Can I try sex toys?

Dear Bunmi,

I’m in my late 60 and 10 t my husband two years ago. haven’t had sex since his death and I miss having orgasms. I’m now toying with the idea of using a dildo; I have even visited a few sex shops abroad just to have a look. Do you think I’m a bit too old for this sort of thing? I wouldn’t want to do myself any physical damage.

 Dear Philo,

You’re absolutely not too old for this sort of thing! As for doing yourself any harm – the opposite is the case. A dildo will massage your vagina keeping you healthy ‘down there’plus, having orgasms will help you stay fit. So,just do it!

As you haven’t had sex for a while, you may need to take things slowly and gently – like any muscle, your vagina can suffer from lack of use. And, if you feel a bit dry, add in some lubrication – you can use your own saliva, a specially- designed lubricant from a chemist, or any unperformed body oil.
