The Lo Zone

A groovy place in cyberspace run by author Lolita Files. Come on in. Bring some Pepsi.

 
Lo Fun Fact #1
"Lolita Files" is my real name. It is not a pen name, as incredible as that may seem. There are plenty of Files family members and people who have known me for years capable of validating this. As for the "Lolita" part, my mother named me after the movie based on Nabokov's book, although she saw or read neither. To this day, she has no idea what a "Lolita" is.
Lo Fun Fact #2
I love fried chicken and fabulous shoes. If you ever want to get on my good side, send Popeye's or Mr. Chicken (my favorite spot in Cleveland) and a pair of Christian Louboutins.
Lo Fun Fact #3
Never show up unannounced or without a Pepsi (preferably Pepsi Jazz Caramel Cream). Better yet, how about not show up at all?
Lo Fun Fact #4
I hate the telephone. Don't get mad if I don't call you. I don't call anyone. Don't call me asking why I don't call. Just don't call, okay?
Lo Fun Fact #5
I love the internet!!! I love communicating through the internet!!! You can e-mail me and odds are I'll e-mail you right back (if I'm not in the middle of a major project). Makes up for my hangup about the phone, doesn't it? See, I'm not so bad after all!!!
Lo Fun Fact #6
I can't stand IMing. Please don't IM me. You will get the cold shoulder. I don't like giving people the cold shoulder, so please don't put me in that position.
Lo Fun Fact #7
I have four five six wonderful, slap-happy dogs, a bird (some kind of dove/pigeon mix), and a cat, all of whom I love to pieces. If you meet me and ask me about my dogs, bird, and cat, we'll be instant friends. If you meet me and ask me why the f*ck I have four five six dogs, a bird, and a cat, see the above fun fact for how I will respond.
In Search Of Expiration Dates.
Tuesday, November 07, 2006
I was reading one of the national papers online last night and came across one of those advice columns that runs in several papers around the country. The column was so interesting, I ended up going back a few days to read more. Lo and behold, I came across this:
Dear Amy: Two years ago my lifelong friend, "Sandy," and I surprised my husband with a menage a trois for his 60th birthday. My husband and I have been married for more than 30 years. This is every man's fantasy, so I decided to treat him.

For the last 10 years, Sandy has lived on the East Coast, after her husband died. We have always been close -- she was the maid of honor at our wedding -- and both families vacationed together with our kids.

When I suggested it, Sandy laughed but said she'd go along.

I was surprised and thrilled when we did it, especially because she and my husband spent the whole time concentrating on me. We laughed the next day, saying that we are a bunch of old folks doing something we heard about when we were young but too "uptight" to try. We have not done it again, and have not talked about it, other than just mentioning it in passing. However, I fantasize about her often.

My 60th birthday is soon, and I want to do it again. When I mentioned this to Sandy, she said she would look forward to it.

But I have not told my husband. I have never been attracted to anyone during my marriage -- man or woman -- and I have been a loyal wife.

I'm counting the days until my birthday, and I feel like a teenager in love for the first time. Does this mean I'm gay?
Amy's advice, as far as this blog is concerned, doesn't really matter, per se, which is why I haven't listed it. (If you must know what she said, click here.) I guess my question is---at what point is a person considered too old to have a ménage? Is there a cutoff point, or do you think there are some ninety year-olds out there still clanging their collective bones? In the age of Viagra, the sexual shelf life of men has been extended considerably, and I'm sure some of those men are probably hungry for all the prolonged strange they can get. (Mind you, I've never had a ménage, so I'm not exactly the one to know the answer to this.)

Perhaps this applies to the whole concept of swinging, too.

Are you ever technically too old to orgy?*

*A few years ago, I briefly dated a guy whom I discovered, much to my alarm, was a very active swinger. Imagine the horror of me---a textbook monogamous girl---finding herself with someone who put the "
he" in Hedonism. It was a disaster. We were doomed from day one. Our (sexless) relationship had the life span of a firefly. Once his penchant for group clamoring was out in the open, he very excitedly told me he could see himself swinging well into his eighties. Good luck with that, dude. There's nothing sexier than a room full of dried dicks and desiccated cooches, a trough of Astroglide, and high, high hopes.

I'm just sayin'.

    My first response was shock, but we own three high-rise apartment buildings with an elderly population. Over the years I have come to the conclusion that a young pimp becomes an old pimp, his game is just slower.

    That said, based on what I've seen and heard in the buildings they are definitely active well into the later years. And, like you said, Viagra has put a whole new spin on the game. Around the first of the month I kept seeing all of these "youngish" women visiting the building. My logical thought was someone's daughter or granddaughter was coming to visit. Over time it occurred that these were workign girls and they were coming to ratify a deal. We even had one that fathered, what one of managers called, "a Viagra baby."

    So, no, Lo, there are no expiration dates . . . although I believe there probably should be.

    They can do it, I just dont want to hear about it. It creates too many visuals all of which are disturbing to me.

    It reminds me of that movie "Somethings Gotta Give" with Jack Nicholson (I love him) & Diane Keaton. The scene where they are using their glasses and she's taking his blood pressure before they have sex is flippin hilarious. Thats prolly as far I would go before hurling. I want to keep the fantasy that my Big Mommah & Paw Paw are not doing anything in the wee hours of the morning.

    The majority of people who live in my neighborhood are elderly. It is a very quiet, peaceful place to live. So, imagine my surprise when I found out that the couple who live a few houses down from me are...SWINGERS!!! Not only are they swingers, but the woman is PRESIDENT of the local swingers association!

    Just thinking about it makes me nauseous.

    Old crusty swingers...how gross. This is the funniest post. However, I know for a fact that those old men are still freaks. Because everytime my friends and I would go out, we would see grandpas trying to get their swerve on. Hell one of my friends was ignorant enough to make a baby with one of those old fools. Now she has an old man for a son and he is only 7.
