It’s easy to think of Grandma and Grandpa as old and wrinkled. Too old to enjoy or even think about sex. But most older people will tell you that their minds are still active and that they are actively thinking about sex.
Of course, muscles can become weak and bones can become stiff and painful, but the mind can imagine almost anything. And there is no limitation for the thoughts and memories of the elderly.
Grandparents, like teenagers, think that sex is okay. And, in our modern society, many tech-savvy grandparents use the Internet for more than just searching for clam chowder recipes. Older people often turn to the Internet for company after their partner has passed away. And, like young people, they can become addicted to Internet pornography.
Grandfather on the internet
Internet porn sites are easy to find, and many are free. And, especially, older men are quick to take advantage of the variety of Internet pornography available today.
Since many porn sites are free, they are easily included in the budget of older men who receive a pension or Social Security. These sites offer an ever-changing variety that will appeal to the male brain.
From man’s perspective, variety is the spice of life. The male tires quickly after having sex with a single female. Like reading the same girl’s magazine over and over is just boring.
But the Internet is a completely different matter. A male will quickly revive when a new female is introduced to him. This variety is what makes Internet porn sites so stimulating and addictive for men. A new scene with new actors is introduced to keep male viewers excited and glued to the screen.
Grandpa can become so quickly addicted to Internet pornography that he neglects household duties, social obligations, and simply reclines in his chair in front of the computer screen.
And, the variety can mean viewing harsh and violent porn on the paid sites. This can easily deplete your grandfather’s savings and suck up the money he should use for food, medicine, and clothing.
Grandmother on the internet
Some grandmothers are drawn to porn sites designed for women. And there are some sites available designed for older women. But, perhaps, like many women, most tech-savvy grandmothers like to talk. You can find many chat rooms for seniors online. And many elderly widows use chat rooms to talk to men. After all, what else can you do during the day than have interesting conversations with men of a similar age?
In faceless, anonymous chat rooms, people often reveal personal things beyond what they had revealed to their spouse within their marriages. There is a strong bonding. Cats often turn to feelings of loneliness and need for company. And this can easily lead to talking about sex. And most women prefer this to watching actual porn sites. Better than reading romance novels, talking to a real person live is usually more exciting.
But talking often leads to action. And, meeting “friends” made in chat rooms is normal. Sometimes these meetings work out in a great relationship. But, no matter how much conversation you’ve had, you don’t really know who is on the other side of the conversation. You could be talking to an abuser who lures you in with words you want to hear.
Beware of older people
While age should endow one with a certain wisdom, the Internet is often so new and novel that older people lose their sense of perspective. Just as young men and women can be drawn to the Internet with its sex and social sites, older people can too. The brain’s pleasure centers and neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin work the same way, and it’s just as easy to get addicted to internet sex.
Older people should be careful when dealing with the Internet, especially when it comes to building relationships.
