From a sexual point of view, entering puberty and senior status have some things in common: erotic dreams.
When we are young, and our sexuality (hormones) is influencing our body and mind, we can do very little but ride out the storm. Erotic dreams point to the future when we will be able to enjoy our sexuality (even though we may not truly know what that means). Adjusting to the limitations as we age is not as challenging if we are open-minded and have a partner who understands what it means too.
Since life has taken me this far, I have learned several things about aging sexuality: 1) You need to adjust to bodily changes and not fear them; 2) Desire doesn't go away; 3) Adjusting socially to be able to engage in sexuality necessitates new attitudes and expectations.
Without a partner and no option to engage in sex, our minds pick up where we were in those days of puberty: we have erotic dreams.
