Regarding Santa Bro's post:

"I will be 60 in January. I still wake up with a woody every morning...".

I suggest you urinate before going to bed!

Being the "old curmudgeon" sp. that you have said I am,I have much to say on this subject,but I may have to charge you for the advice. Living here in CR for almost 4 years now has made me forget how old I "really" am. As long as "it" still works, even with the occasional stimulation of "a magic blue pill" (God bless the inventor) and a beautiful chica whose only mission on Earth is to please me for that moment, I will continue on doing just what I am doing. If anything changes 'You'll be the second to know." My life isn't for everyone, but it sure as hell works for me. So as one of the Senior Citizens on this board I say to the young studs "CATCH ME IF YOU CAN".

I think what can help is just taking some time (say, a few months) completely away from the whole scene, and focus on other things that have little to do with hot young women or sex - perhaps some kind of fairly involved project. The project could be work-related, or not. However if your project is work or business-related and you develop or rekindle a passion for it, which is the case with me, it can lead to increased earning power.

For me, by and large I enjoyed immensely my "lark", my 6 month stay in Lima, Peru. Although financially the experience did cost me and could mean a few more years of future work before a secure retirement, for me it was a great break from the work grind and living a male fantasy that in earlier years I couldn't have imagined. Basically, I did took the time because I could. I did find though my desire for more and more sex flagged greatly at times, and I was really under the weather for all of 1 month, and I actually do think part of it was being a bit "phucked" out - having such easy access to too much of a good thing.

But now, I'm refocusing on my career and making money - my real career, not just fooling around teaching a little English - and my travel experiences are going to be limited for awhile as they were before. I guess I'm sort of transmuting all of the sexual energy into the career direction (something author Naploeon Hill wrote about in his book "Think and Grow Rich"), and hopefully it will enable me to continue to get and keep good paying work even through future economic downturns. Now I do find now when my direction does get pointed back in the other direction, and think in particular of one of my best lays in Lima that I look forward to doing again next time I go back, the desire now is as strong as ever and when I get back it is going to be GREAT.

Whatever you do, for sure, good self-care and a good diet of natural food on the high-side in protein and low side in carbs goes a long way - at least for me as constitutionally I'm a small-thin adrenal type, and lack of sleep quickly wears me out. I even lost that morning wood a couple weeks back in January - not good. Fortunately that phase passed and the fun returned in a good way for the home stretch, just had to pace myself a bit more...

Great Post GR........I have to agree with your choices as I have thought the same thing since I have more actively pursued this hobby. I am of the opinion that we can expect a decrease in our ability to perform as we age. Notice I did not say lack of interest or inability to perform, just the physical side to aging that makes it more difficult. With that in mind, I more recently have decided to front-load the situation, before my anticipared retirement in 11 years, at the young age of 60. Who knows what will happen between now and then and I would hate to miss all the pleasure life has to offer by waiting another 11 years, just to find out I can't easily partake in those pleasures I had planned on. Not to mention, the need to be more fiscally restrained in order to retire at an earlier age.

To all....great to hear all the different opinions on the subject. All are valid and offer differing perspectives that should at least be considered into one's own deliberations.

I am glad to be a Member of this Exclusive Club!

Someone PLEASE STOP Me.................LOL

Even within the context of this forum, it seems kind of twisted to be basing one's entire retirement strategy on their ability to monger well, doesn't it?

But I have this fantasy of doing the following: using Costa Rica as a home base, take a couple of years to spend two to three months each in Colombia, Peru, Rio and Thailand. The longer stays would not only provide the opportunity for high-level mongering, but also allow time to fully explore each country, which of course have far more to offer than just women. It might mean having to work longer in the end - but it's something I really want to experience while I have the health and vitality to fully enjoy it.

Hey, maybe my fortunate friend Xman will join me in the endeavor...

