Never Too Late to Live
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.

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.
MY SEXUAL AWAKENING AT 70
My Sexual Awakening at 70 is a raw and daring memoir about rediscovery. Author Lynn Brown Rosenberg lays her life bare, tracing the path from a childhood steeped in repression and control to a late-in-life explosion of freedom, sensuality, and truth. The book moves between her past, domineering parents, a complicated marriage, and years of self-doubt, and her present, where she embarks on an unapologetic journey of sexual and emotional awakening. Through online encounters, erotica, and unfiltered introspection, Rosenberg chronicles not just the story of an older woman reclaiming pleasure, but of a human being learning to stop asking for permission to exist.
I found myself amazed by the honesty. It’s fearless. The writing feels like someone thinking out loud, recalling memories, laughing at herself, and still managing to hit deep emotional truths. There’s something disarming about how Rosenberg admits her confusion and her cravings in the same breath. I admired her courage. At times I cringed, sometimes I smiled, and more than once I felt protective of her. The story doesn’t hide behind metaphor or decorum. It’s blunt, messy, and completely alive.
The tone swings from tender reflection to explicit sexual detail abruptly. The writing isn’t polished in a literary sense, but it’s authentic. I could feel the author working through her shame, sentence by sentence. And that, more than perfect phrasing, makes the book resonate. It’s not erotica for titillation. It’s confession. It’s a woman wrestling with the ghosts of her upbringing and winning, one awkward online chat and vibrator purchase at a time. The humor, the pain, the wonder, they all spill out in a way that feels real.
I’d recommend this memoir to anyone who’s ever felt cut off from their desires or silenced by expectation. It’s not a book for the faint of heart; its sexual content is frank and unfiltered, but beneath the surface, it’s relatable. It’s about reclaiming voice, body, and agency, no matter how late in life that happens. It’s also a reminder that it’s never too late to grow, to take risks, and to feel alive again. I think people who appreciate honest, self-examining memoirs like Eat, Pray, Love or The Sexual Life of Catherine M. will find this deeply resonant.
