...sexual drive stays with us our whole lives, the experts all stress, and with proper knowledge, we can have long, happy sex lives. Dr. Alan Altman, the co-author of Making Love the Way We Used To...Or Better: Secrets to Satisfying Midlife Sexuality (Contemporary) writes, "While I can't say that you'll ever feel the ultimate heart-stopping passion you felt the first month you fell in love with your partner, I do know this: there are many of us who settle for predictability when we could have more excitement; friendship when we could have intimacy; medical problems...
...spontaneous erections in the same rapid and easy way you did when you were in your adolescence or early 20s...Just thinking about sex or seeing a sexual partner won't be enough. You will require more and more direct physical stimulation." But that's not bad, says Dr. Altman, and it doesn't mean that sex stops.

Lardner died on Oct. 31 at age 85. He is worth remembering...
...patient admiringly of Dr. Sullivan Travis (Richard Gere), gynecologist to the pampered ladies of Dallas. He has a lot to handle in this derisive comedy. His wife (Farrah Fawcett) goes nuts and naked in a mall fountain; his clients, to a woman, are idle and self-absorbed. To Altman and screenwriter Anne Rapp, women's problems are the result of their having way too much time on their manicured hands. The film's blithe misogyny soon becomes wearying; it refuses to see women as more than the sum of their private parts...