GR,

When I sold my company in 03, I made a decision to enjoy life for a few years even if it meant going back to work for longer, later. I do not regret a minute of it. In four years I have:

1) Played on the Poker tour for ten months
2) trained for a year and ran a marathon
3) Took a no reservation 14,652 mile motorcycle trip
4) went to the dog park with my dog every morning for two years
5) moved to Costa Rica for 11months and 8 days

my thought process was that I wanted to do some things on my list at 40 rather than 60. I was also recently divorced and have no Ch*ldren. My prior business was also a high travel, 80 hour week deal.

I am not sure how my story will end, but I do not regret a moment of the journey.

BKTUNA
I am never going home

Not in Thailand GR. With all the fugly old farts I saw with beauties on there arm and living with them I don't see this happening. You might have to adjust you location but thats all. Take the long route and be more comfortable later.

GR,

It's called "viripause," and is the male quivalent to female menopause, a loss of sexual virility.

The good news is that for most men, loss of sexual virility doesn't happen until one's early-mid '60's.

A wise friend of mine once advised me to enjoy my retirement i my forties and fifties, placing resources aside for later but still enjoying life as much as possible in the here and now. Sadly, none of us, not even the handsome and physicially-fit Get Rhythm is guaranteed time/longevity/health. I'm in no position to give advice, as I am only three months or so older than you, but it seems to me that now is the time to enjoy life and your good health.

Viripause is no bullshit and has been well documented. There is no cure. Men in good health and physical condition may or may not enjoy more years of virility. Another sad note: ED drugs can become ineefective over time. After "the thrill is gone" with V., C. & L., the only thing left is direct injections into the base of the picha, vacuum pumps/C*ck rings and/or replacing the cavernosa with a Reebok-style air bladder. Sigh.

Carpe diem, amigos.

Sunshine, allow me to disabuse you of a misconception:

The morning erection does not result from bladder pressure. The term "piss-boner" is not factually correct.

Left unmolested, the penis will usually rise and fall cyclically, including during sleep. It's a matter of Circadian rhythms, not urine.

Hope this helps.

Great thread GR-

It makes me take a step back and listen to all the views. We all know hind sight is 20/20, so although I'm in my early 30's it makes me somewhat interested in what the 50+ monger pool would do different if they were me.

I have done Tailand, PI, Korea, Germany, Italy and Prague (ok, enough of the resume)

So in short I guess I'm trying to be smart now so I know the answers when I get to where you are at. I've slowed down a lot as it is already but sometimes I really think it's because (damn this sounds cocky) I get my share of ass down here in South Florida.

So it's easy to take things for granted, thats why I dont really do the QBF thing and Phuck as many as I can when I go there. So with my vitality still seeming strong it's hard to even consider your position right now, but at the same time I'm sure you didn't need to think about it either. I mean, day 2 of my return I was in a threesome in my own bedroom.
when will it all end? Who knows, but I'd sure be interested in hearing what some guys would do different that I could take advantage of now...

GR starts some of the most interesting threads


This quote pulled from above speaks volumes to me. I think part of the issue in mongering is that it can become a lifestyle/addiction that is hard to pull out of. Some are more inclined than others to be totally captivated by it.

I have probably stated my moderate approach to this many times on this board. Mongering to me is like alcohol, recreational drugs, or extreme sports. Its fun to do from time to time or "for a season"...but if done to access or to the point where it is your whole life, I think it loses it's allure and attraction...just like too much alcohol or other substances.

Not all, but I believe MOST mongers on this board are really wanting a real GF...someone who truly loves them for who they are...give/take...all that jazz. And I still believe MOST of the women in the world underneath all the bullshit are wanting the same. Personally I stay in Latin America and now have a committed relationship only because Latinas seem the most qualified and honest in that arena. When you find that...the urge or joy of mongering really disappates quickly...at least it did for me. Its nice to know that women are close by and readily available at a moments notice without worry or moral police following you everywhere. But when you find a true GF...that really become irrelavent, at least for a while.

