There’s a nursing home in New York where the residents have a “knock first” policy. It’s done wonders for their sex lives. There’s nothing more embarrassing than being barged in on when in flagrante delicto.
Now, if you find that hard to believe, maybe you need to consider this: Old people like sex, too. You can keep your shuffleboard and bridge tournaments, senior hikes and church mixers. Time may well lay waste to hair lines and dress sizes, but the libido lives on. MTV might not show it. Madison Avenue might not admit it. You might not want to think about it. But lust and the gymnastics that go along with it know no demographics. Sex and the sexagenarian. Why in anything goes America, the elderly are still kindly invited to keep their clothes on.
