That may have something to do with it but did I think there's more. That demographic includes those who came of age during the 60's along with the BCP and sex without so much risk. The worst that could happen back then had a cure. Now those people are losing spouses to death and divorce and are back into a dating population of sorts. It's sort of an "it can't happen to me, I'm an old man/woman" sort of thing.
