Jane Fonda says she's gotten better at sex as she's aged, but prefers 'solo' sex now

• Jane Fonda, 84, said her sex life has improved with age during an interview with Andy Cohen.
• Fonda said over the years she overcame a fear of asking that her sexual desires be fulfilled.

With age comes sexual wisdom, according to Jane Fonda.

During a SiriusXM interview with television personality Andy Cohen on his show "Radio Andy," the 84-year-old actress said her sex life has gotten better as she's gotten older. During the episode which aired Thursday, she attributed it to overcoming a fear of asking that her sexual needs be met.

"You know, we waste way too much time not wanting to say, 'Wait a minute, hold, hold it, hold it. No, no, no. Slow down. And a little to the left.' You know, we don't, we don't wanna do that," Fonda said, referring to some women's mentality about sex.

"But when we get older, it's like, 'No, I know what I want. Give me what I want,'" Fonda said.

At the same time, Fonda said she isn't currently interested in using that confidence with a partner.

When Cohen asked Fonda for details about her current sex life, she called it "private," adding that her sex life is currently "solo."

The "Grace and Frankie" actress has been married three times, first to French director Roger Vadim from 1967-1973. She wed political activist Tom Hayden later that year and they divorced in 1990. Fonda then married Ted Turner, founder of CNN, in 1991. The couple eventually divorced in 2001.

During a 2021 interview with Harper's Bazaar, Fonda said she had no interest in partnered sex.

She said she'd "come to terms" with "the lack of intimacy."

She added that she still fantasizes about sex.

"I'll just put it out there. That I meet a professor or a researcher, somebody in that line who is really capable of loving, of cherishing a woman, so that I could test myself and see if I could show up," Fonda told Harper's Bazaar reporter Durga Chew-Bose, adding that she'd prefer a "younger man."
