Overview
In Sex After Sixty, Marie de Hennezel addresses the most taboo of subjects: the sexuality of seniors.
Employing an equal measure of modesty and irreverence, de Hennezel probes the mystery and depth of the enjoyment of physical love at a later stage of life. Through interviews, lectures, and her own analysis — including forays into areas such as tantric sex — she invites the reader on a journey to the heart of this unrecognised territory.
It turns out that emotional intimacy plays a huge role in maintaining a sex life as you age. The quality of a relationship obviously matters a lot in being able to take your time, trust your partner, and explore a sexuality that’s more sensual and more playful than that of earlier years. It’s all about knowing how to take pleasure as it comes, rather than focussing on what could be … This is what characterises a less impulsive, but more erotic, sexuality. And it’s not less satisfying, either. Far from it.

Praise
‘Marie de Hennezel allows the reader to deliciously eavesdrop on ordinary elderly people talking about how they keep the fires of passion burning. Not only is sex possible, it’s better. Who wouldn’t want to read this book? I couldn’t stop turning the pages: all these people, my age and older, speaking with such openness about the pleasures that age cannot erase.’
‘De Hennezel conversationally recounts her interviews with various couples on their marital and extramarital relations and discusses approaches that have worked well for some couples, including some ideas drawn from Tantra and other Eastern erotic arts. The book is not just about sex but delves deeply into intimacy and how to ignite and sustain it … The book is written for those over 60, but it offers many insights for readers of any age who are interested in improving their relationships.’
