A Frenchwoman's advice for how women—and men—of a certain
age can enjoy love, sex, and desire in their sixties and
seventies and beyond.
With wit and a soupçon of irreverence, Marie de Hennezel shows
that there is no age limit for erotic joy. Through interviews
with countless older French women and men, de Hennezel uncovers a
plethora of tips for enjoying a rich and satisfying sex life
after age sixty. She suggests that perhaps the most important
point is to have a positive self-image—to love yourself—and
instead of worrying about wrinkles and other outward signs of
aging, to cultivate an inner youthfulness, which, combined with a
certain maturity, she says, can be sexier than youth all by
itself. It is better to skip the plastic surgery and intense
workouts at the gym and focus on sensuality, pleasure, and
emotional intimacy instead.

Other tips for how to keep that certain je ne sais quoi include
forgetting about sexual performance, shifting from thinking about
the body you have (how it looks in the mirror) to focusing on the
body you are (how it feels), and being able to surrender during
love and sex. Bringing a sense of humor and a bit of playfulness
to the boudoir doesn't hurt either.
