When it came to her sex life, Jane Fonda has never been shy. The US actress also has no problem talking about intimacy in old age. However, she no longer feels a great desire for it.
Jane Fonda rarely minces her words, even when it comes to sex. And so the US actress and activist is once again reflecting on how her approach to intimacy has changed over the years.
