Can a woman of a certain age be hot?

After I'd decided on this title for my thread I realized that it could be misinterpreted by some. To be as clear as I can, I'm not referring to those occasions when I am experiencing my own personal summer. (Women over 45 will understand what I mean by that. LOL)

Until the last several years I was most reluctant to pose nude. Despite my photographer's repeated assurances I felt that my body wasn't hot enough for sexy or erotic photos. For photos from my 20's and 30's, I finally came to realize how right he was. In large measure that was due to the patience and understanding shown to me by a new, young g/f who helped me shed most of the negative body image my mom had instilled in me.

Some might disagree that I was hot when I was younger. Each according to his own taste, as the French put it. Here is a link to a scan of a Polaroid taken when I was 25, my very first nude. My initial scan was even poorer quality till my g/f used her considerable photo-editing skills to make it acceptable for sharing.

There follow links to scans of two 35mm slides taken in different sessions either side of my 30th birthday.

Last is a link to a scan of a slide taken when I was 32.

Based on these photos would you agree that I had a hot body when I was in my 20's and 30's? Honest opinions only, please. Thanks!

From time to time I may add other photos from my younger days in response to requests if, of course, there are any.

Some consider the phrase "woman of a certain age" demeaning to women. I've always felt quite the reverse and much prefer it to the over-used adjective "mature," let alone the kiss of death adjective "old." I feel just as vibrant and alive as I did in the photos I'm sharing here and infinitely more knowledgeable, albeit with a bit less energy and a few more aches and pains. A few might even challenge me as being beyond the upper age limit for correct use of the phrase. That's their problem.

I plan to address why I started my own thread and my expectations for it in a subsequent post.

I'll end by extending you a warm welcome to my thread and hope that you'll join me regularly.

Hi,
U certainly have a very hot body, darling. Suggest u trim ur bush a bit, leave ur mound a soft downy.Keep me flushed and hot with ur nudes. :cattail::rose::rose::kiss::kiss:
 
Fantastic

I apologize for kind if hi-jacking your thread earlier when referencing the voyeur stuff. You r correct in that comment actually being intended for another of your fans.

You are spot in correct; however, that the attraction here is equal parts narrative and photographic. While you may not be a guru, you demonstrate mastery of the skills. Your photographic contributions are a 10; however, your narrative puts them at a 20. Sharing the erotic back story of particular photographs is highly erotic. Reading the details of trimming rituals, for example, with the description of the physical changes in your pussy being described.....OMG!

You are always a great read and thanks as much for that as the pictures!

Regarding your offer to share photos that include a requisite towel to address the realities if your arousal would be greatly appreciated and enjoyed - I am quite confident that I speak for others here as well. I have a very great appreciation for a woman's natural juices and, big surprise, perhaps may favorite sexual activity is to spend a considerable amount of time both creating and then enjoying those juices orally.

Always look forward to checking into your thread and look forward to seeing your responses!

All the best!

Mike

Ps- have you posted stories on lit yet? I apologize in advance, I check lit via smartphone only and searching us not so easy given size constraints (no double meaning should be inferred :)~ )
 
What an outstanding woman. Not only are you beautiful, sexy but your self confidence just flows out. Looking forward to more of you. Thank you for sharing yourself with us.

Apology accepted, but totally unnecessary. Apologies are appropriate IMHO only when you're mean or say something that's not nice.

I hope your use of "h-j" doesn't attract unwanted attention from the NSA which uses their supercomputers to scan all our electronic communications for hints of terrorism.

Thanks for all your compliments. As to towels, I'll try to search the file folders where I think some photos may be and see what I have.

Mood swings and my thread's title

More than a month ago I had an epiphany that I had become more labile than usual. Nowhere close to full-blown bipolar disorder as defined clinically in the DSM, but sudden and unexpected swings nonetheless. The swings have not been too extreme which is the only good thing about them.

My self-confidence was at its lowest ebb in ages right before I decided to start my thread which is why I choose the title for it that I did. A number of viewers perceptively picked up from the text of my initial post that my title reflected the loss of self-confidence I was experiencing.

Coupled with my innate tendency to swing back, the appreciative reception of my thread and all the flattering comments on my photos, specially the recent ones, have restored my confidence to where I want it to be. I could not be more thankful to the wonderful audience here at Lit.

I'm completely at peace again with who I am and comfortable with my body image. My body is wholly appropriate for my age. There are all sorts of plastic surgical procedures I could afford so I could look more like Jane Fonda, but not the cost of losing my self-respect.

Now I wish I could change the title of my thread to a simple declarative sentence: A woman of a certain age can be hot. That appears to be beyond the technical limits of Lit, though I'm not enough of a computer geek to know for sure. If anyone knows how I'd be most grateful if you'd share that with me.

