1) I'm 67...turn 68 in October!
2) We may have been "sex-crazed" in the sixties (teenagers ALWAYS have 
been...?!)...but it simply
wasn't allowed back then to be obvious...?! When I was a teenager 
(mid-fifties), we all HOPED
for s*x, but it rarely occured; besides which, there was NO easily available 
method of birth
control (several of my female classmates had to abruptly leave high 
school...?!)!
