You’ll never forget the moment you first heard your parents, after a glass of wine too many, make some kind of sex joke in your presence. That is the quintessential TMI moment, information no child really wants to know.

But the fact of the matter remains we all hope to keep doing the no pants dance well into our senior years, we really shouldn’t turn our noses up at older people managing to keep that spark alive.

A Canadian photographer, Jean Malek, was commissioned to take photos for a calendar aimed at challenging taboos. His photo depicting an older couple engaged in a spot of coitus has since gone viral and Malek is delighted by the reaction. Huffington Post reports:

…the man and the woman in the photo had never met before the day of the shoot. Malek met them both first privately to explain what would take place. “I wanted to show that older people having sex is a sensual, beautiful thing,” he said. “Even though no actual sex would be occurring in the process of the photo shoot.”  The man is 92 and the woman 74….

To create the suggestion that even couples together a long time can feel passion, he shot a portrait of the fully dressed couple and framed it. It gets “knocked down” along with the rest of the objects in the passion of the (fake) moment.

To quote a line from a rather famous band headed our way next year – ‘coz the walls start shaking, the earth was quaking’.

But please parents, don’t put your kids through having to hear anything about what happens under your sheets.
