Unbelievable as it might seem, Jane Juska published a personal ad in the NY Times Magazine asking for a sexual partner for some romantic adventures. She got plenty of what she asked for and had a lot of good times plus a little heartache.
The amazing part of all of this is that she was a woman past her mid sixties at the time. The INCREDIBLE thing is that she wasn't murdered,raped, or even taken advantage of through all of this. Her memoir is both funny and sad in places, but always interesting. I can't say that I would ever, EVER, have the guts to do what she did, but I found myself hoping she'd have a wonderful time with all of these men, and satisfy that longing she obviously had. I think she did.
