NORTHERN PLANNER

While tidying my desk, I found this old cutting from a newspaper about age and sex. A global study (doesn’t say by who or what for) using 30,000 people (doesn’t say how they were recruited) has found that over 40’s have the best sex. Since I’m 33 and feeling it, I’ll welcome this new knowledge with open arms, despite it’s dubious source. Two interesting asides:

1. Men tend to be more satisfied than their female partners.

2. Australians claim to have the highest satisfaction rate.

I’m liking the thought of challenging the institutionally chauvinistic notion that only the young have the right to get their nooky, and older people doing it is a bit icky. Feels like part of the wider occurance of people staying younger in their heads for longer.

On the other hand, isn’t one persons definition of ‘good sex’ someone else’s idea of a ghastly mistake?
