Over the hill and over 35 (96)

However, the OP highlights 35 as a significant hurdle and from what was written, I gained the impression that the question was about pairing off into a long term relationship. If that is indeed the intended crux of the question, then I might be able to agree in a very limited way, but for a different reason.

I have observed at our parties that although we get guests from below 20 to over 70, there is a slight thinning out around the late 30s and there is a strong representation from mid to late 40s onwards. I've always put this down to people raising children and therefore not being able to come out as much as they did before and they will again once the kids have become independent.

Perhaps the difficulty described by the OP is not that subs of 35+ are undesirable, but that there are comparatively few potential partners of a similar age who are not already spoken for.

i agree which is why i dont go to them even if i am under 35. even more worrying is that it seems up and down the country, the rules are being bent for some but not for others, and that 16/17 year olds are being let in, whilst 36 year olds are being shoved out

Actually, I think there's something tragic about young beautiful people who think they rock the scene when actually they're just self centred and annoying, and eventually grow out of it around their late 20s. Not all young people are like this, I might add, but clearly you are.

How ridiculous to think one can't be middle aged and into BDSM, what do you expect people to do, change their sexuality so as not to offend young people? I actually think it is rather a beautiful thing to see so many beautiful, confident women enjoying their sexuality at all ages. And I am absolutely sure you will feel ashamed of your past views when you are a middle aged submissive yourself.

commitment is like ham and eggs. the chicken makes a contribution, the pig makes a commitment.

what part of the debate would that be

Another one bites the dust.

How precious that the young see us old folk as something to make fun of as we play... sadly age is something that you will never avoid and when you reach an age of maturity and realize how you sound and come across now. maybe then you will find men who are interested.... I hope you arn't actually as you come across...

Don't make them a priority, when they only make you an option...

You're not though. You may at prime baby creating age but sexual confidence is commonly thought of as coming to women much later in life. Most women above 35 (and we all used to be 23) will agree with me.

So if he was speaking the truth, how do you explain the over 35 subs who have partners or are having fun? There are lots about, if you care to look.

Cock teaser to the Gentry.

easier to say what isnt. There have been some interesting points but mostly I find it a depressing thread.

Surely that would not be possible.
