I'm an oldie newbie exploring tfp. As a child of the '60's (graduated college in 71), I'm feeling a bit old here. Three kids, the youngest now off at college and the older ones off at life. I'm a professor of History. I study the past but want to be in the present.

Grew up in a different world, where we all explored life and each other and sex in more direct ways... concerts, summer of love, protest marches. I feel a need to reconnect with the currents of life and love. What I feel around me today is both very familiar and very different from my former life. Young women today strike me as both more inhibited and more at ease than we were even as we ran naked through the woods and saw sex as an easy game in the days before AIDS.
