Sex among seniors is slowly ceasing to be a taboo subject. Increasingly, there is an open discussion about the sexual needs of older people. The World Health Organization emphasizes that sex is one of the fundamental factors on which our well-being depends — both physically and mentally.
Fern Britton, former presenter of the "This Morning" program, speaks openly about her fears and desires related to intimacy at the age of 67.
The needs of a 67-year-old single woman
After ending her 20-year marriage to Phil Vickery, Fern Britton has started a new stage of her life. In an interview with "Woman & Home" magazine, Britton admitted that although sex is no longer a priority for her, her approach to intimacy is now more conscious.
The former presenter said that the fear of judgment is common, regardless of age, but among seniors, it is expressed through the need for deeper acceptance and understanding.
Will I be critiqued badly? Do I want to be critiqued? These are questions Britton and many women her age ask themselves.
Fern desires romance, gentleness, fulfillment, and intimacy. She emphasizes that it is no longer a youthful chase for adventure but rather a profound desire to connect with someone on an emotional and spiritual level.
She talks about what she doesn't like in bed
In mature age, there often arises a desire to reject societal expectations regarding sex. Britton clearly states what she does not want in the bedroom: - No gymnastics, not being given accessories to wear or use, not sex for sex - she confesses.
For her, it is more important to find someone who is truly fascinated by her. She wants a relationship based on mutual understanding, acceptance, and deep feelings, not just physical attraction.
Britton clearly states that she is not looking for a permanent relationship and does not want to get married again. However, she does not hide that she would like to have someone with whom to enjoy the small, everyday pleasures.
- I don't want to live with anyone and I don't want to get married again. I'm a very independent person and the older I get the more I realise I like freedom - she confesses.
