He means “Lusting”.
I know a lady who, at 62, has an absolutely fantastic body.
‘Lusting’
Exactly. Substitute his term, ‘love’ with ‘have sex with’ and you will better understand his temporal view.
I think you are right, but regardless, if he has no interest in anything romantic with women his own age he may be destined to be a lonely old man. I say that as somebody in the same circumstance who has no interest in women in their mid-fifties or forties for that matter.
