One of the first things that Bernie Zilbergeld ran into when he set out to study senior sex and relationships was that he didn't know what to call the age group he was researching. Seniors, elderly, golden-agers all fell flat with both Dr. Zilbergeld and the people he talked with.
He finally settled on calling us "matures". Hasn't caught on yet. Probably never will.
The question is whether we actually need a particularly peppy name or not. Given that children and grandchildren have a tendency to become apoplectic at the very thought of old people in general, and their old people particularly, engaging in sex beyond the bare necessities to have brought them to this earth, it's probably just as well to stay out of the public eye.
As long as we don't get freaked out over their freak out, things should be just fine.
