“I think she is going to find you too old... Yes that was it, the moment she said it I knew it was true, and the revelation caused me no surprise, it was like the echo of a dull, not unexpected shock.

In the modern world you could be a swinger, bi, trans, zoo into S&M, but it was forbidden to be old.”
