My Sexual Awakening at 70 is a raw and daring memoir that traces the path from your childhood steeped in repression and control to a late-in-life explosion of freedom, sensuality, and truth. Why was it important for you to share your story with the world?
It was important to me for a few reasons. One, I wanted to be able to tell the truth about all I went through in my growing-up years, and two, I wanted to share the joy I felt at experiencing sexual freedom for the first time in hopes that other women might be inspired and able to do the same.
What were some ideas that were important for you to share in this book?
That it is possible to live, really live, free from nightmares from the past and experience the joy of sexual freedom.
What was the most challenging part of writing your memoir, and what was the most rewarding?
It was challenging to open up about all of it, my past with my parents, and my sexual explorations, but all of it was rewarding because in the end, I was able to feel free for the first time in my life.
What do you hope is one thing readers take away from your story?
That it’s never too late to live, truly live, your own life, no matter what torment you have gone through.
What happens to a woman who seeks to rediscover her sexuality at 70? Does she visit a sex store? Does she buy toys and porn? Does she push her boundaries to even greater extremes by joining a sex chat website? She does all of this and a whole lot more!
Interweaving a repressed and intimidating upbringing with her lively and uncensored search for sexual liberation (complete with writing erotic stories), Rosenberg discovers it’s never too late to find freedom and begin life anew.