As for the valuation of economics, security and all that comparing USA to these Latin destinations...that is a call each individual has to make. I cut bait with the USA in late 2001...after getting pretty busted in the tech stock market. While it has not always been easy, I have found you CAN live and do business outside the USA...and I think there are advantages to doing so...especially in the upcoming years when I see the USA going through some financial corrections and globalization catching up to where opportunities may actually be better outside that system. The mantra used to be offshore that if you could live on Pesos, and keep your money and income in dollars, you had the world by the tail. I am afraid the future slogan may be keeping your money in EUROS or Yuans ...

GR
This is something that I have wrestled with for the last five years. I am now 60 and the thrill of 3, 4, or 5 chicas a day really does not interest me any longer. I recently returned from CR and one a day is enough for me now, if that. The thrill of the hunt is still there, but I am so much pickier. A 7 or 8 with a terrific personality is so much more appealing than a 10 with bad attitude. Call it getting older, but I now personally think that time is the major enemy for all of us and it all boils down to how we wish to spend our remaining years. I now have two years until I am vested in my pension plan and also two years until I can retire on SS. Between the two, I will have a "guaranteed" income such as it is of about 2.5K per month. Is that enough?? Who can say for sure, but my passion is still the fact that I can earn a living or at least supplement my income with poker (live, not tournament) as I did for so many years, and have that additional income to support my retirement, but I won't have to do it 5 or 6 days a week.

I will probably not (although who can say for sure), as I thought I might, retire in CR. Possibly Panama, possibly Peru. What I am saying is no matter what you do, develop your own plan and stick to it. Each of us is comfortable with a different formula, but whatever yours is, go for it. Be very realistic and do whatever works for you. As you know, I am fairly fit as well, but the desire (mentally, emotionally, and physically) for a long string of chicas has long faded. I would rather be alone than just go after the constant barrage of sport phucking, at least at this stage of my life. At each stage in life priorities are different and they change over time as well. What works for me is retire with a little less income at 62 because i have absolute confidence that I can supplement my income just as I am doing now. I can work as a consultant in computers or networking and play poker as well. In other words, my time, as opposed to only money, is more valuable in my later years. I won't sit at home and vegetate nor will I worry about where my next dollar comes from. Find a few or many hobbies, likes, desires, and go do things, whatever they are, and do some of the things that may be outside of your comfort zone. You'll love it I'm sure. Ultimately though, as many have stated, you have to do what you are comfortable with and only you know what that is.

Wow! Brilliantly said. <applause> Your plan sounds great for you, and your point is well-taken that each of us needs to make a plan and find a style suited to each individual.

Maybe it's not about screwing per se; as we age, I'm starting to believe that it's as much about touch, communication, kink/fetish/costumes/toys as it is about diving Mr. Porpoise into the Pink Clam. Perhaps as I age I will seek friendship, affection, relaxation, a cook and a decent enema with or without nipple clamps, retiring in 14 years at around $5K/month, because if I retire in C.R. maybe I'll need $60K/year to be comfortable.

I also believe that my body at 50 has nowhere to go but up, physical condition-wise. I can try to fool myself with a factory tan, tooth whitening and hair dye, but my body shows lack of serious work/use. So for me, better days are yet to come.

For each of us the process will be different. I hope your journey and mine through the process will be pleasant or at least fairly painless.

And to the old f*ckers among us... You go ahead, caballero! <more applause> Gives me hope that my chimbo will be useful for something more than pissing a decade from now.

Here's the story from an older point of view.
I am 66. I have been a monger since I was 18. I've been going to CR since 96.
I have been happily married to a gringa for 30 years (my second and a keeper).
I do not drink or smoke.
I exercise every day.

As I have gotten to this age the old joke about the two aging friends talking where the one says "Do you remember when we used to chase the girls?" and the other answers "Yes, but I don't remember why." has taken on serious meaning.

Yes, I am coming to the end of the line.

Do I get it off every time? No.
Do I enjoy it every time? Yes.
Do I need or desire it as much as I used to? No.

My money is still green at the DR and other places and a hundred pounds of arm candy is still a very enjoyable way to spend a couple of hours.
