00:00You know how to initiate. Even though you're 70 or 80, people know how to initiate sex.
00:04Snuggle up in the bed together and something ends up happening.
00:09Sex has become awkward to talk about as we've gotten older.
00:12How do couples reopen that conversation after years of silence, Grandma Gail?
00:15First of all, sex is fun when you're young.
00:20And it's wonderful as you get older. It just takes on different aspects of sex.
00:25It's not necessarily the hot passion that you had when you were in your 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s.
00:32You have different wants. Sex becomes less the act as one ages and more about the intimacy.
00:40Okay, but some people want to have sex even if they're older.
00:43Then they should do it.
00:43So maybe you're 50, 60, 70, whatever.
00:45As they've gotten older, maybe they realize from 20 or 30 it's different at 50.
00:50Well, it is different.
00:50And it's been a while.
00:51Like, how do you bring that conversation up with your partner?
00:55You know how to initiate.
00:57Even though you're 70 or 80, people know how to initiate sex.
01:00Snuggle up in the bed together and something ends up happening.
01:03That said, let's say they haven't even had that intimacy in a while.
01:07How do you suddenly just start one day if it's been a bit?
01:10So that has to be discussed because a lot of women in their 80s don't really want to have sex.
01:14And a lot of men in their 80s can't have sex whether they have Viagra or not.
01:18So I think all these things evolve.
01:22It usually evolves very naturally and is not the same as when you're younger.
01:27If it's something that has been lacking for a bit.
01:30Hold hands and put your arm around the other person and see what comes out of it.
01:35Okay.
01:36So just a little like movie like, ah, kind of thing.
01:39Yeah, exactly.
01:40And see what happens.
01:41I think it's more than that when you're 80.
01:43Yeah, I think so.
01:44Because they probably can't raise their arm.
01:45Oh, yeah.
01:46Okay, take your meds, go to Pilates, then try the yawn thing.
01:49This is a lot of work.
01:50I get why people are holding back in their 80s.
