Fringe Benefits (Sexy Underwear - Victorias Secret)
"I want to buy you something," Robert tells me. We head for Victoria's Secret (Store)
www.VictoriasSecret.com where he picks out a few garments for me to try on.
Although no one else in the store looks over twenty-two, no one seems to think it odd that an Over-Sixty Couple is picking out Sexy Underwear...
I try on several garments--some silky, some lacy. Not quite right. Then I don a black outfit consisting mostly of fringe.
"Oh, baby!" Robert says when I open the door and shake my fringe. Decision made. We race for home to take the fringe for a test ride.
Sexually Seasoned Women
Joan Price: I had the privilege of interviewing dozens of women over sixty who were willing to discuss their sexuality, past and present, for my book, Better Than I Ever Expected: Straight Talk about Sex After Sixty (Seal Press, 2006).
Bea, 77, is having the best sex of her life with a man thirty years younger. Claire, 66, has fallen in love with a woman she met online, and has relocated to be with her. Penny, 60, celebrated the birthday of her husband of 38 years by shaving her yoni and dancing for him. Sweet Talker, 65, works as a "phone sex fantasist," playing the role of a 29-year-old model. Rachel, 62, pleasures herself in an elegant ritual.
Here are a few samples from Better Than I Ever Expected: Straight Talk about Sex After Sixty (Seal Press, 2006):
Monica - Age 60
When I was single and my grown son was out of the house, I had a mad, passionate love affair with myself. I got fabulous lingerie and bought myself champagne. Me and a vibrator. Some days nobody else can do it like you.
Tina - Age 61
Prostate surgery has been a big challenge for my husband. Getting through that, restructuring our sexuality, reassuring him that I'm okay with how it is now (he uses Viagra and a cock ring)--all that took time. But I love the emotional connection we have, and that's the most important thing. We kiss, we fondle, we talk, we joke. Most of the time, we can have intercourse, and if we can't, so what?
Ulla - Age 61
After sixty, it's not downhill. It's still uphill when it comes to sex, only (just like a car) it slows down just a little and the hill may seem a little steeper sometimes.
Erica - Age 62
After I separated from my husband, I really came alive. Basically, I thought I'd never be interested in sex again. But I was interested in sex, just not with my husband. I started becoming ravenous about men again, as I had been in my thirties. All this desire came flooding back--pent-up demand after all those years of no sexual satisfaction. I had been very sexual in my thirties, and this was just as good, sometimes better. It was quite a revelation.
Melanie - Age 64
As a young woman, I was reluctant to tell a man what I liked. Now, at this age, I find these older men are very adept at finding out your secret wishes.
Claire - Age 66
What a surprise--someone wants me to talk about sex after sixty. I would be more than happy to tell the world about such joy. I spent fifty years of my life not knowing if I had a right to what I felt, shamed by my sexual feelings. Now I can feel sexual when and where I want to. I feel better about myself than I ever expected-- willing to make love in those ways I always fantasized but never had the courage to do before.
Kaycee - Age 66
It had been ten years since I was sexually active, and frankly I thought I was finished with it all. I joined a gym to get my poor, pathetic body into something resembling a woman. Then post-menopausal zest hit me with a huge wave of pure lust. I had this overwhelming urge to jump my trainer! I told him and he was very charming about it, but nothing happened. I ultimately transferred to another gym and decided that I needed to get back in action. Right now I am having the time of my life.
