Normal. Human.

Of all the headlines that’ve left me thinking, Why are you mentioning age? perhaps this one tops the list: “The secret to great sex isn’t really a secret. It’s asking the right question, 81-year-old sex professor says.”

Clicking through, I found three short paragraphs on “the right question” (“How do you like to be touched?”), and 21 paragraphs about the grownup professor’s current quest for love.

Turns out he’s “lonely and hoping to find a partner,” and “his friends agree he’s ready.” Normal human stuff. But apparently the reporter found this a newsworthy revelation that an older person desires romance.
