5 ways to have a great relationship when you’re older

Lucy Harmer of the charity Independent Age says: 1. TALK TO EACH OTHER Start a conversation that’s not just about who’s going to put the bins out, but a sharing of views. 2. SEX ISN’T JUST ABOUT INTERCOURSE Intercourse can become difficult as you age, but there are many forms of intimacy to explore. 3. HAVE BODY CONFIDENCE All of our bodies change with age, but that doesn’t have to lower your self-esteem. 4. EXPERIMENT There’s no reason why you can’t be more adventurous. You may find you have fewer inhibitions. 5. PRACTISE SAFE SEX Pregnancy may not be an issue, but condoms guard against STIs.
