If you think midlife is good, oh my gawd, wait until you retire … now admittedly, having good genes and being in above average health is a major contributor to this … but sex in my seventies (I am 71) is the best sex that I have had to date. I have a boyfriend … truly the love of my life … four regular friends with benefits and three or four other occasional fuck buddies … midlife was a time of experimentation for me, which led to tossing out the last of my hangups (sorry, mom, it happens). The fact that I am retired and have no job to lose if my reputation becomes a tad .., shall we say exotic? … also helps. Not trying to piggyback my story on yours—just wanna say ʻhang in there—there is a real possibility that the third chapter will be the best yet!ʻ
