‘There isn’t a lot of representation for older people’Īnd in a follow-up, Birkholz vlogged about the insights he gained chatting to Scott-Presland. ‘You tend to take things slower, you’re not quite as acrobatic as you used to be, you know! ‘Sex tends to focus more on physicality the tactile thing,’ Scott-Presland said, ‘and it has a lot more to do with the emotions that are involved in it as well. In a new video produced by Gay Star News in partnership with Age UK, Bradley Birkholz, a YouTuber, and Scott-Presland discuss their experiences of family and loneliness.Ī much-needed conversation, the pair hash out what being an LGBTI senior is like what people expect from you, what people think of you.ĭespite the age gap between them both, the two spoke openly about sex. It takes place on Gay Star News from 29 A to. This year, we are focusing on tackling loneliness and isolation. Instead, we should be open about sex no matter the age and not let age divide us, explains gay activist Peter Scott-Presland.ĭigital Pride is the only global Pride and is dedicated to enabling everyone to be part of a Pride, whoever they are and wherever they live in the world. Older people are often stereotyped as asexual and devoid of feelings or emotion as societal pressures take their toll. Hundreds of movies about twenty-somethings falling in love, while so called ‘grey love’ remains invisible and silent. In order to avoid depopulation, Etoro often steal children from neighboring tribes, raising them as if they were their own.Glance at the showings in any cinema, and it seems the only people allowed to have fulfilling or authentic sex lives are the young, tanned, and chiselled. No wonder the birth rate amongst Etoro is very low. On the contrary, homosexual relations are allowed at any time, as they also bestow fertility on crops, besides turning the boys strong. Heterosexuality is allowed only for a strict period of 100 days per year, and only outside the communal household and thus forbidden near their houses and vegetable gardens.
Homosexual oral sex is common among males in their youth, with various sexual roles played by adolescents. The weakness of the old age is linked to the depletion of this power.
The Etoro homosexual society is one of male exclusivity, attributing to women a low status. Men and women live separated, thus social contact between them is scarce and in most cases hostile. Women are regarded as wasting the vital force if heterosexual sex does not end up in a pregnancy, and the role of the women as mothers and wives is neglected. Most Etoro men marry, but even so, they delay marriage as much as possible, and in fact, as they have to marry a relative of their male partner, they actually reinforce bonds with him. The former older male partner in many cases has to marry the sister of his former younger partner. Few years later, the teenager is formally involved in relationships with many male sex partners, after which he turns into an "inseminator" from an "inseminee." The boy gets "power" orally by a young man assigned to be his partner. That's why young boys, even at the age of 12, get it from the sperm of the older males. This power is transmitted between the members of the tribe by means of sex.
The Etoro believe that people have an individual amount of vital force, but the highest concentrations are encountered in semen. The Etoro sustain that young boys must swallow the semen of their elders to become a powerful adult! (well, we know sperm is rich in protein, minerals, and vitamins, what sportsmen need, but this is too exaggerated.). These people are famous due to their ritual homosexuality between young boys and men of the tribe. This is the case of Etoro, a tribe of 400 people living by hunting and small-scale gardening in eastern New Guinea, on the southern slopes of Mt. An example might be those tribes practicing ritual homosexuality in the remote mountains of Trans-Fly river region of southern New Guinea. And if researches made on humans, but also on animals, show that hundreds of species of mammals, birds, fish, insects, lizards, snakes, turtles, salamanders and toads have homosexual behavior, maybe a look at primitive human societies might tell us more. Researches show that strict "homosexuality" and "heterosexuality" are very rare, making less than 9 % of the human population (thus, over 90 % of the people are bisexual!), yet many societies, including the western ones are traditionally harshly punishing homosexuality.
