'It always feels exciting
Sudi Pigott, 63 Being in love again just post 60 is exhilarating, sometimes tempestuous, and my sex life is better than ever. Yes, in the heady early days of meeting Stephen, we'd almost always go to bed as soon as he arrived in London from his Suffolk cottage, or as soon as I got to his place. Even as a committed foodie writing on restaurants and all things culinary for a living, dinner had to wait and take second place. More than two years on, our appetite has settled a little and we rarely wake up in the middle of the night for a spot of fun as we did.
Yet, we remain joyously hungry for each other. We met through a dating website after I'd had a long period of short-term, intermittent relationships with only occasional really good sex and more inconsiderate or simply poor or incapable performers.
What perhaps helps to keep the passion so ignited is that we don't live together. Stephen still lives in Suffolk three nights a week, so it always feels exciting when we see each other again.
Yes, the realities of life and work have intervened, yet we still average sex twice a weekend, unless we're on holiday and have all the time in the world. Our most regular time for sex is Sunday mornings. Stephen flexes his barista skills to bring up coffee in bed.
