Masturbation at 64 by different methods

I am 64 and widowed and I masturbate at least one a day with my hands to satisfy my desires. I would like to use a sex toy. At my age, is this acceptable? Could there be some biological reason why a sex toy should only be used between certain ages?
When I was younger, I used sex toys, but not in quite a while. I am somewhat fearful that as I am older, I might accidentally do damage that would not have occured when I was younger.

My hubby stop having sex with me, due to his COPD. So I care of me only.Apparently masturbating yourself is a great exercise to lose belly fat.

Who knew?   How often do you have to do that to lose belly fat?  
Wouldn't that be great? But if it were totally true, most guys I know would have washboard abs.

Go for it. You can get vibrators and all sex toys mailed to you. I am older than you and always use them. Dont forget the lube if dryness is a problem....

I am 66 and masturbate frequently! I have found that besides the obvious please factor - it is a wonderful pain reliever! I have horrible back and neck pain - ths "method" works wonders! Better than pain medication!

There is a really popular one called a "Pocket Rocket."  A friend went into a women's bookstore to buy one for his girlfriend (they are in their 50s) and was amazed and a little abashed to find them out in a basket on the front counter. :)  I guess they are just so well liked that there is no point in tucking them on a shelf.  Have fun!!!!

Sorry Blondie- I wasn't speaking about children, ref -sex at any age. If you are adult and responsible. I should have probably used the word masturbation.

You ladies are wonderful! You have eased my fears. I am going out to tomorrow to buy a sex toy and will enjoy every moment of using it! Hell if I live to 100, I will still use it.

I thank you all.

Actually, masturbation is totally normal and very healthy at any time, early childhood through old age.

I think it's awesome that you're regularly sexually active and interested in toys. As a matter of fact, if you're not having vaginal intercourse, insertable toys can help prevent your vagina from atrophying. Extra healthy and fun ;-)

I DISAGREE with the ANY AGE part.   Make sure you are old enough 20 and up is plenty old enough to me. To the original poster - Hey if you want a sex toy - GO FOR IT!!!!
