Jane Seymour said that in her later years she enjoyed closer relationships than ever before.
In an essay Seymour wrote for Cosmopolitan magazine, the 72-year-old actress explained why sex with her boyfriend John Zambetti, 73, was the best she'd ever had. The “Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman” star revealed in October that she was dating the musician.
“Sex now is better and more passionate than any I can remember, because it's built on trust, love, and experience,” Seymour said in Wednesday's issue of the magazine. I wrote this in the issue of “Sex after 60''.

she continued. “I know myself and my body now, and John has had his own experiences in life. It's different than it was when he was younger. Among the younger generation, people have sex first And then you'll say, “Oh, by then.” By the way, hello. How is it going? ”

“The older we get, the more sex becomes built on emotional intimacy, on sharing life's ups and downs with someone else – our emotions, our joys, our sorrows, our mutual passion, our desires.”
The British native also dispelled the idea that people lose their desire for sex and physical intimacy as they age.
“Your sex life doesn't have to end at 60,” Seymour writes. “At the end of the day, everyone is looking for something that injects blood into a specific area.
She continued, “Once you figure that out, you'll be a happy camper (and bonus: you won't get pregnant, right?).”

Seymour explained that after turning 60, she realized that intimacy “can also be selfish.” She recalled, “I've talked to friends who lost their spouses and whose doctors said, 'This is a time to learn to be intimate with someone,' yourself.”
“Certainly, loving touch changes with age and depending on what your physical abilities are, but it doesn't mean you give up on it just because you're a certain age.” writes Seymour.
The former Bond girl said there was a stigma in discussions of older people's sex lives and biological processes such as menopause. Seymour said some older people “give up” because of her bias, she claimed.

“They don't just give up physically, they give up mentally and emotionally,” she wrote. “In my opinion, life can only get better if you open your mind and listen to your body and your own voice.”
“It's funny, right now I feel like I'm 16 years old even though I'm so experienced,” Seymour added. “I truly feel that sex and intimacy are better at this age than they used to be. In fact, I do.”
“It wasn't until I got married and became single that I realized I didn't have to disappear to feel sex and romance,” she added.

After her last relationship ended, Seymour wrote that she noticed that she had a tendency to “disappear” in relationships and surrender her power to the men in her life.
“Dating someone was about 'having it all' – career, blended family, marriage – not love, and it was never about me,” she said.
After their final breakup, Seymour recalled, “I was going to be single and alone.”
“I went to Greece and rented a small yacht in the southern Ionian Sea,” she wrote. “I went to Iceland and climbed a glacier. I wanted to live what I call an 'experiential life' with my children while I was healthy, healthy and happy.”

Seymour continued, “When I decided to be intentionally single and just live, breathe, and surround myself with the things that matter most to me, I was the healthiest I've ever been. For the first time in my life, I… was not half the man.”

Around that time, Zambetti told his son that Seymour was at a nightclub with some friends when he spotted her. After that, the two arranged a date with the help of their children, and the two quickly tied the knot.
“When John and I first met, he saw me as someone who was happy on his own, without looking too intently,” she wrote. “I couldn't be happier to be surrounded by friends and family. Literally, I think there were 16 people at home this time, including my sisters, their husbands, cousins, and even my grandchildren.”

“John was immediately exposed for who I really was,” Seymour explained. “So even though I was actively disinterested in love at the time, he still thought highly of me and it was a privilege to see me in my life. I thought he was part of a gang.” I made you.”

The actress explained that her and Zambetti's bond was based on more than mutual physical attraction.
“More important than our compatibility, it was a real fit in terms of our families, our cultures, and what we like,” Seymour wrote.

“I never imagined that I would be able to unashamedly be myself without worrying about what other people think.Especially at 72, everyone has baggage and sometimes… You may experience reduced joint function, tingling in your back, and mild arthritis,” she joked.
“But that's life, so it's important to have a sense of humor,” Seymour added. “When people fit, they fit. When you have love and intimacy and a desire to find joy in your partner and pleasure in yourself, and you can do that all at the same time, that's magic.”
“It's absolute magic in any form.”
