Yes girlfriend. It was progressive

a/k/a unheard of. We women have basic instincts that definitely grow stronger as we grow (stronger).

Smart in the boardroom, hot in the bedroom. I heard that many times during my days in advertising, That was then, this is now. At almost 70 I’m “hot” to my man and smart to others. Doesn’t hurt that I’m tall and attractive “for my age”.

I have 3 daughters. When they got their period I bought them a vibrator and told them how much better it would feel than some random guy wanting their clothes off. I also gave them pepper spray!

I had been raped at 16 and never told anyone. That was NOT going to happen to them.

After my husband died over 6 years ago I tried to date. Oh boy. By then I spoke my mind freely. If a potential date’s profile said he was a “good kisser” for example, I’d say “show me”. Dates became interviews and anyone that called me “honey” was out.

I don’t think I’ve ever been “like” anyone else but I definitely was not “myself” in the early years. We’re any of us back then. Trying to please parents, teachers, etc. was not my vibe. I got in trouble a lot. But guys never seemed to like me, only fuck me.

Today my relationship with my partner (no more “marrying” for me) and my life is so good. The roommate had left the building.

I think they call it “authentic”, I call it “content”.

Love this, Deb. As I age, I'm becoming more authentic, I feel. So cool you bought them a vibrator!
