the vast majority of postmenopausal women lose all interest in sex. At that point men become good only for car repair and home maintenance. This is a matter of complete irrelevance to most people, because most older women are not loaded and therefore are invisible to men. Since I got to be an older woman and found out "what every little old lady should know" just by becoming one, not by being told I just thought you should know that the premise of this movie, "The Producers", that case of mistaken identity in the broom closet in "American Wedding" that cheers grandma up so much, etc. are pure fiction. It is probably why so many people get divorced in their 40s - 50s. I'm sure there are exceptions to every rule, but that is the rule.

Evidently, M. Gustave had a knack for finding postmenopausal women who hadn't lost interest.

I think it's because film is still heavily influenced by men, and most men could be in a wheelchair with 47 tubes coming out of them and they would still be interested in sex until their dying day. I really think every dad has a duty to sit down with his son before he gets married and tell him about "the elderly birds and bees". Otherwise he might be in for a BIG surprise when his wife hits 50 or so.

My experience has been women are still "longing" even in their 50's.

wtf you can't make sweeping generalizations like this. Just because you're a sad sack in the, well, sack, doesn't mean every single other woman your age is as well. Get over yourself and lighten up. Maybe try to have some fun. Preferably in said sack.

Brilliant response to an inane opening gambit.

Your post might have more weight behind it if it weren't for the fact that STDS are on the rise in the elderly. Meaning old people are having more sex, no doubt because of the various ED drugs.

Can't stop the signal.

Yeah. *beep* viagra. Why cant they give men a pill that makes em clean. Men dont need anything to make em randy. The wind blowing does that.

The women actually didn't come to him for the sex. Sex was probably just a tiny part of it. It was the way he made them feel (still) special and beautiful, and happy. He knew what the girls wanted and it wasn't sex.
