

Horny with no outlet is not a fun place to be. Since you're bi, get on some of the gay contacts sites. You'll soon find some fun.

Hell, I haven't had any kind of sexual encounter for over 10 years. Definitely right that no one has any right to tell you what to do or how to do it in the privacy of your own home. Also there is absolutely nothing wrong with polyamory, other than linguistically it is technically wrong as it merges words from two different languages.

It might just happen for you. Life is so unpredictable.

You have nothing to worry about. I spent much more time with people in their late 60's 70's and 80's by the time I was 25 than most people do by the time they are 50. You know how a young female could probably (so long as there wasn't something seriously wrong with her, but even then...) have sex with someone pretty much whenever she wanted, if she wanted it, but guys are pretty lucky if they get laid at all? That reverses around your age, and goes further in your favor as you get older now - except of course if - well nevermind, I don't see any indication that would apply to you. You're a good looking guy for your age, and at first glance anyway, you seem like a decent guy. You have nothing to worry about. Just meet a large enough number of women your age, especially in person. Join the senior center or something - you'll be a center of attention for a bunch of women - and I understand a lot of those groups have really interesting activities. You'll have fun, and you'll get what you're looking for.

My son is into the Poly-amoury lifestyle,
my daughter is gay,
and I have friends with benefits,
no-ones business but ours,
everyone is different.

Great attitude. I love it. I'm not into your scene but your absolutely right it's nobody's business. Do what you do!

If you aren't hurting anyone its all good mate.

It is great and quite honorable what you did for the woman you loved. Good luck and good fortune for the next chapter of your life.

Happy birthday! Good luck for the rest of your sex life.

I'm curious about why you posted this. Are you looking for anything in particular from us?

Go for it! Have as much fun as you can. It's no one's business what you do.
As long as everyone is consenting, and of legal age, no should have anything to say.
If they do, you can tell them to fuck off.
