the song:
Is
sex only for people who are young, good
looking and healthy? That's what pop
culture constantly says, but it ain't
necessarily so. In this funny-serious song
about a couple in their 60's or beyond, a
sexually-experienced woman explains to a
man with whom she has recently become a
close friend that older people need not be
deprived of a sensual/sexual life solely
because of age. Indeed, in many ways, sex
when you're older and wiser can be more
interesting than ever, especially if it is
looked at as a process, not a goal. These
sentiments are accompanied musically by a
changing series of Latin
rhythms. Gender
point of
view:
Presumably a male-female couple, but
not necessarily.
