Keiko Ibi’s “Personal” Journey
\”The Personals: Improvisations on Romance in the Golden Years,\” an 82-year-old man rinses out his dentures in his solitary apartment and longs for love and sex. Another elderly man laments that he has been impotent since receiving radiation therapy for prostate cancer.
Selma, 73, discusses her sexless marriage, her affairs, the elderly man who tried to rape her and the hopelessness of living alone. \”Touching, it\’s what I miss,\” she confides. \”What I\’d really like is not the sex act itself. I just want to be held.\”
