Who said that sex dies after 50?
According to USA Today, 40% of Americans aged 65 to 80 are sexually active. There’s even better news because 73% of them report they are satisfied with their sex lives.
One of the main sex toy brands to acknowledge and target this older demographic is Hot Octopuss, the creator of best-selling vibrators like the Pulse Solo Essential and the Queen Bee.
Earlier this month, the company launched the Senior Sex Hub to help break the outdated stereotype of the sexless older person.
Sexy senior resource
The Senior Sex Hub was created in collaboration with Joan Price, an internationally-acclaimed author and advocate for healthy senior sexuality.
The website includes a dedicated “Dear Joan” section, where older people can ask the sexpert questions about how to overcome age-related issues in the bedroom.
The Senior Sex Hub also has a blog where topics related to sex in later life are talked about with honesty yet without taboo. Readers can expect tips about how to use sex toys for people with ageing penises and vulvas, as well as advice on erectile dysfunction, post-menopausal sex, and relationship problems.
In addition, to help end the stigma surrounding senior sex, Hot Octopuss is inviting its older customers to submit photos of themselves in sexy poses or sexy lingerie. The brand is offering $200 for each photo it chooses to publish on the Senior Sex Hub.

Seniors buy sex toys, too
“A fifth of the toys we sell on our site are bought by customers aged 55 or over,” said Julia Margo, co-founder at Hot Octopuss.
“This, along with what I’ve learned talking to older customers and senior sex experts over the last nine years at Hot Octopuss, tells me that information and tools addressing issues such as menopause, stiff joints, and erectile dysfunction can make all the difference to an individual’s sex life as one gets older.”
Price also expressed her enthusiasm about the project.
“It’s about time that senior sex is brought out of the shadows,” she said, “and who better to do this than, in my opinion, the world’s most progressive and inclusive sex toy brand, Hot Octopuss?”
Price is the author of four top-selling books about ageless sex, including Naked at Our Age: Talking Out Loud About Senior Sex and Sex After Grief: Navigating Your Sexuality After Losing Your Beloved.
In 2019, she also worked as a consultant on the adult film Jessica Drake’s Guide to Wicked Sex: Senior Sex [NSFW].
On her blog, Joan has been offering honest sex toy reviews, advice, and sex-related news since 2005. Recently, she moved her career forward becoming the resident sexpert at Hot Octopuss.
To celebrate the launch of the Senior Sex Hub, Hot Octopuss is offering a 20% discount to its customers with the code “SENIOR20”.
