Frisky business at every stage of life

IRISH women in their 50s and upwards are having great sex, but can struggle to feel attractive in an image-driven society.

Irish sexologist Emily Power Smith says it is nonsense to depict women as not wanting sex after menopause.

“It’s my experience that Irish women in their 50s and 60s, and older, who love sex and are not in long-term relationships often find younger men to be sexual with — there are lots of younger men who are attracted to older women, because of their life experience and skills,” she says.
