Polyamory in Retirement Homes? - sounds like a far fetched idea - but not beyond the realms of possibility speculates Moses Ma in an article at Tantric News 11 July 2009
I’m an armchair futurist, and one of my predictions is that as the baby boom enters retirement, we’ll begin to see polyamorous retirement communities that look an awful lot like the communes of the 60’s. Such places will seem utopian, compared to the painful realities of assisted living facilities. I’d like to share a few thoughts, that I hope will inspire discussion…
In my vision, these retirement communes would cater to former hippies, and would feel more like a reunion of lifelong friends than a rest or retirement home. Every day would reflect a deep sense of peace, where residents are finally free to delve deeper into the arts of tai chi, meditation, awareness and tantra. A lot of great music. A lot of art. And there would be a lot of parties. So many great parties that your teenaged grandchildren would beg to visit. Instead of the smell of antiseptic, there would be the scents of incense and marijuana.
