I've not read this book, but the review was fascinating.

Sex fixer to the stars lifts lid on scandal in Hollywood's golden age
Scotty Bowers has kept quiet for 60 years but now, at 88, he's talking about bedding the biggest screen icons of the day

From here.

Too old to have sex now, all he has is his memories if there ever really was anything to remember. Too bad the majority of his victims are now dead. After so many years of having sex it just becomes monotonous and boring. Add alcohol and it becomes embarrassing.

When someone is 88 years old, it leaves me wondering -- why come out now?

Sorry, just being skeptical. Leave sex for the young people to explore, all the old farts need to just stay out of it.

I think like a lot of old people all he has left are his memories and he wants his side of the story recorded. Given that some of the rumours of the sexuality of a lot of Hollywood stars and the hypocrisy of the studios have been around for years it is not surprising that eventually some old 'fixer' would tell all. Also maybe he needs the money?

I think you are on to something. Yup, he needs money in hard times. Cocaine is very expensive these days.

If you can still do it, why wouldn't you still do it?

You're kidding, right? Because otherwise that would have been an incredibly stupid thing to say.

Don't you know that sex stops abruptly around the age of 40?

I will.
And if it doesn't stop on its own accord, the sex police will be around to make sure it does. Old people are not supposed to enjoy themselves. Simply doesn't look good.

Nope, sorry Mazille, guys start having problems around age 40. Don't take it so h...-- um, so seriously.

Regina, I was visiting my middle aged neighbors for a birthday party and they asked me to take their picture. Then I got bored and started looking through their saved pictures. OMG! It was down right ugly.

Any way, I won't be buying Scotty Bowers book, even if he offered to pay me.

Really?!

I wish someone had've told my father that

Yes, Peter North (54) and Ron Jeremy (58) would laugh at the notion that sex ceases at 40. If overall health at 40-plus is good, chances are that sexual health will be pretty good as well.

Uh-oh...and I always thought my dad was actually my dad...can't be though, because he was 40 when I arrived.

Yep, I hear you. Sex is only for the good-looking and young.

I know it must be sad news on your birthday, but you have about a year left. Enjoy it!

But...I'm not a bloke...

Really? No one's going to touch that?

Look at what Grace says. It goes for both genders. It simply doesn't look good. So you should stop, even if you have urges that are strictly for the young and beautiful.
