Dear Mary: What should my wife and I do with the risque photos we took in our youth?

Q. I hesitate to bring you this problem, but I suspect it is not that uncommon. Early in our very successful marriage we privately took photographs of each other which neither of us would like our children, or indeed anyone else, to see. They were intended for our old age and now that has arrived we take the greatest pleasure in them; indeed they did much to enliven our most recent Christmas spent on our own. Those of my wife I find quite enchanting: she was extremely attractive in her youth and remains very good-looking to this day. It would be such a shame to destroy them prematurely but at some stage we will surely have to deprive ourselves. Or is there a solution you can suggest, Mary?

A. No child wants to dwell on the idea that their parents might have had sex lives. Great-grandchildren, however, are fascinated to see vintage physiques, particularly if their ancestors were good physical specimens.
