Suzanne Noble got trolled for discussing sex in later life. She reflects on why older people face such harsh judgment for talking about intimacy, thanks her supporters, and decides to ignore the troll.
What is it about talking about sex in later life that really upsets some people? This morning I got a genuine troll, which I have to admit I haven't really had before, which may be surprising 'cause, you know, not everybody's on board with older people having sex. And this person seemed particularly put out by this idea, which, you know, I've reported him and hopefully he'll just go away now. But I don't really pay that much attention. However, I do think that clearly when something like that happens, it does make me reflect on how challenging it can be as an older person to talk about sex, to talk about intimacy, because clearly there are still some very big taboos around the subject, which make it even more important for me to talk about. So thanks to all of you people who do support me, and for all of you people out there who want to troll me, I'm just going to ignore you.
