In her essay forCosmopolitan,Seymour expanded on the idea of intimacy later in life, saying that after the age of 60, “you come to realize that” it “can also be self-serving.”
“I’ve spoken with friends whose spouses have passed away and whose doctors have said, ‘Now it’s time for you tolearn to be intimate with yourself,’ " she wrote. “Sure, loving touch changes according to what abilities you have physically as you age, but it’s certainly not something you give up just because you’re a certain age.”
“Your sex life doesn’t need to end at 60,” theformer Bond girlcontinued. “At the end of the day, everyone is looking for something that puts blood into a certain area.”
“When you can figure that out, well, you’re going to be a happy camper. (And bonus: You’re not going to get pregnant, right?)” Seymour joked.
