I have seen this video before and it is a great testiment to the sexuality of the post menopausal woman. We live in a society that is pathologically obsessed with youth and equates sexuality with youth. Prior to the relatively recent appearance of contraception in human history the only time a woman could completely separate sexuality from procreation was after menopause. In my book Everywoman a Goddess: Everyman a Hero in Her Service I look at the evolutionary benefit that comes from menopause. The fact that all human females experience menopause when no other animal does is critical to understanding its central role in defining humanity.
love and light,
