What Is Sex Like After 70?

HUFFPOST
About this episode
If you're lucky enough to get to that "certain age," do you retire from your sex life at the same time you retire from your career?Probably (hopefully!) not -- but popular culture doesn't give us much of an indication otherwise. Sure, there are subtle hints of things that might go wrong with our bodies as we age, but seniors having awesome sex is rarely something we see or talk about.So what's the real deal when it comes to getting it on in the golden years?In an attempt to answer this question, co-hosts Carina Kolodny and Noah Michelson spoke to sex and aging experts and real seniors who were willing to open up and get candid about their sex lives, including: Joan Price, author of The Ultimate Guide To Sex After Fifty; author and activist Angus Whyte; Dr. Madeline Castellano AKA 'The Sex MD' and a New Orleans grandma named Prissy.
