The Daily vor 1 Jahr

Mireille Silcoff recently wrote an article for The New York Times
Magazine titled “Why Gen X Women Are Having the Best Sex.” At a
time of life when many women describe feeling less visible and
less desirable, Silcoff said, her life instead “exploded in a
detonation of sex confetti.”

On this episode of Modern Love, Silcoff shares the juicy back
story to her popular article, from her coming of age in Montreal
to the surprising sexual resurgence she experienced after her
divorce. Silcoff reflects on what it feels like to be a highly
sexual person in her early 50s and tells us how being part of Gen
X is central to her newfound freedom.
