About this Quote

This quote by Gore Vidal is a funny observation regarding the lives of middle-aged people. It recommends that as people age, they become much less thinking about physical intimacy as well as more concentrated on various other activities, such as litigation. Vidal indicates that middle-aged people are most likely to participate in legal conflicts than in sexual partnerships. This can be due to a variety of variables, such as a lack of time or energy, or a shift in priorities. It might additionally be a reflection of the reality that lots of people in midlife are a lot more focused on their careers and also households than on their own individual requirements. Eventually, Vidal's quote is a humorous method of pointing out the changes that can happen in people's lives as they age.
