Attention all grandkids. You might get a little squeamish at this statement, but it is true. Grandma and grandpa are still doing it. A recent survey study done by the New England Journal of Medicine concluded that those between the ages of 75 – 85 have sex at least once every couple of weeks. And here’s another nugget for your therapist. The study also states that in the past year these sr. horny toads have either given or received oral pleasure. So what’s the problem? Seems a lot of Nursing Homes are not very accommodating when it comes to this popular past time. In most care facilities there are no areas that folks can go for complete privacy. The nursing home owners claim that they need to do this for obvious medical emergency reasons. However, this is in complete violation of the Nursing Home Reform Act of 1987. The law states specifically that the institution is required to ``maintain a senior citizen’s highest practicable physical, mental and psychosocial well-being.''
In other words, let them have locks on their doors so they at least have something fun to do after Wheel of Fortune.

I heard about nana technology on the radio. I know you're thinking – nano dummy. But this is nana like nana and papa--technology for us senior citizens. Apparently senior citizens need special technology like an application to remind someone to take his pills. How insulting is that! Do you hear about teenage technology or Gen-X/Y technology? No. And how many senior citizens would like going to the store to ask for special technology for the old age set? Not many. I would not be surprised if there are plenty of senior citizens who can handle any technology. This is just plain old age discrimination spoon fed to us from the YOUNGER MAN!
