Shaking off their frail and vulnerable image, New York City’s older-aged singles are navigating dating and sex on a renewed quest for intimacy. After two years in which they experienced some of the harshest forms of physical isolation due to the Covid-19 pandemic, many are joining younger singles in a post-vaccination dating boom. In her one-bedroom Hell’s Kitchen apartment in midtown Manhattan, 86-year-old Hattie “Retroage” tells SBS Dateline thats she is “both cursed and blessed” with a powerful sex drive.
