Washington Post Survey: 10% Of Flyers Have Sex


According to the results of a questionable questionnaire by the newspaper, that percentage of air travelers do the dirty deed in airports and/or in flight. If the report isn’t an intentional joke, we presume that includes flying seniors who succeed in getting lucky quickies.

Of course, Post readers may have misunderstood the questions, and consider getting financially screwed by ever-rising airline fares to be a sexual experience. Additionally, some may also believe being crotch-frisked by horny security guards is considered an erotic encounter.

Most likely all qualifiers for the mile-high club who’ve actually done the dirty deed in flight are crew members. They can seek out cozy private spaces aboard to congregate. However, passengers, especially brittle-boned seniors crammed into cramped economy seats and with no privacy, may have to be content with just an in-flight erotic dream.

Single Senior Plea: Share A Cruise With Me, Anyone? PDF Print E-mail


Q: I’m a single guy, age 57, but look, act and feel much younger. I’m considering a two-week river cruise from Sweden through Scandinavia and Russia. It would cost about 40% less if I cruised with another person. I’d like to find a lady companion to share the expenses and cabin.

I’ve seen cruise sharing ads on websites, but it seems all the women are in their 60s and older. That’s OK, but not for me. I’d prefer one who’s at least 10 years younger than I am. What do you suggest? WRMcC, Evanston IL A: Hey, WRMcC, travel4seniors.com isn’t a lonely hearts club! Seriously, we suggest you first search for a cruise companion from family or friends, trusted people with familiar faces. Romance is fine, but river cruises offer much more to do together than mating rituals.

Meeting new people online is always iffy. Many post photos and info, but you never know what’s fake, or worse, a scam. You can try it, but first respond only to women who live in or near your town, and are considering a cruise.

Arrange to meet in person for a drink, and to size each other up. Then, if all goes well, and cruise schedules and finances are ironed out, it’s off to sea together. Good luck in your search for a cabin mate.
