I am 69 (double entendre intended), and I enjoyed your feature (‘We’re having way better sex than our kids!’, 9 March). Then I reread it and made a to-do list for me and my husband:
Research positions that don’t hurt arthritic wrists, hips or knees (find ancient copy of The Joy of Sex – or did it go to the charity shop?).
Buy a vibrator suitable for the over-70s (get tips by rewatching Grace and Frankie selling sex toys to seniors – Netflix, season 3).
Use Freedom Passes to travel to a pharmacy several miles from friends and neighbours, and buy Viagra.
Google “loose-fitting, sexy dressing-up clothes for over-60s”.
Set weekly reminder on phone to send saucy texts and photos to husband (Google “how to add flattering filters to photos”).
Search loft for a couple of old cushions for support, preferably with removable, washable covers.
Buy a Teasmade (“their aimless, long, lovemaking sessions … either end with an orgasm, or a cup of tea”).
Buy a litre of lube (“they use, she says, ‘mountains of lube’”).
Exhausted after finishing the list, I took a nap and luxuriated in having our double bed all to myself.
