Apparently, the Best Sex Won't Happen in Your 20s
Jane Fonda has a word.
Jane Fonda has paved the way for fearless, sex-positive young women from fitness to self-love. But her stance on sexuality might divide younger crowds.
In a radio interview with Andy Cohen, Fonda revealed that sexual wisdom is real and it develops with age. She told host Cohen, “You know, we waste way too much time not wanting to say, ‘Wait a minute, hold, hold it, hold it. No, no, no. Slow down. And a little to the left” in fear of upsetting some partners. As young femme’s — especially those who were reared as women — we’ve been raised to prioritize the feelings of our male counterparts, even when it means neglecting our own.
According to Fonda, not being vocal about what you like is a recipe for the worst sex. In her experience, that kind of sexual wisdom and stellar communication came as she got older. “Women, I think tend to get better because they lose their fear of saying what they need,” she said. The concern with not emasculating cis male partners when providing feedback no longer takes precedence because pleasure becomes more important.
However, although Fonda is more sexually-wise now, she’s not currently open to partnered sex. Apparently, at this point in her life, she’s prioritizing solo sex and boldly shared, that she may be open to dating a younger man.
