86-Year-Old Woman Writes Steamy Novel, And We're Blushing

This time it's the author who has shades of grey.

An 86-year-old Salt Lake City woman has written a sexy novel about a bored housewife who gets "turned on" by a radio host's voice. Georgia Gorringe, a great-great-grandmother, took five years to write her first book, titled "No Good-Bye," and she's reportedly spared no sizzle.

Bobbie Posey, her daughter, told Utah's KUTV in the segment above that the 176 pages are full of "steaminess," prompting her to ask her mom, "How can you write that?"

Gorringe, who goes by the pen name Georgie Marie, insists the work is fiction, but her daughter added, "We know who she's talking about."

Jezebel offered some sample text: "Gloria never told Dr. Ben that hearing his voice made her knees go weak and quiver. It was almost orgasmic!"

Did it suddenly get warm in the newsroom?

"What ensues is excitement, anticipation, rejection, and the entire swirl of emotions that come with any love affair," the Amazon description reads . (It's also been available on Kindle since she published the book in February.)

As for the surprise ending Gorringe has cooked up, she won't spoil it for her audience. “I think they'd better read it to find out,” she said to the station.

It's Not Over

Everything in our culture makes people, and women in particular, feel that after the age of 40, they're no longer sexually attractive, and this belief gets internalized. But researcher Gina Ogden, in conducting her famed Isis study (a national survey of sexuality and spirituality), found that women in their 60s and 70s were having the best sex of their lives -- people need to understand that the brain is the most important sex organ in the body!

Hardware vs. Software

Men and women get into sexual patterns in their teens, 20s and 30s that never change. So in recognizing this, we need to say, "the hardware is going to stay the same, but we can update the software." And you can update the software by trying different things, but mostly by getting to know yourself.

Practice, Practice, Practice

If your body is an instrument, then you're only going to get better by practicing. And quite frankly, from a health standpoint, there isn't a better use of your time. Men take erection-enhancing drugs to increase nitric oxide in the penile blood vessels, but they can increase nitric oxide themselves by improving their sex lives either on their own or with a partner. Orgasms trigger a huge burst of nitric oxide, which balances the neurotransmitters in your body -- the same neurotransmitters that people take drugs to balance. It's a shame because antidepressants lower one's ability for full sexual expression, so the one thing that could really decrease depression is the one thing that the drugs quiet down. People don't realize that you can turn on chemicals in your own body without importing unnatural drugs to do it for you.

Get Fit

If you're fit, you're much more likely to have a satisfying sex life. Being and feeling healthy and being and feeling sexy are synonymous. I just spoke to a 70-year-old friend of mine -- a total fox -- who's trying his luck on eHarmony. So we talked about what people in his demographic are looking for, and we both agreed -- health! When you're healthy and your hardware is working the best it can, you can focus on downloading new software.

Take Your Time

Women need to understand that they are far more complicated sexually than men are. For men, the focus is in the genitals. But with women, sex is like a martial art, and women need to master that art and have the ability to move sexual energy around, manipulate sounds and focus on certain areas. The beauty of being over 50 is that you have more time to practice this. Women need 45 minutes to get fully turned-on. Do you know how long the average couple spends making love? 15 minutes. Slow down! Take time!
