For the 109th episode of Private Parts Unknown, host Courtney Kocak welcomes the co-editors of the new anthology\xa0Gray Love: Stories About Dating and New Relationships After 60, Nan Bauer-Maglin & Daniel E. Hood\u2014and spoiler alert: they don\u2019t just \u201cwork well together,\u201d they\u2019re an IRL couple!\nOften the dating stories we hear are from younger people, but the quest for love and sex doesn\u2019t have an expiration date\u2014and depending on how things shake out, you might find yourself back on the dating scene way later than you expected. Senior singles make up one of the fastest-growing demographics in online dating, and they\u2019re writing a third act for themselves previous generations could never have imagined. For some, it even brings the best sex of their lives.\xa0\nBut, of course, dating and relationships typically come with a different set of circumstances later in life. We are going to get into all the nuances with today\u2019s guests, including dealing with death, ghosts in the bed, living apart together (incorrectly referred to as \u201cliving alone together\u201d during the interview\u2014our apologies!), and more. Plus, we talk about the pros and cons of becoming a parent after 40 and the preferred terminology of \u201colder people\u201d or older adults\u201d versus \u201cold,\u201d \u201celderly,\u201d or, god forbid, \u201cgeriatric.\u201d\nFor more from today's guests, Nan Bauer-Maglin & Daniel E.
