Older Women Wear Lingerie, age 75
At age 75, I posed in lingerie with the extraordinary photographer Perry Gallagher. It was my fourth time in fancy underwear in front of a camera. The previous three were at age 65 and 68 with photographer Ruth Lefkowitz, and at age 72 with Perry. I had no idea the first time that this would become a regular event every few years.
It’s fascinating to me to watch my aging process over a decade of being “old” and to affirm that sexiness can be both internal and external. We’re so judgmental about ourselves, espec
ially our bodies!
Oh sure, when I saw the 240 proofs, there were many that made me wince — did my thighs really look so puckered? But there were also many that made me smile and even laugh with joy. It was difficult to narrow down my choices because so many left me awestruck.
Once I made my choices, Perry went to work. When he showed me the first edit, I said no. He had aged me backwards about 15 years by smoothing out the wrinkles, eliminating the skin spots, tightening the midriff. The photo was beautiful and glamorous — and know that he can do that for you, too! — but I wanted authenticity. I told him to edit much more lightly, because I wanted to celebrate aging, not erase it. The photos you see here are the result. I’m thrilled with them.
And the whole process was fun! Perry loves his work and it’s clear that he really does see his subjects as beautiful. We joked and played seductive verbal games. I felt completely at ease with him and with myself.
Here’s what I learned from this photo shoot and from the previous three:
- We are our own worst critics when we assess our own bodies.
- The eyes of a skilled photographer reveal us to ourselves in ways we can’t see on our own.
- Whatever our age or the state of our body, we have beauty.
- Being photographed by a skilled photographer who sees our beauty is empowering.
- We don’t age out of sensuality or sexuality.
Perry Gallagher is a visionary, and I’m proud and honored to be part of his vision. If you’re in or near LA, I hope you’ll contact Perry and book your own photo shoot. Whether you want your photos to be boudoir ( lingerie), fine art nude, portrait, or wedding, I guarantee that Perry will put you at ease and produce beautiful photos. When you meet him, ask him to tell you the story of how he got his first camera.
By the way, I have a standing date with Perry for my 80th birthday!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Joan Price Joins
Sex Educator jessica drake in
‘Guide to Wicked Sex: Senior Sex’
Sebastopol Resident and Senior Sex Advocate
Shares Her Wellness Message in
New Chapter of Acclaimed Video Series!
SEBASTOPOL, CA (March 19, 2019) – When 57-year-old Joan Price met Sonoma County artist Robert Rice, age 64, she embarked on a love affair that would change her life forever. Writing about their relationship led Price on a path to become an internationally known senior sex expert and advocate, revolutionizing the notion that sex has no expiration date. Today, the acclaimed 75-year-old author and Sebastopol resident is sharing her ageless sexuality message for seniors as she teams up with noted sex educator jessica drake in their upcoming film, “jessica drake’s Guide to Wicked Sex: Senior Sex,” beginning production in April 2019.
Media members interested in attending the shoot in Los Angeles, or interviewing Price or drake, may email PR@GuideToWickedSex.com.
“I am thrilled to join with jessica, one of the leading sexual rights advocates, to share my message of sexual empowerment for seniors,” Price said. “Sex in our later years has its challenges, but sexual pleasure can be lifelong — with the right education, an open mind, a spirit of adventure, and a sense of humor. My mission is to provide information to help seniors enjoy sexual pleasure through the decades ahead.”
The newest edition of “Guide to Wicked Sex” brings together Price with noted performer, director and sex expert jessica drake, as they take viewers into the world of sexually-zesty aging. They explain — and performers illustrate — how couples and singles can keep the fire going and the body responding lifelong. This collaboration between the two sexperts will offer insights and tips for better intimacy after age 50, 60, 70, and beyond.
“I’m so excited to begin work on this newest installment of our award-winning series and demonstrate that sex can get better with age,” drake said. “I’m grateful to share in this effort with the amazing Joan Price who brings her vast knowledge and experience on the topic of sex for seniors. We’re looking forward to changing some attitudes and debunking misconceptions with this exciting edition of ‘Guide to Wicked Sex.’ This may be my favorite guide in the series and it hasn’t even been shot yet.”
