Love After 80: New York Times Writer Tells You How

Posted by Michael Musto at 12:00 PM, June 13, 2008

I recently penned "the Daddy Diaries" about the joys and horrors of sex in one's golden years. But here come The Great Granddaddy Diaries! Bob Morris, a witty friend of mine, not to mention a New York Times "Style" section regular, has written a book called Assisted Loving: True Tales of Double Dating With My Dad, chronicling the way his 80-year-old father leaned on Bob to help find himself a new hottie. ("Am I pimping for my father?" sonny boy began to wonder in between hookups.) But pops certainly paid back. As the book notes, he encouraged Bob to find a love of his own, and he did—with ANOTHER witty friend of mine, Ira Silverberg. (My black book is absolutely filled with available, successful gay men, all of whom seem to find each other. I'm so thrilled.) Anyway, if this story isn't turned into a smash off-Broadway musical, then God is a Nazi.

Trying to find hookups for your elderly father...that sure would put a wrinkle in your love life.

I hate it that my friends find true love with each other and I sit here in the retirement home alone, sipping a freshly-shaken Pink Lady and smoking Pall Malls. I mean, I could have sex, I suppose, with one of the few semi-lucid geriatrics on my floor, but the sight of a flaccid, mottled old penis gives me a migraine.

Met Morris at The Spike ages ago and had a summer bromance with him, he has a hot dick but his face is lacking.
