I’m 69 (double entendre meant), and I loved your characteristic (‘We’re having manner higher intercourse than our youngsters!’, 9 March). Then I reread it and made a to-do checklist for me and my husband:
Analysis positions that don’t damage arthritic wrists, hips or knees (discover historic copy of The Pleasure of Intercourse – or did it go to the charity store?).
Purchase a vibrator appropriate for the over-70s (get suggestions by rewatching Grace and Frankie promoting intercourse toys to seniors – Netflix, season 3).
Use Freedom Passes to journey to a pharmacy a number of miles from mates and neighbours, and purchase Viagra.
Google “loose-fitting, attractive dressing-up garments for over-60s”.
Set weekly reminder on telephone to ship saucy texts and images to husband (Google “the right way to add flattering filters to images”).
Search loft for a few previous cushions for help, ideally with detachable, washable covers.
Purchase a Teasmade (“their aimless, lengthy, lovemaking periods … both finish with an orgasm, or a cup of tea”).
Purchase a litre of lube (“they use, she says, ‘mountains of lube’”).
Exhausted after ending the checklist, I took a nap and luxuriated in having our double mattress all to myself.
