Dear Ann Landers,
At what age is it OK for a wife to say to her husband, "We are too old for sex. Please leave me alone." Last night I heard that line for the hundredth time. Rather than have a fight all the neighbors could hear, I de-cided to keep my mouth shut and write to Ann Landers for an answer. Before you reply, I want to make it clear that I am not talking about hus-bands who are 50 pounds overweight, or the slobs who never take a bath, or the ones who get drunk every night I'm talking about husbands who are clean, sober and turn over their pay-checks regularly. So many decent men get shut off sexually by their wives in the prime of life and don't know what to do about it. Small wonder there were more di-vorces last year than marriages. I'm signing myself-Just Another Animal (My Wife's Name For Me)

DEAR JUST,
The erogenous zone is between the eyebrows and the hair-line. (In case of baldness, let's just say, "the mind.") This is where all sex be-gins or ends-whichever the case may be. There is no physical reason for ter-minating sex solely because of age. Couples can and do make love in their 70s and 80s-and this is as it should be. Naturally, couples in their 80s are not apt to have sex as frequently (nor as intensely) as couples in their thir-ties, but the physical expression of love can still be immensely satisfying in the twilight years.

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, whatever they needed I provided. What really hurt my son and I the most was the obituary - we were not mentioned at all. Our friends (mine and hers) were appalled. I was embarrassed and upset for not just me, but for my son-who loved her also. I never been so upset. Her x-husband put his wife and kids and their grandchildren in the obituary, who my girlfriend barely knew. They live an hour away from us. I know its silly to be mad over a little section of the newspaper, but it still hurts. Will time let this devastating loss of her and this article ever go away? I am so angry at this whole situation, its not like we can go and rewrite an obituary notice.

Tell us what you think?
