This topic resonates so much with me! I’m a 62-year-old woman, and I’ve always believed in the importance of self-care and intimacy as a path to a fulfilling life. I think it’s essential to recognize that self-pleasure doesn’t end as we age. In fact, it becomes an even more valuable tool for self-connection and mental clarity. Society has often made older generations feel ashamed for having these needs, but I refuse to let that hold me back.
For me, solo time is both meditative and pleasurable. I’ve found that having this personal connection makes me more confident and in touch with my desires. It’s also been a huge help in reducing stress and giving me time to unwind. Sometimes, I think of it as an act of kindness to myself, a way to stay connected to my own body and spirit.
In my relationship, my partner and I are comfortable with each other’s solo practices, and it’s actually brought us closer. We don’t see it as a replacement for intimacy but as an addition. Being open about self-pleasure has removed any tension or misunderstanding around it. It’s made our relationship more supportive and understanding, which is a beautiful thing.
I appreciate hearing other people’s experiences here—it reminds me that we’re not alone in this! There’s a whole world of people embracing the joys of intimacy at every stage of life, and it’s empowering to be part of that.
