Women debate Gaily Sheehy’s book on ‘seasoned’ sex
There’s a new book out that deals with aging women having sex, but for some reason critics aren’t pleased with it for all the wrong reasons:
In an age when Viagra has revolutionized the sex lives of older men, who would have thought anyone would take issue with Gail Sheehy’s contention, in her new book, “Sex and the Seasoned Woman
,” that aging women want lively sex lives too? After all, didn’t women of a certain age grow up in the same swinging ’60s and ’70s? Don’t baby boomers believe they invented modern sex?
And who are all the millions of Viagra-fueled seventy something men supposed to have sex with — women in their 20s? Yes, say Sheehy’s critics, who happen to be maturing women themselves.
