> I've only ever met one single couple where true polyamory worked over the long term, and they just celebrated 20 years together.
I recently found out that some elderly friends of mine have been in a polyamorous relationship for almost a decade (we should note that there is inherent bias in finding successful polyamorous relationship, since the social stigma means that people are likely to hide it).
This couple has been married for 50 years and raised two children. When the wife retired, she decided she was done having sex for the rest of her life. The husband still wanted to have sex, so they agreed that he would get a girlfriend (a widow of the same age bracket). By all accounts it appears to be working out for all involved.
I can, even as a man. As women get older, sex can become extremely painful for a variety of reasons. Who knows, maybe her partner was also very large sized. So yea, if it isn't bringing you enjoyment any more, why do it?
