Sex and the Single Senior (horrified gag alert)

Words fail me. I will copy what Rod Dreher had to say about the New York Times, and their outlook on life.

THAT'S WHY GRANDMA IS A TRAMP [Rod Dreher]

Here is a jaw-dropping story that perfectly captures the New York Times view of the world. It's an appreciation of an educated and accomplished 70-year-old woman who, three years ago, decided she was missing out on life, and decided to sleep with as many men as she could in the time she had left. After living unhappily for years, Jane Juska, the Septuagenarian Sexpot, decided to remake herself. "It took years of psychoanalysis, dieting and exercise to take control of herself again, shaking off the lingering effects of a Puritanical small-town Ohio childhood in the process."

Having come back to the Times version of reality, Jane became -- what's the word? -- a slut. She's decided that so many women focus on their grandchildren to take their minds off the fact that they haven't done anything (in her view) with their lives. And a tramp's life has been a pleasant surprise to Jane: "I had no hope of it turning out to be anything like this," she said. "I expected to be murdered, or made sad at the very least."

Murdered? How nice for Jane that she's decided to live like a whore, but hasn't (yet) died like one. Go get 'em, girlfriend! The Times loves ya!

Ah the mysteries of romance! Who are we to say that love is only for the twenty somethings?

[Utah Girl]

I don't begrudge seniors romance. But this lady is promiscuous. Sorry, I don't see why the NY Times is celebrating her choice to be a slut.

[detsaoT]

Can't agree with you more. This is the end-result of the self-centeredness that is so pervasive in the Leftist mind. To hell with the New York Slimes! To hell with Berkeley!

"Puritanical small-town Ohio background" - that one phrase summed up the entire jaundiced view of this disgusting author for me. I am willing to bet that the jackass who wrote this article has NEVER been there, and has NO idea what life outside of the Neverending Sprawl that is New York City is like.

I will second your "horrified gag alert," and raise it a Pepto-Bismol or two. Sell New York back to Amsterdam. Those two have much more in common than New York has with the rest of America.

"That's why they're so nuts about their grandchildren. It keeps the focus off them."

Kinda says it all....it's all about ME...ME...ME...ME...how sad.

[Sloth]

Though she clutched her lower back periodically — arthritis?

Or the clap, perhaps.

[U S Army EOD]

Will this work for men?????????

[Jeff Chandler]

This is nothing but recycled "If it feels good, do it!" from the '60s.

I wonder if Bill Clinton has read this yet? She sounds like his type-easy.

[sinkspur]

Yuck. As Jeff Foxworthy says, old men in nursing homes want beer and to see somebody naked.

But not old women. Old women naked? "Oh no, not that!!!"

There's something seriously deranged about a 32 year old man who would get hot over a 70 year old woman.

[Jeff Chandler]

>>Ah the mysteries of romance! Who are we to say that love is only for the twenty somethings?<<

What this ancient bimbo is doing isn't romantic, and it sure as heck ain't love.

[goodnesswins]

I didn't see anywhere in here where she says she's getting paid to do this....but I guess her "book" is the "fee."

[Utah Girl]

Ewwwww, I didn't even think about that. I'm still shaking my head here.

Puritanical

Ahh, Puritanical. A Favorite word of Liberals, Libertarians, Democrats, MTV, HollyWeird, Greens, Hippies, Sodomites, and Fornicators, when discribing Normal people who object to their sexual perversions.

You know what else is amazing? Pedophiles, Rapists, Sadists, and other Sexual Perverts always like to use that same word, when they get arrested for the crimes, and start to blame the "Puritanical" Society.

Oh well, they are all one in the same anyway.

[Michael.SF.]

Oh. man, this gal is hot! She is juuusssttt my style!

[HassanBenSobar]

She now lives in Berkeley and has lived in the Bay Area since the mid-1950's.

No, really?

[friendly]

I was making a little humor there. Apparently very little.

There's something seriously deranged about a 32 year old man who would get hot over a 70 year old woman.

"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 of improvement." - Benjamin Franklin, "Advice to a Young Man," 1745.

Puritans also use the word "puritanical."

"I wonder if Bill Clinton has read this yet?"
Read it? He was one of her suitors.
