Women in their 70s and 80s are posing nude for a calendar:

[No photos to worry about there, just the story]

As Ron White once said, these are things that make you go, "Brrrrrruhhhh" and shudder.

I'd rather see that than a man in his 70's on the beach in his ill-fitting speedo. Altho I'd rather rather see neither.

But who am I to judge, I'm sure plenty would shudder at the sight of me posing nude also, and that's before the ravages of time (but after the ravages of McDonald's).

As far as non-nakedness-related disguested shudders go, squished bugs do it for me. I don't know why--I can see just about any other gross thing you can think of and be okay with it. But squishing a bug, or seeing a squished bug, or thinking about squishing a bug...it makes me physically sick. And this is from a guy who spent time studying particularly violent homicide scenes. Can't explaine it, can't help it, that's just the way it is.

Yikes! Hope I have the self-restraint to not do this when I am that age!

Squished bugs do it to me too, Fazor.

Aaagh, even reading that description makes me shudder.

BTW, I'm taking orders for the 2008 squashed-bug calender. March features a squished katydid; July, a black-widow smashed with an old shoe...it's very tastefully done

Personally, I'd far rather see an older naked woman than an older naked man. Then again, women are considered old a lot faster in our society than men are. Remember that Sean Connery has routinely had romantic interests in his films who are half his age. Can you see Lauren Bacall doing that?

My wife will be in her 70's in couple decades. I hope I don't shudder. 'Cause I luvver.

Actually, I can, easily. But I suspect most people can not.

Well, it's true that she's still lovely. The point is, rather, can you see Hollywood making a movie where she does?

I can't imagine Hollywood making most of the drek they spew out.

I don't want to see a man, of any age, nekkid or in tight fitting speedos. Having to look at my own self in the shower and changing clothes is more than enough.

There's a little mom and pop little store around here that sells hot dogs (and adult beverages) where I hang out from time to time. It's one of those places where the bull is knee deep. Anyway, several years ago, "mom", the wife was topping cotton about one of her neighbors. Her husband is the son of a character who built one of those first golf courses around here, and they live in a little neighborhood around that course.

Anyway some idiot moved in a house right across from her, and she noticed him moving the grass with a pushmower. It was a large lawn for a push mower. She got to watching and noticed he was wearing nothing but a little thong thing. Basically a little fabric "pouch" in front and nothing else.

She was mad as a hornet about that, getting "mooned" and nearly flashed like that. She started raising cane about that one day at lunch, and some others and I (I was the ring leader, really) started having fun. I suggested she really liked what she saw and was getting turned on. We almost, almost, decided to come in the next day and drop our pants to reveal thongs ourselves. But there was no way, absolutely no way I would could do that even for such a high comic purpose.

Anyway, we had a lot of fun with her about that, and for my trouble I got a hot dog *soaked* in Texas Pete. That started a little round of payback between her and me that's still going on, at least I think. I forget whose turn it is.

Thong Boy, IIRC, got a little talking to as that was getting out of hand and he got several of his neighbors up in arms about it. He claimed he was just trying to get a tan and exercise, I think, and got huffy but they put a stop to it. One of the women made a little comment to his face, that, well "cut him down to size" if you know what I mean which stopped his little display cold in its tracks.

There's an old joke that this is the reason your eyesight goes bad as you get old.

I'll place my order now, one desktop and one wall sized.

Well... they see art in those pictures...

Maybe it's beyond the wrinkled body.

I think some people seem to have a short circuit between their "Naked Person," category and their "Object of Sexual Desire," category. Life is probably much easier when you have those two categories completely seperate and this should avoid the shuddering and other reactions mentioned in this thread. If you don't freak out when you see an elephant, then you shouldn't really freak out when you see a naked old person if you have your categories in order. I mean, it's all just wrinkled skin, isn't it?

I am not following you around really but you come out with such great stuff. Reminds me of the seven ages of humanity. Baby, child, adolescent, adult, acts like an adolescent, acts like a child, acts like a baby.

It is great to know at their age they are still just like adolescents, hope for us all

I thought there were only four stages in life (western culture): believes in Santa Claus, doesn't believe in Santa Claus, is Santa Claus, looks like Santa Claus.
