"We are at the age for it" - Elderly women speak openly about sex
A new season of a Finnish dating show features elderly women candidly discussing love and sexuality in the modern dating world.
The sequel of the Finnish dating show 'Deittaavat daamit' (Dating Ladies) has begun, showcasing four senior women on a quest for love. This season, viewers will meet Erja, 74, along with newcomers Annemarie, 68, Camilla, 62, and Nina, 76. The women delve into various topics surrounding love, sexuality, and the highs and lows of dating later in life, challenging the stigma often associated with elderly relationships.
In a candid discussion, the participants reflect on their experiences with modern dating platforms like Tinder. Annemarie shares her initial hesitations towards using the app, expressing that she preferred direct interaction and was not keen on the excitement that comes with online dating. Erja humorously critiques the quality of men she encountered on Tinder, lamenting about the fading attractiveness of older gentlemen, which ties back to societal perceptions regarding aging and sexuality.
This show not only entertains but also serves to normalize conversations about aging, love, and sex. By sharing their experiences, these women challenge stereotypes and encourage a more open dialogue about the realities of dating as seniors, potentially inspiring other older individuals to explore romance and relationships confidently.
