Leonore Tiefer, a clinical psychologist and sex therapist in New York, recalled two patients, a couple in their 70s, both widowed. Their experiment with Viagra had been unsuccessful. “They were eager for companionship but somehow they both felt they ought to be having sex,” she said. “I said you are supposed to be free of this kind of imperative at this point in your life. Why do you think you ought to be doing this?”
The ensuing dialogue, she said, went along the lines of the following:
“I thought you wanted to.”
“I thought you would have wanted to.”
It turned out neither one of them cared.
