Washington Post Survey: 10% Of Flyers Have Sex


According to the results of a questionable questionnaire by the newspaper, that percentage of air travelers do the dirty deed in airports and/or in flight. If the report isn’t an intentional joke, we presume that includes flying seniors who succeed in getting lucky quickies.

Of course, Post readers may have misunderstood the questions, and consider getting financially screwed by ever-rising airline fares to be a sexual experience. Additionally, some may also believe being crotch-frisked by horny security guards is considered an erotic encounter.

Most likely all qualifiers for the mile-high club who’ve actually done the dirty deed in flight are crew members. They can seek out cozy private spaces aboard to congregate. However, passengers, especially brittle-boned seniors crammed into cramped economy seats and with no privacy, may have to be content with just an in-flight erotic dream.

Senior Sentients: Get Off That ¶¥ƒ∂ß Couch! PDF Print E-mail

Recent medical studies (as if you don’t already know) report that inactivity adds to the physical problems of aging. Nicknamed the sitting disease, today’s seniors bring it on by spending too much unhealthy time on the couch.

According to the research, American elders, especially retirees, sprawl more than three hours daily in front of the TV. We’re advised to get up and actively exercise for at least ten continuous minutes during each of those wasted hours. We’re sure the Kardashians and Honey Booboo won’t know when we miss their commercials.

Travel4seniors.com offers more ambitious solutions. Not only should you get up from the couch, but also pack a bag and flee the house. Jump into your car, cruise ship cabin or airline seat and vigorously apply many ways to exercise mind and body.

Get involved in frequent activities that range from brisk jogs around the park, steep climbs up mountain paths and runs along beaches. Join walking tours right there in your home town as well as in cities on the other side of the world.
