Thanks for this thread Demon Dom. Having been in denial for years and then finally giving in to my desires late in life, I have days when I think 'why the hell didnt I do this years ago' - when my body was better and my mind more open to new things? However slowly but surely I am realising that age should have no bearing at all - you are, as was said above, as young as you feel, and these days I feel wonderful and feel as though I have been taken back 20 years. The future....... who knows, but at least I am willing to look it in the face and embrace it rather than resign myself to 'old age'
