Wow, I’ve been remiss in blogging lately. That will change; there has been lots going on that’s blog-worthy, so doubtless I’ll manage to find a few moments to write about it all soon enough. In the meantime, please be amused by this video. Well, not amused exactly - more like intrigued.

Basically, the filmmaker interviewed 11 "older" people - it’s not quite clear exactly what range qualifies as "older," but whatever - about their experience of sexuality and relationships. Even in this little 13-minute version, it’s pretty darn diverse and really quite engaging. She’s got people of various ethnic backgrounds (though it’s mostly white), men and women in more or less equal measure, a person with a disability, a person who had/has (it’s not clear) an open relationship with her husband, a bi man, and other interesting variations. It’s not a simple mainstream portrayal of standard heterosexuality, but neither is it sensational or preachy. Of course there’s a noticeable lack of lesbian sexuality and sadomasochism, but it’s still worth a look-see. The best part: nobody talks as though they were ashamed of being who they are. How lovely!
