What happens when you rediscover sexual desire in your seventies, after decades without intimacy? In this episode I chat with Andrea Feinberg, also known as Brookiana, who returns to explore sex after 70, dating in later life, sexual desire, ageing, and the extraordinary experience of erotic reawakening. When Andrea first joined me in Episode 102, she shared her journey of returning to dating, intimacy and sexual exploration in her seventies. Now she's back with her newly published book, Sex, Sensuality and the Senior Woman, to explore what that journey taught her about desire, desirability, confidence and herself. We explore: Sex after 70 and rediscovering sexual desire in later life. Why women are taught that their desirability has an expiry date. Returning to dating after decades without intimacy. The psychology of being desired and feeling desirable. Sexual confidence, sensuality and erotic identity as we age. Writing Sex, Sensuality and the Senior Woman and the vulnerability of sharing intimate experiences.
