Not more perverted at all. Just more openly willing to explore what I have always thought about and never reacted upon at the time.
Get so old, you just say to hell with it and take a chance! My opinion anyway.
I know on my end, that I have regrets for that "one who got away". As in a good looking fellow that I worked with, pulled out his cock and showed it to me. Looking back, it was a hint and I would have reached out to grab it now with no hesitation.
For me it was more the male fun, that I wished to experience earlier in life and didn't know how to accept those subtle hints. Had a couple male times in early years and found them enjoyable. Did not know what I was really into at the time.
I look back now with a few regrets to be honest.
As for the females-I always went after them with gusto! LOL
