Sex: the new senior moment

Researchers have discovered what the rest of us knew all along: people like sex no matter how old they are. Yup. Sorta gives a new definition to "going like sixty." My son Steven calls it geezer-gasms.

It gets better.

Rather than get married, many senior couples are shacking up.

Full disclosure: the Mystery Woman and I are on the cutting edge of this paradigm shift. We're not married.

And we're not alone. The perverts in the Census Bureau say the number of seniors living without benefit of clergy had doubled in the last decade. And that's before the Baby Boomers give themselves permission.

Geezers cite several reasons for living together. At the top of the list: possible loss of pension and medical coverage. In our case, Medicaid was the motivating engine. Each of us has enough health issues and just enough real estate that we simply had to consider consequences of long-term illness causing bankruptcy. Cheesy, perhaps, but practical.

We think it adds a little sizzle.
