Does sex get better after 60? That's a question I get asked all the time. You tell me, does sex get better after 60? I'm really happy with the sex that I have at the moment. I think it's great. What's good about it is that it's the kind of sex that I enjoy, and I know that because I ask for what I like, and the person that I'm with likes that too, so that's great. And I think that's part of being older, it's just being able to communicate with your partner what it is that you like and what it is that you don't like. Stuff that's not so great is it just takes a lot longer to have an orgasm, which, you know, I mean, doesn't really bother me, but of course it was faster when I was younger. Um, my body was probably a little bit hotter when I was younger, which is normal. And but other than that, I would say that sex over 60 is great. And but I think it's all just very, very personal. Some people have had great sex in their younger days. Some people have never had great sex. Some people don't care if they have great sex or not. What I would say is that at 60, I think we're just a lot more comfortable about who we are. We just know what we want and we're not afraid to ask for it.