Rose
 
You've said so many wonderful things that I'm finally at a loss as to how to respond other than to offer my heart-felt thanks. You've certainly touched all the bases that I could ever wish for.

Rose


the response is easy, a(n) (erotic) pic is worth a thousand words... wonderful pics and more would even generate more comments.... heath
 
So happy for you!

I am so happy to read that we here have been able to lift your spirits. It is really great to hear! It is also super to read that your are firmly against plastic surgery, that you are proud and confident in your own skin. I must say that is very apparent in your posts and sharing and is proof that sexy is as much a state mind as a physical condition. I personally believe that the aging process of the human body is glorious! Seeing a woman's breasts take on a pendulous form, darkening of her labia and anus, increase and softening of cushion on the back side- all of these and the many others a glorious. Myself, for example, enjoys the fact that my balls are hanging and swinging more freely, I enjoy the fact that as I have aged I can "go longer", I enjoy the fact that arousal has moved from the strictly physical to a mental state as well.

Your are certainly hot in all aspects and your hubby is a lucky man. Thanks to him as well for taking all of these pictures. They are fantastic!

I am also glad to see that this post was not what I thought it was going to be: a farewell. As someone who has been around lit for a while, have grown accustom to posts like yours ending with: so I am in a different place so thanks and I won't be posting more. I truly hope that you will be here for the long haul and will continue to share your pics and narrative insight.

Thanks again!

Mike
 
I'm intrigued and always willing to consider suggestions, specially one that might relieve the tedium and boredom of housework.

Rose

I'm sure that I could come up with some creative ways to rekieve those problems...photo shoots like dusting or doing dishes in various states of undress or stripteases as you work, rewards game with photos and/or sexual acts for completing boring chores in a timely manner...offer rewards to your photographer when he pitches in, etc.
That's just off the top of my head. ;) :rose:'s
 
I think smiling and laughing, specially laughing at myself when needed, are necessary not only to be sexy, but also happy as well.

Let's hope your risk is no more than a little extra rain and that my thread will help pierce all the dark clouds as well.

Rose

1000% agree.

That is my hope. We are supposed to get 5-12 inches of rain and 25-35 mph winds.
It does & will continue to do so! ;)
 
My sanctuary is sturdily built and guaranteed to survive even tornadoes. There should be sufficient room for such an admirer of my photos. Thanks!

Rose

That is good to know and I thank you for the shelter sexy Rose. ;)
There is no better shelter through lifes storms for a man than the santuary of a sensual woman's embrace!
 
Change is integral to aging and there's nothing that can be done about it anyway. So I've generally gotten comfortable with its inevitability and accepted that if I keep the right attitude I can still be sexy and hot as you and so many others have so kindly said. Thanks!

Rose

Aye, I would like to think so as well. As I am sure many here can atest, that you spend your teeanage and early 20s assuming that becoming 30 is the end of your life as you know it. Society has painted a picture that you begin a downhill trend at this point in your life and suddenly over night your OLD. That is, until you reach it and your view changes a bit.

Reaching this point in my life this year, initially felt as if maybe I was not as capable as I might have been 10 years ago. Back aches, new joint pains, hair in places that i thought it would not come lol. Eventually coming to the relization that this is only the beginning, the first real milestone in life. I am still useful, viable, full of ideas, sex drive is even stronger now and the wisdom gained leads you to more practical decsions, now that your not thinking with only the little head. I guess two heads are better than one lol.

I have compared it to my old truck. While the miles have increased, rust is showing, exhaust is leaking some (by the way the older you get, never trust a fart) , holes in the interior and its get up and go has started to slow down and stop. It is just now getting broken in, no need to trade it in and replace it. Just restore it, give it new life and purpose. Besides we all know women like trucks secretly. ;)
 
Naturally!

Someone suggested that you trim your bush. NONSENSE. Keep it natural.

I happen to love a hairy woman. :heart::D:kiss:

I've taken some time and read through the whole of this thread. Now I've found it, I'm subscribed. It's been interesting, both for the narrative and the pics, and some of the thoughts I had are made redundant by your most recent post. But not all.

It is unfortunate that your mother was cruel and emotionally abusive, yet as you have pointed out, her young life was very difficult. Still, that doesn't change the fact you could have grown into the same bitter person, but something -- opportunity, education, important friendships, mentors -- something transformational happened and you have a life of accomplishment.

Any woman who has had one male lover her whole life and after four decades and counting, still finds that one male lover so exciting and satisfying that she has sex every day, poses for erotic photography, well even if she does have a smoking body, that still makes for a very exceptional woman. And it gets better, she shares those erotic poses with a growing legion of admirers. If that is not enough, it turns out she's open and candid, not hiding an emotional condition some would find shameful, but putting it out there right along with her physical nekkid self. Just one more reason you have my respect and admiraton Rose, and yeah, I'd say your four years of therapy was money well spent.

