My step father is pushing 70, and has had thyroid problems, now that his thyroid has been diagnosed, and a medication has been prescribed, he is constantly talking about how he is going to explode, he just needs to see a woman, he is thinking about women. His wife has passed and he has female care givers.. How do I handle this? Is buying him a "magazine" a good idea, or would that only enhance the problem?
So what does that have to do with the question here (?), really simple, get the ole-man l**d. Just because there is snow on the mountain does not mean there no fire in the stove. Heck, Picasso was active well into his eighties; though surely you don't want anymore heirs. So don't let him be silly....have him wrap the willy.
All joking aside, the first thing is often sex. The biological impetus to procreate is actually stronger than the need to eat. Put in other words, the ability to pass on one's genes is a much stronger drive than survival.
In your profile, you have specified age-related decline. If your SD's health is on the slippery slope toward dementia or any either kind of impairment, you may be dealing with his inability to filter inappropriate behavior in addition to the increase in his libido due to the correction of his thyroid deficiency.
This may become a problem of whether systemic health should override psychological well being and the only way that can be determined is in consultation with his medical care team.
