Do you think that with age and becoming wiser (hopefully), do you feel more open minded to try new things and new adventures? Or do you feel that you always wanted to try certain things, you just didn't have the courage or the circumstances weren't right

More like getting over the whole sex thing and getting on with my life!  Friendship and physical closeness that expresses that, rather than mimic reproductive acts.  

The S.O. and I have become much more adventurous over the last ten years. Group activities, sharing/swinging etc. In some ways she has gone further since she found out she likes sex with other women. It's funny she doesn't consider her self bi, just a hetro who likes, when the sprit moves her, to eat pussy.

It depends of what you've done before you turned 60, the fact is everyone of us, FATHER TIME will become an issue, if your life is happily fulfilled you tend to relax and and enjoy every single minutes until you tilt and if your life is unhappy and unfulfilled you tend to overdrive, catch up mode with whatever is missing, to fill all the voids and become risky and reckless, dominates your decisions making and have a significant impact of your remaining breath. IMHO....

I have had some grest experiences in the hobby
Great ladies
As i get older i am leaning more toeard fbsm than fs orbgfe
judt lie bsck and get psmpered.
Given your profile and reviews the questikn is would someone who has nrver tried meeting a TS provider.

Congratulation
Bouncing around TER I took a look at the Top 100 providers in NewJersey

Rather, I think it is the exposure from reading things on TER and elsewhere that has titillated my fancy and led me to try new and different things

when u say guys wanting to get with guys... thats different than what I suggested. If you do not recognize a transsexual as any diff than a man then i can see the social stigma you may feel. and yes... most men wont say, oh I wanna get on with another man, because that would be perceived as gay. I guess you would have to learn about transsexuals and learn to accept them as females and then post.

I never met melissa carter and she did a good job erasing her provider ads and pics and videos online. Shes retired indeed. I was able to see some pics of her about a year ago and she was indeed sexy and looked wild

awww thank u. i didnt even know i made that list. I should feel blesses and humbled by that.

Hobbyist who are 60 and over have most likely faced many situations requiring far more courage than deciding who they are going to have sex with.

some things I have no interest in.  I want no dick in my hand other than my own, no dick up my ass, no dick in my mouth, and no one's finger playing around my ass that is not purely female.

And I've had more sex these past three years than I had in the 60+ years that preceded them.
I love the ladies. Plus, I haven't experienced everything I hope to with them.  
But when I do, I'm gonna want to just do 'em all again!
I'm making up for lost time and I'm running out of time! I love the ladies.  
My interests and desires begin, and end, with them.  

This hobby pretty much let's all of us try all the adventures of our dreams. In fact, I've done everything I've ever dreamed of sexually. Now I'm just trying to repeat all my favorite things as many times as possible.

In Sex At Dawn psychologist Christopher Ryan suggested a different explanation for the fact that women are much more likely than men to be bisexual.  And it had nothing to do with cultural taboos, but more to do with differences inherent in the brains of women vs men.  If you are interested I think you'll find it a very fascinating book.

I too have had more sex and have experienced more sexual joy, pleasure and satisfaction in these five years than in the previous 60+ years. I never knew what I was missing! Who says that you can't teach an old dog new tricks? I have learned volumes about myself and my capacity as a lover, how to both give and receive sensual pleasure.  Definitely better late than never.

Not only have I become more open minded about trying new things. My attitude has changed towards many things that I previously considered wrong, inappropriate and even immoral. I have learned to appreciate the beauty of sex with different partners, the specialness of two women who enjoy each other, and the erotic fun of threesomes. But most of all I have seen how wrong I was about the women who choose this lifestyle as a profession. i have spent hobby time with women who are intelligent, educated, loving, compassionate, sensitive as well as passionate and sensual,  and who genuinely love and enjoy what they are doing. That has been the most unexpected eye opening and pleasing revelation.  
We are good, upstanding and wholesome people seeking casual pleasure in the most "natural way" possible. And there is nothing wrong with that! I could have never thought or said that previously.
