In a scene that will be familiar to many who learned about the birds and the bees in a public school sex ed course, Brittney Doyle begins by pulling out a banana and a condom. “Squeeze the tip,” she says. “But make sure your condom is right side up, then roll it down until you reach the end.”
Here comes the twist: The class she is addressing is not composed of hormone-driven teenagers. Instead, Doyle’s audience is made up of folks aged 65 and older.
“When it comes to sex, I think the biggest misconception about the aging community is that they don’t have it,” Doyle says.
