You've broken the "second-to-the-last taboo." (the last is still Death). I've always said that the later twentieth century reversed the Victorians on tabooed subjects--they talked openly about money and death, not so open about sex. We don't discuss death and money, but--thank the Internet--sex is an open topic.

Except for sex for the aging and/or disabled. Still an embarrassment for writer and reader--but (as you have shown) things are changing. Thanks to the aging cohort of baby boomers who still watch broadcast TV, we can see commercials for every sort of male potency aid and lots of hormones and other creams for women. Like the long-ago menstrual products ads which were so coy you couldn't figure out what they were advertising, these ads don't say frankly "Can't get it up any more? Too dry to want it?" but they're coming closer.
