Still Doing It: The Intimate Lives of Women Over Sixty By Deirdre Fishel and Diana Holtzberg

Still Doing It: The Intimate Lives of Women Over Sixty by Deirdre Fishel and Diana Holtzberg is a powerful, stereotype-shattering exploration of sex, love, and intimacy later in life. Drawing from real stories featured in their acclaimed documentary, the authors spotlight older women who are confidently redefining what desire, partnership, and pleasure can look like beyond sixty. Through candid conversations and deeply human experiences, this book challenges ageist myths about sexuality and proves that intimacy doesn’t fade with time, it evolves. For younger readers, it offers a refreshing and eye-opening look at aging that replaces fear with curiosity, possibility, and respect. This engaging nonfiction read blends cultural commentary with personal storytelling to show how longer, healthier lives are reshaping relationships at every stage. The women in Still Doing It are bold, self-aware, and unapologetic about what they want, offering insight into how emotional maturity, communication, and self-knowledge can lead to richer connections. Educational without being preachy, the book encourages readers of all ages and genders to rethink assumptions about desire, aging, and fulfillment. It’s an inspiring reminder that intimacy and adventure are lifelong experiences, and that the future of pleasure may be far more expansive than we’re taught to expect.