“Guide to Wicked Sex: Senior Sex” will feature explicit demonstrations along with sex scenes illustrating sex tips and techniques. The episode will feature people sharing their talents in a unique setting that is both instructional and compelling. The new edition of the series takes viewers through a variety of topics, from how aging affects our bodies and responsiveness, relationship communication, expanding what “great sex” can be, overcoming the obstacles, and staying sexual while solo.
Price’s journey as a senior sex advocate began 18 years ago after meeting artist Robert Rice. At age 61, she wrote “Better Than I Ever Expected: Straight Talk About Sex After Sixty” (Seal Press, 2006) to celebrate the delights of older-life sexuality. She followed that with “Naked at Our Age: Talking Out Loud About Senior Sex” (Seal Press, 2011) and “The Ultimate Guide to Sex After 50” (Cleis Press, 2014) to address the problems and challenges of sex in an aging body.
Robert Rice passed away from cancer in 2008, seven years after they met and two years after they married. Joan Price continues her work to transform attitudes about senior sex. She is currently writing a new book on a topic that is sorely needed: “Sex After Grief: Navigating Your Sexuality After Loss of Your Beloved.” “I couldn’t have written this book ten years ago or even two years ago,” she says, “But now it’s time.” Price writes intimately about her own grief journey and includes other grievers’ experiences.
Before Price became a sex educator, she had two other professions. She was a high school English teacher for 22 years, the last 12 at Petaluma High School. A few years after a 1979 near-fatal automobile accident Price became a fitness professional, teaching that “exercise should be a treat, not a treatment.” She wrote several books about health and fitness, including “The Anytime, Anywhere Exercise Book: 300+ Quick and Easy Exercises You Can Do Whenever You Want.” Now, she teaches popular contemporary line dancing classes in Sebastopol and Santa Rosa, California.
About Joan Price:
Joan Price calls herself an advocate for ageless sexuality. She has been called other things by the media: “senior sexpert,” “the beautiful face of senior sex,” and—her favorite—”wrinkly sex kitten.” Joan has been writing and speaking about senior sex since 2005. Her books include:
- Sex after Grief: Navigating Your Sexuality After Loss of Your Beloved, Joan’s newest book, coming August 2019.
- The Ultimate Guide to Sex After 50: How to Maintain – or Regain!– a Spicy, Satisfying Sex Life, her most comprehensive senior sex book.
- Naked at Our Age: Talking Out Loud About Senior Sex, winner of Outstanding Self-Help Book 2012 from the American Society of Journalists and Authors and 2012 Book Award from American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists.
- Better Than I Ever Expected: Straight Talk About Sex After Sixty, Joan’s spicy memoir celebrating the joys of older-age sexuality.
- Ageless Erotica, a steamy senior sex anthology which Joan conceived and edited.
At age 75, Joan Price continues to talk out loud about senior sex — partnered or solo – in speeches, workshops, and webinars, and on her zesty blog, Naked at Our Age, which includes senior sex news, views, and sex toy reviews from a senior perspective. She also writes the “Sex at Our Age” column for Senior Planet. Subscribe to her newsletter here and watch her entertaining, free webinar, “Safer Sex for Seniors”.

Review of JETT from Hot Octopuss
Review of JETT from Hot Octopuss
by Shamus MacDuff
“Gentlemen, start your engines!” begins the famous Indianapolis 500 automobile race. With the JETT, the wonderful new sex toy for penises from Hot Octopuss, you can start your own engine, and really rev it up.
JETT’s dual engines are vibrating silver bullets powered by four AA batteries. One “engine” contains a motor that produces treble vibrations, and the other yields deeper, more rumbly bass vibrations. What makes this innovation exciting is that you control the intensity of each motor. You can play with and set the levels of treble and bass intensity against 10 built-in vibration patterns to provide a wonderfully wide range of stimulation.
JETT has an expandable, circular silicone sleeve positioned directly above the dual jet engines into which you place your penis — flaccid or erect. The sleeve surrounds the frenulum on one side and the ridge atop the penile head on the other. When JETT revs up, the sensations are multiple and magnificent. The real fun with this toy comes (pun intended) in locating precisely the right treble and bass frequencies, paired with one of the 10 vibration patterns, that launches you into the JETT stream.

When I used JETT for solo sex, I loved the way I could stretch out the glorious sensations by switching intensities and vibration patterns. I tried it starting with a flaccid penis (flaccid didn’t last long!), and next time with a semi-erect member. JETT’s “dual exhausts” quickly brought me to orgasm in both cases.
