That project sounds really cool. I remember my sister at age thirteen or so expressing shock and disbelief that our parents (then 32 and 40) still had sex. My mother rolled her eyes and pointed out that our grandparents (both 67) probably still had sex. She then hailed my mémère who was cooking breakfast.
"Eh, Ma? You and Dad still have sex, right?"
And my little, hunched mémère, without even batting an eye or halting in her scrambling of the eggs, made a little 'comme-ci comme-ca' gesture and said, "Enh, des fois."
My sister was properly horrified, but it remains one of my fondest memories of my mémère. A model, devout Catholic, she had no qualms not only telling her children and grandchildren that she still had sex, but insinuating that it wasn't as much sex as she would have liked. :-D
Ha! That's an awesome story! The lady we interviewed yesterday (73!) was really open about it. I don't think she told us everything, but it's understandable! :p She was really nice.
