Getting older doesn't mean your sex life has to fizzle out. In fact, 66% of women aged 65+ told us they have used (or want to use) a sex toy with a partner.*
So why does sexuality get shrouded in stigma as we age?
Joining Lovehoney's panel of sexperts, the Queen Bees are here to smash stigmas and have juicy, open chats about senior sex. They'll be taking over Lovehoney's YouTube Channel with their brilliant insights and hot takes.
Until then, let's find out who the Queen Bees are and how they're about to create a buzz.

Meet the Queen Bees
Tina, Suzanne, and Judith will be tackling your questions about sex and intimacy in later life. Leading the Lovehoney hive, they’re on a mission to bust taboos, debunk myths, and inspire everyone to embrace their own fabulous sexuality.
From libido changes to body confidence, picking up your first sex toy to jumping back into dating, the Queen Bees aren’t afraid to lay it bare.
Tina Pemberton, 69
Tina is back in the dating pool and sharing her experiences through her Tina Goes Dating series on TikTok. She's devoted to breaking stereotypes about getting back out there later in life and hopes to empower more people to do the same. "I'm ecstatic about being a Queen Bee," says Tina. "I can show the world that a sexual reawakening is possible at any age."
Suzanne Noble, 63
Suzanne hosts the podcast Sex Advice for Seniors, a show dedicated to tackling the challenges and taboos around sex and relationships as we get older. She’s a passionate advocate for everyone enjoying a fulfilling sex life, no matter their age. "The more we can normalise conversations around sex and ageing, the easier it will be for society to consider sexual pleasure as an essential for healthy ageing," says Suzanne.
Judith Vandepeer Delgado, 61
Judith is a burlesque performer and teacher, known by the stage name Pupin DeVert. She believes in the power of dance to boost body confidence and help people feel sexually empowered. Judith says,"I want older women to be visible in all areas of life, and for them to be seen as the fully-rounded vibrant goddesses they are!"
