“We have our first anti-aging pill,” my friend informed me in a meeting the other day. As one website said of sex, it’s “the only aspect of life which makes life worthwhile.” My friend may be right about this pill.
Viagra is a sexy. Hip & knee replacements and cataract surgeries, while they can prolong life, improve life and could also be called “anti-aging,” aren’t sexy. They also don’t address that basic human need of sexual touch. Think about what this little blue pill has returned to men who once thought they would lose the ability to engage in sexual activities as they age. That’s a wow. Don’t get me wrong, working knees and hips and eyes are a marvelous thing. But if scientists can create sexuality in a little pill, what will they invent next?
I’ve never been on the anti-aging side. Aging is natural and it comes to all of us. But improving quality of life as we age, I can get on board with that. I’m pretty sure that a good many of us Boomers are expecting that, if scientists can package our sexuality in a pill, they can surely pack other basics into a variety of colored pills.
I’m keeping a lookout for my pink pill.
