Los Angeles, CA – (January 19, 2022) – Top sexual wellness brand
Wicked Sensual Care is pleased to announce resident sex educator, brand strategist, and
Guide to Wicked Sex creator
jessica drake is featured in the January 16th, 2022
New York Times Magazine cover story by
Maggie Jones,
‘The Joys (and Challenges) of Sex After 70.’ The article can be read in its entirety
here.
Focusing on seniors with fulfilling sex lives, the comprehensively researched piece is drawn in part from the author’s experiences on the set of drake’s award-winning sexual self-help release jessica drake’s Guide to Wicked Sex: Senior Sex, a project created in collaboration with acclaimed author and senior sex authority Joan Price. Author of The Ultimate Guide to Sex After 50, Naked at Our Age: Talking Out Loud About Senior Sex, and Better Than I Ever Expected: Straight Talk About Sex After Sixty, Joan Price is recognized for her active approach and support for intimate relations by persons over 50.
In a prepared statement, the editors detailed the article’s genesis, stating “Over the course of three years, Ms. Jones and Ilena Silverman, a deputy editor at the magazine, discussed doing a story on the sex lives of seniors. During that time, Ms. Jones interviewed nearly 50 people over age 70 about marriage, dating, and hooking up, and discovered that not only were octogenarians having sex, but some were having the best, most meaningful sex of their lives. The feature tells the story of a diverse generation — married, single, straight and queer people of different races — who are finally investing in their pleasure.” In addition to serving as a contributing writer for the New York Times Magazine, Maggie Jones teaches writing at the University of Pittsburgh. She has been a Nieman fellow at Harvard University and Senior Ochberg fellow at the Dart Center for Journalism and Trauma at Columbia University.
In the pre-pandemic days of 2019, Ms. Jones accepted an invitation to visit Los Angeles – and the set of jessica drake’s Guide to Wicked Sex: Senior Sex, where she quickly learned drake’s film was the fruit of a long-held passion. “When I met Joan Price years ago, I realized immediately the impact she was making not only on seniors worldwide but also the educational community,” jessica enthused. “She has a gift of authenticity that few can match. I’d wanted to collaborate with her for quite some time to make an educational resource for older adults – generations that missed out on sex education growing up.”
As chronicled by Jones, Guide to Wicked Sex: Senior Sex explored a variety of topics, from relationship communication, discussion of trigger words and acceptable terminology between partners, along with expert advice and unique insights from drake and Price. The project featured people age 50+ in explicit demonstrations and sex scenes illustrating positions and techniques to enhance the sexual experience.
“Making Senior Sex with Joan Price was an incredible learning experience,” drake said of the shoot. “Our cast – Bonnie, Joel, Marlene, and Galen – were incredible to work with. And I’m very grateful to my awesome crew – Barrett Blade, Rae Threat, Triton, Jenna Valentine, and Jo – for all their hard work and creative effort.”
“It was an exhilarating experience to make this film with jessica drake, the cast of sexy seniors, and the top-notch crew,” Price said of the production. “Everyone worked together with a united purpose: to produce the highest-quality educational film about senior sex. I am so grateful to jessica and everyone involved for sharing my vision and bringing it to reality.”

Finance, Synergy, Jezebel, Fast Company, SHE, Adult Video News, and, currently, the New York Times Magazine, jessica drake’s Guide to Wicked Sex: Senior Sex was named Best Niche Production at the 37th Annual AVN Awards, held Saturday, January 25th during the 2020 Adult Entertainment Expo in Las Vegas.
