Sex isn’t just for young people with perfect bodies

Q. I’m 58 and have little interest in sex. My husband and I sleep in separate bedrooms and have sex about every second month.

Sex isn’t just for young people with perfect bodies

A. Sexuality is like a journey. We see different things, go to new and familiar places and there is never full certainty. The weather, our own mood and the mood of others will dictate how the journey progresses.
