One in three people aged over 64 are embracing sex toys and are more than willing to explore new forms of pleasure in the bedroom, according to new research, proving getting older is no barrier to a great sex life.
A sexy new survey conducted by adult store Wild Secrets, also showed shoppers aged between 55 and 64 were the store's fast-growing market, experiencing a 15 per cent surge in sales over the past 12 months.
The nationwide study explored how attitudes towards sex and sex toys change over time, revealing that sexual desire and adventurousness don't necessarily decline with age. In fact, your sex life may get a little spicier.
