I DON’T KNOW how many men over the age of seventy read this magazine, but what I do know is that the twentysomethings who read it will have given very little thought to what happens when they get old. In ‘gay world’, old age is a faraway place which merits very little thought.
Most twinks appear unable to see beyond thirty, and view the prospect of anyone over that age having sex as vaguely disgusting. Somehow young gay men have the rather endearing belief that that their youth will be eternal. Sadly, life ain’t like that. Middle age and then old age come around all too quickly.
