If you've ever seen the 2003 film "Something's Gotta Give" featuring aging stars Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton, then you know firsthand the horrors and possible pitfalls of over-the-hill intimacy. In one of the movie's opening scenes, Nicholson's character has a heart attack as he is putting the moves on a disturbingly younger woman.
You should stay away from this film simply for comfort's sake if you have a weak stomach, but if you want to avoid the nightmare-inducing experience of viewing a wrinkled sexcapade in person, then you'll want to stay far away from Mexico City.
On Dec. 1, the capital city will be providing free Viagra, Levitra and Cialis to male residents 70 and older.
The reasoning behind this? According to Mexico City Mayor Marcelo Ebrard, sexuality is essential to happiness and quality of life.
Call us immature and insensitive, but we don't really see the necessity of this.
Unless cinema is lying to us, which we could never believe, increasing the probability of elderly copulation simultaneously puts these reinvigorated older men at risk for heart attacks.
We would be lying if we said we weren't frightened by the thought of an elderly, Viagra free-for-all, but we're honestly concerned about more than the possibility of hideous visions being seared into the minds of unsuspecting, roaming grandchildren.
We can only hope the old men of Mexico City will take a second to consider their tickers before they slip up like Jack.
