In your thirties, you're much more comfortable with sex. First of all, sex is something you've done more.

And you can joke about sex much more.
The same authorities who insist upon beginnings, middles, and ends, declare that Great Literature (by which they mean the stories they have been taught to admire) is about love and death, while mere popular fiction like this is about sex and violence.
