Dorothy's Story - Sex After Sixty

"Birds do it. Bees do it. But do little old widows from Pasadena do it? When I was younger, no one talked about such things. The world is so different now. Older women and younger men. Women and women. Men and men. Take estrogen. Don't take estrogen. Viagra on TV ads.

Even though there's a lot of information in the news, sometimes it's hard to know who to believe. And I felt a bit uncomfortable talking with my old family doctor about such matters. Luckily, there was a nurse practitioner in my doctor's office who I felt more comfortable with. I got some answers, and I also learned some surprising things that I would have been too embarrassed to ask about. For instance, age doesn't protect us from the risk of getting diseases like AIDS."
