Oldies just wanna have fun

It’s one of those delicious coincidences. Both stories appeared in most of yesterday’s papers, but nobody made the obvious connection. At last: a genuine news story almost supports the findings of a survey.
Story 1: Over 70’s are having more sex.
Story 2: Max Mosley’s S&M orgy amuses the High Court.
OK, minor flaws in the argument are that Mosley is a sprightly 68, and the sex survey says the women are enjoying it more than the men.
But it is interesting how our newspapers treat our seniors as media freaks if they don’t conform to the carpet slippers stereotype. At the very least, one should respect them for their spending power.
