Dear Ann Landers,
am in agreement with your "Atlanta Reader" who is in his 60s. He criticized you for printing too many letters about sex and referred to himself as "one who had been neutered by time." He asked that you print fewer letters in your column dealing with problems of frigidity, im-potence, incest, homosexuals, truck drivers who wear pantyhose, and Funny Uncles. You told him time doesn't neces-sarily have to "neuter" anybody-that it was mostly in his head, etc. Al-though you are probably correct I would like to tell you that I'm a woman, and I agree with him. I'm glad to be free of "that old feeling." I'd have a real problem if the fires were still burning. I'm a widow (also in my 60s) and although I'm still hale and hearty I no longer need sex. There are so many of us, Ann (some married to men who can't per-form). We consider ourselves fortu-nate that Mother Nature has dealt with us in this manner. It's like losing your appetite for caviar when you can no longer afford it. So, as the kids say, "Cool it, honey." BASTA AMOUR

DEAR BASTA,
If you consider it a blessing that you no longer need sex because it is not available to you through respectable and moral chan-nels, I have no argument with that. But to request that I no longer print letters dealing with sex because it has no interest to YOU is grossly unfair. This column deals with human prob-lems and is read by a wide variety of people, many of whom are still inter-ested in sex. AT WHAT AGE SHOULD A WIFE TURN OFF SEX?
