I’ve actually found that age has affected sex in a very positive way. Now I can have five orgasms in a row
I met Max in 1975 and in those early days sex was always romantic, with candlelight and incense. We realised then that sex was a big part of our lives, wherever we lived or whatever was going on.
As we’ve got older, a lot of our friends have stopped having any kind of intimacy. It really makes me sad. They’ll say things like, “I had so much sex when I was younger, I don’t need it now.” I think that’s a shame, because intimacy builds intimacy. So no matter what, sex has always been a priority for both of us. There have been times when we’ve had surgeries or illnesses, or after our kids were born, when we took a hiatus from sex, but that was fine because we knew we were both anxious to get back to it.
