Boomers are More Into Sex than Babies

It’s not Generation X that’s getting into getting down

If you thought all the torrid sex these days was being wasted—like youth, as the saying goes—on those too young to appreciate it, you may need to change your opinion. According to a poll of singles conducted by a site called Lavalife.com, solo baby boomers are engaging in “better sex,” are “open to threesomes” (perhaps part of the “better sex” equation?), and are dead set on keeping their single status intact.

“Most of these people are looking to enhance their lives, so they're not really sitting there and saying I'm desperate, I need to live with someone,” stated Lavalife rep Marina Glogovac. “Their attitude is, we want to meet interesting people.” And exchange intimate bodily fluids, and—by the way—the more the merrier, so of course the pool boy can come along.

And that horned-up boomer contingent is significant; there are in the neighborhood of 85 million of’em in North America, almost 28% of the adult population. A whopping 34% revealed they’d hit the sack on the first date (cougar territory?) compared with a mere 17% of uptight Gen X’ers, those born between ‘65 and ’82. Presumably the audience for Swingtown, as the older folk are too busy actually swinging to watch a TV show about it.
