Spring is coming, and a young man's thoughts turn to ... you know. Apparently, old men's thoughts turn to the same subject. According to an article to be published Wednesday in the British Medical Journal, 67% of men ages 65 to 74 said they had been sexually active in the past year, compared with just 40% of women in that age group. Everyone knows young men think constantly about sex, but many guys remain interested in sex until they are almost dead: more than one-third of men ages 75 to 85 said they had sex in the past...
...disparity in sexual activity between older men and older women isn't entirely explained by the 1998 release of the little blue pill.

These figures suggest that a lot of older women may be having sex when they don't really want...

His brother Omar said he too had been sexually abused by Maciel, starting at age 8. (The sons never took Maciel's surname.)
