Getting Older but Looking Younger!

Getting older but looking younger! 

I must be one of those really lucky guys.  Most people cannot guess my age.  Even though my hair is streaked with grey, a la George Clooney,  or better still, that American Gigolo actor,  Richard Gere,  they still put me about 16 years younger than I am.  Now, it is also possible that these people are just trying to be nice, and of course, I am gullible, but it happens enough to make me think that something good might be working for me. 

The question is:  What am I doing right? 

I will answer by way of two stories. 

The first story is about something that happens everyday in my house.  Whenever I come home, no matter when, my dog comes charging down the stairs to see me.   He always comes down the stairs, wagging his tail, and with a big smile on his face. This little dog, (one of two that I have), is a chihuahua, and is 9 years old in people years, about 60 in dog years, but everyone thinks he is a puppy.  Of course, when he smiles, I smile.  And that smile is the thing that keeps me young looking, or at least it is one of them. 

The second story is a little more complicated.  I like to garden.  In the garden are different kinds of plants. Some of them flower for a short period of time and others flower the whole summer long.  Those that flower all summer need some special treatment.  If the flower gets inseminated by the pollen coming off a bee or from the wind, the flower immediately goes into seed making mode.  The plant’s main goal then is to nuture the baby, and so now that it is pregnant, it no longer needs the beautiful flower that made it so interesting in the first place.  Now if all the other flowers get inseminated, then the entire plant goes into seed making mode, and looks like hell!  There is an expression for that. It is called “going to seed”.  Now that is something you do not want to do. To make the flower look better longer, we deadhead, or pinch the faded blooms.  That sends a message to the flower's brain that says: " I need to make myself more attractive to attract attention from the bees" (ie, lovers).  

As we age, we get full of aches and pains, our metablolism slows down, we gain weight and before you know it, we are having less sex, and we start to look like we are going to seed.  How do you prevent this. 

The first thing to do is to keep smiling.  A smile is the sexiest thing you can do.  People like it because it means you are friendly, and they will look more favourably upon you. 

Secondly, you want to make sure you are still in the game.  That means, you should be in some way engaging in sex of some sort. 

There were five boys in my family, and I was the oldest. Four of us married.  One did not.  He in fact was two years younger than me and looked after my dad. People looked at him and actually thought he was older than me.  One day however, he surprised us and announced he was getting married to a girl about half his age. It didn’t take long, but soon he started looking younger again.  Why did he start looking younger?  He was back in the game.  He started having more sex than he had been getting when he was single.  To my eyes, this is proof that having sex makes you younger looking.  And you know something else?  He was smiling a lot too!  There you go! 

Any form of sex will do: fantasizing, masturbating, kissing, being in love, ogling, and most importantly, engaging in intercourse.  Of course, it helps to have a partner that you are still interested in.  I notice that those people who are in their second and third marriages might be happier than those that are still in their first marriages.  That is probably because they have not grown used to their partner.  But what if you have been married for a long time, say thirty years like me, and are really not excited enough by your partner to have sex?  There is a solution and it is all spelled out in my book, The Pecker Helper Handbook, which you can get as an e-book from Kobo, Nook or Barnes and Noble, or even right here:  The Pecker Helper Handbook

The most important thing to remember is that to keep looking younger, you have to be in the game.  Now you know what you have to do.  Go do it and be young.
