For Her 70th Birthday, She Hired an Escort
Gail Rice, a writer and a therapist, was approaching her 70th birthday. She had given up on dating apps and hadn’t had a romantic connection with anyone in years. But for her 70th, she wanted a very specific birthday present: an orgasm.
So Rice decided to hire an escort. In this episode, she describes what went right, what went wrong and what she’s planning for her next birthday.
You can read Gail Rice’s essay about hiring an escort in the newsletter “Oldster.”
