Buddha Mil Gaya… Why Does the Thought of Old People With Sex Lives Make Us Cringe?

In our movies like in real life, we expect lovers to be young and restless. Indian psyche tutors us that men and women beyond 50 do not need a sexual dialogue or depiction. Aged people and their desires, as a Made in Heaven episode showed us, make us cringe.