You get shy if someone refers to you as m'am or a lady, so let me say in the kindest and most affectionate way possible, you are a great old broad and my soul sings when you talk about your "reliable cunt." No pussy talk for you, and still an RC, albeit a different RC than momma envisioned. I'll take your word on reliable, but on the visual evidence, she is certainly a beauty, with a lean and hungry look.

Let's step back a moment to your opening salvo, the underlying theme of a woman of a certain age. Let's face it, like everything else in this busy world, it's a moving target, and if forty is the new thirty, then 65 has to be the new "of a certain age." I like the French take on it ... ""it has a long history in French, where it refers to women of fortyish and thereabouts who are able to initiate boys and young men into the beauties of sexual encounters. http://www.nytimes.com/1995/07/02/m...n-of-a-certain-age.html?pagewanted=all&src=pm

Is your body still hot? You are, and for your generation your body is phenomenal, but age and gravity will have their way and it is not the body you had in your twenties and thirties. Your early pics show an astonishingly attractive woman, and it seems unfathomable that you had body image issues, and I do love your hirsuite cunt, but I must say I am most impressed by your old broad body. We all start out looking pretty good nekkid, but not many woman who've brought children into the world and spent a career as a graphite commando, go halfway into their sixties and look like you. Splendid, spectacular, sensational -- yeah, point made. You are a fox.

Show more of your old pics, hell yes, and keep the contemporary pics coming, hell yes again. Love your thread. And thank your photographer. If he hadn't been patient and persistent, we might not have had this pictoral history of an especially attractive woman.
 
What an outstanding woman. Not only are you beautiful, sexy but your self confidence just flows out. Looking forward to more of you. Thank you for sharing yourself with us.

Thanks for your compliments and encouragement. I'm the one who's more than thankful for finding such a receptive audience for my thread. Sharing is easy when it receives such a warm welcome and I've given no thought to ending any time soon.

Rose
 
the response is easy, a(n) (erotic) pic is worth a thousand words... wonderful pics and more would even generate more comments.... heath

I like a mix of words and images, specially when the photos serve to illustrate the thoughts.

I've always been curious about the origin of the thousand word equivalence. I would guess it wasn't intended literally, bu to convey the idea that a picture is more expressive. Sometimes true, sometimes not IMHO. Many women seem to think that the Grey trilogy is more erotic than any collection of images.

Having discussed this with my photographer more than once I like to think I do understand the male interest in erotic photos and will try not to stint on sharing mine.

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts in such detail and for the many compliments you've given me. It's also great to read that someone else is so accepting of the aging process and comfortable with his body as it has continued changing. And gotten better, of course.

For a decade or more maybe, I've wondered if my photographer was unusual in lasting much longer than when he was younger. It's reassuring to know from your experience that he's nowhere near being unique.

Bidding adieu was the farthest thought from my mind when I was drafting my post. Quite the opposite. I've had too much fun and received so many flattering comments that I can't imagine when this adventure will ever end.
Ending it so soon after starting would be worse than callous IMHO, showing contempt and indifference for those who've taken the time to look at my thread and post their comments.

Thanks for all the interesting suggestions. I'll discuss them with my photographer to get his reaction as to how whether any of them might work from his side of the camera. He has a much better eye for these things than I.

Rose
 
1000% agree.

That is my hope. We are supposed to get 5-12 inches of rain and 25-35 mph winds.
It does & will continue to do so! ;)

Has the storm reached you yet? When I looked at a weather map earlier today it seemed to be moving quite slowly and was not very far inland. Fortunately the winds seem to have diminished into the 40 mph range.

I hope you won't lose power when it's overhead so your computer can dispel some of the gloom.

Rose
 
That is good to know and I thank you for the shelter sexy Rose. ;)
There is no better shelter through lifes storms for a man than the santuary of a sensual woman's embrace!

Thanks. Nor can this woman think of a better shelter than the warmth and tenderness of a sensitive and caring man.

Rose

You have a great attitude about aging and seem very comfortable with your body as it continues evolving. So many just shut down and withdraw. I find it specially sad with sex. I have more than a few g/f's around my age who found it easier to give up on sex as their bodies aged rather than put in the effort to deal with their new limitations.

Rose

I happen to love a hairy woman. :heart::D:kiss:

I hope it won't cause you to lose interest in my thread but earlier this year in April I agreed to let my photographer begin trimming my pubic hair. He's very pleased with the result and, after years of resisting, I'm was surprised that I like it as well. It's on my list for future posts to give the complete back-story.
