Lisa Rinna admits she and her husband Harry Hamlin don't have as much sex as they used to now he is in his 70s.
The former 'Real Housewives of Beverly Hills' star has been married to the 'Mad Men' actor, 72, since March 1997 and although they have always enjoyed a very active physical relationship the frequency of their lovemaking has reduced since he reached his eighth decade.
But Lisa, 60, insists the sex they do have is still fantastic and they ensure they have date nights and romantic hotel stays to keep the erotic flame burning.
Speaking to Cosmopolitan for a "Sex After 60" segment, she spilled: "I do think that desire levels change for a man. That’s just the natural evolution of life. So it’s figuring out how to coexist without taking that personally as a woman.
“I think that it’s almost more about companionship and about creating space for the ebb and flow of sexuality. We really have great sex together, and we always have. It’s just that maybe it doesn’t happen quite as often as it did when you’re in your 30s and in your 20s. And I think that’s normal.
“Life goes by like a freight train and you have to make time as a couple, even just to go to dinner but also to have sex, to have a sex night, or maybe go to a hotel.
“You have to create that. And we have really been very diligent about doing that over the last 25 years.”
The former 'Melrose Place' actress - who has two grown-up daughters, Delilah and Amelia, with Harry and is stepmother to his son Dimitri Alexander from his relationship with former Bond girl Ursula Andress - credits Harry with giving her the confidence to explore her sexuality and grow as a woman.
She added: "I have not always been this in touch with my sexuality at all. I grew up very repressed, like everybody did in the ’60s. It just wasn’t something that nice girls did or talked about or flaunted, especially not in Medford, Oregon, where I was raised. You’re just a good girl, and you don’t say how you feel; you just try to be quiet.
"Harry is so accepting of who I am and always has been, and so I’ve grown into that. He’s been a supportive partner this whole time, 31 years later.”
