Others, however, have taken a more jaundiced view of this new sexual revolution, of course -- as one letter, published by the syndicated Ann Landers advice column in US newspapers, made abundantly and poignantly clear: "I am 62 years old and the mother of six grown children and I was thrilled when my 64-year-old husband began to slow down about two years ago. So now what happens? A pill called Viagra is invented and the old goat is back in the saddle. I do love my husband but I believe I have earned a rest. Besides, these pills cost US$10 a piece. Last week he had four."