I thought JETT was solely for masturbation until my female partner asked to observe it in action. To my immense pleasure, she discovered that fellatio on the protruding tip of my penis sent me into an ecstatic state and rapid ejaculation. So there is a place for JETT in partner sex as well as solo.

Twice when I tried to change from one vibration pattern to another, JETT simply stopped on me, and I had to restart it. Also, be aware that a battery-powered device is not waterproof. But these are minor inconveniences compared to the enormous positives that surround this delightful and fun new sex toy for penises. It is also priced affordably at just $69.
Learn more about the JETT here. Thank you, Hot Octopuss, for providing me with the JETT in return for an honest review.
Shamus MacDuff, age 75, was oblivious to the delights of sex toys for penises until about 1-3/4 years ago. He’s been making up for lost time! Read his other posts here.

(February 13, 2019) – Adult
superstar, sex educator and exclusive Wicked Pictures contract star jessica drake is teaming up with acclaimed author and expert on senior sex Joan Price for the newest installment of jessica drake’s Guide to Wicked Sex: Senior Sex. The award-winning instructional series is now in pre-production and casting for several roles.
The newest edition of Guide to Wicked Sex aims to explore sexually active aging, and how couples and singles can keep the fire going and the body responding throughout the passage of time. This collaboration between the award-winning performer and activist and the noted expert on senior sex will offer insights and tips for better sex after age 50, 60, 70, and beyond.
Wicked Pictures is currently seeking people over 60 years of age who are interested in participating in this educational video with interviews, hardcore demonstrations, and possibly penetrative sex scenes. All applicants will be considered and the director is open to all entries. Previous on-camera experience is not necessary. To apply, please send photos and a short biography to GTWScasting@wickedpictures.com.
Drake recounts when the seeds for the project were first planted, “When I met Joan years ago, I realized immediately the impact she was making not only on seniors worldwide, but also the educational community. She has a gift of authenticity and relatability that few can match. I’ve wanted to collaborate with her for quite some time now to make an educational resource for older adults – generations that missed out on sex ed growing up and are now facing new challenges.” She continues with her current ideas, “My goals for this project are to ‘give permission’ to folks who may not believe they have it, to explore their sexualities and live out their fantasies, no matter their age or perceived physical limitations. I want to use my Guide to Wicked Sex series to empower as many people as possible, and I am grateful to Joan for her hard work and effort in creating this vision along with me.”
“Guide to Wicked Sex: Senior Sex” will take viewers through a variety of topics, from how aging affects our bodies and responsiveness, relationship communication, expanding what “great sex” can be, overcoming the obstacles, and staying sexual while solo. With expert advice and unique insights from drake and Price, this new installment of the acclaimed series will feature people in explicit demonstrations and sex scenes illustrating sex tips and techniques to enhance the sexual experience, partnered or solo.
Price comments, “I’ve long admired jessica drake for her sexual rights activism, her support of causes that touch her heart, and her dedication to sex education. Our Wicked Guide to Senior Sex is an outgrowth of all of these. jessica and I have been discussing and planning this project for a couple of years, and I’m thrilled that it will come to fruition in the next few months!” She explains, “Why a Wicked Guide to Senior Sex? You’d think that by age 50, 60, 70 and beyond, we’d know everything we need to know about sex. But no one warns us that our bodies and sexual responses will change as we age, often dramatically. Many seniors think that sex is over when they start experiencing sexual challenges, discomforts, and disappointments. But the truth is that sex can be exciting and satisfying again—with the right education, a spirit of adventure, and clear communication. I’m 75, and I’ve been writing and speaking about senior sex since 2005. This film will give a new dimension to older-adult sex education, with clear, practical advice demonstrated by real, sexy seniors.”
As a noted author of several books about senior sex, including “The Ultimate Guide to Sex After 50,” and self-described “advocate for ageless sexuality,” Joan Price is recognized for her active approach and support to restore or recreate satisfying sex for boomers, seniors, and elders.
Nominated Sexpert of the Year and Crossover Star of the Year at the 2019 XBIZ Awards, jessica drake is known for her best-selling adult movies and popular live appearances at men’s clubs. She is also a frequent contributor to a variety of media outlets as well as being highly sought-after sexual wellness speaker and educator who lectures at universities and leads seminars and workshops around the world.
