That's not so dissimilar to what Ben Franklin had to say:

Because in every Animal that walks upright, the Deficiency of the Fluids that fill the Muscles appears first in the highest Part. The Face first grows lank and Wrinkled; then the Neck; then the Breast and Arms; the lower parts continuing to the last as plump as ever; so that covering all above with a Basket, and regarding only what is below the Girdle, it is impossible of two Women to know an old one from a young one. And as in the Dark all Cats are grey, the Pleasure of Corporal Enjoyment with an old Woman is at least equal and frequently superior; every Knack being by Practice capable by improvement.

That's a great quote and I've never seen it before. Old Ben was pretty randy, that's for sure. He was an active participant in the scandalous rituals of the Monks of Medmenhan, successor to the Hellfire Club, while serving as an American emissary to London. Old Ben got around.
