‘These aren’t perfect bodies but this is everyone’s future, and I wanted to show that old age is not a dismal, barren place. Sex is a natural instinct that doesn’t go away’
y book Elder Sex came out of an article about sex after the age of 70 which was publishedin January 2022. It’s all the pictures that the Times couldn’t publish. For instance, they couldn’t show any vibrators. America is a puritan country, remember? We have all these uptight evangelicals here.
I’m 74, so they were all just a few years older than me. I wanted to make them look good. They’re not perfect bodies, but this is everybody’s future, and I wanted to show it is not this dismal, barren place.In all of history, people have never before been so healthy at this age. Plus, there has never been such easy access to sex toys
Our models were all in lingerie. The Times wouldn’t have let me shoot them naked – but then most people play dress-up on a special night or afternoon. The interesting thing – and it came as a real shock – was that all the signifiers of ageing just didn’t exist in the close-ups. I had to make sure to include their neck and hair, just so you could tell they were in their 70s. Where you age is your neck, your hands and your thighs; the parts that haven’t been in the sun looked young.
