Dear Suze, Your blog makes me laugh and some readers’ stories make me think I was raised in a bubble too. I married after college and immediately had 3 kids. In my 50s I had time to breathe and wonder where the time went. My life revolved around helping my husband’s company, and babysitting the grandkids. He retires soon at 70 and wants to “catch up on our lost time” with cruises, swing dance class, and romance! We haven’t had regular sex in… a long time. I’m not sure the body parts even work. Maybe we are too old.
Dear Unsure, How exciting! A do-over! Just like you research which cruise, educate yourself on sex in your 70s -a very healthy activity once you get the hang of it. Read up on the “rustiness factor” coined by Harvard researchers Schwartz and Olds, flick through websites for tips, select nostalgic music and sexy lingerie. Remember when cuddling and canoodling were titillating? Sweet pillow talk, gentle strokes and touches were intimate and arousing? Making love is the goal, with or without sexual intercourse. PLAY around to find out what sex moves still work and what you can modify. -SQ
