Dubbed Generation X-Rated, along with their nude snaps, they are sharing saucy sex confessions, dating toyboys and having the steamiest sex of their lives.
Even at 67 Sharon Stone — technically a boomer — has set pulses racing with her latest magazine cover for Vogue. Proudly revealing her breasts in a sheer dress, it's her raunchiest shoot to date.
While many may judge them for not 'acting their age', I'm sure millennials knee deep in nappies and Peppa Pig — in the so-called arid years — will be looking on with a hint of the green-eyed monster, and hoping that they too will revive their mojo in mid-life.
Sharon Stone says she is 'hotter now than I have ever been' and that just as many people want to
sleep
with her as in her younger years. Meanwhile

And kudos to Amanda Holden, who is happily 'swinging from the chandeliers' with husband Chris Hughes, 51.
She says he can't keep his hands off her, adding: 'I actually tell him off because I say, 'I don't want to have a kiss and a grope while I'm trying to load the dishwasher.'
One secret to their saucy sex life is that

The German model's daughter Leni, 20, also revealed on a podcast that she and her friends found her mum's sex closet — where she keeps her sex toys and dressing-up clothes.
While most teens would be mortified, Leni described the secret stash as 'cool'.
Sexual prime
According to research, it's not just celebrities or fictional characters such as the Sex And The City girls or Bridget Jones who are experiencing a sexual reawakening in their 50s and beyond.
Women over 50 — perhaps surprisingly — have more body confidence than younger women.

While millennials and Gen Z are in a sexual
recession
— having less sex than their parents — many women of Generation X or even boomers like Sharon Stone are in their sexual prime.

Sex and relationship expert Kate Taylor said: 'Women over 50 — perhaps surprisingly — have more body confidence than younger women.
'A survey by dating site Ourtime found that senior daters are more likely to leave the lights on in bed, and have sex sooner than daters aged 20 to 30.'
She also said women have more access than previous generations to HRT to increase natural libido, and beauty treatments to boost confidence.
Halle Berry is one Hollywood A-lister who has talked
freely
about post-menopause sex.

Last month she shared a video lying naked in bed with her boyfriend, 55-year-old musician Van Hunt, and held up a bottle of personal lubricant, laughing to the camera — hinting that they were about to get frisky.
She has previously revealed that she has had red-light therapy down below and uses lubricating skincare products, declaring that she is now 'juicy like a peach'.
Halle, 58, who has her own range of intimate wellness products, is as stunning as ever and her confidence is through the roof — at this year's Met Gala she appeared to go commando and left little to the imagination in a sheer dress.
She insists 'Age is just a number they stick on us at birth' and looking at these sexy stars, you might say that it's almost possible to freeze time — if you have the means to do so.

One posted: 'How the f*** are you 52?' while another speculated that she had airbrushed her bottom to make it appear bigger. Others left a trail of flame emojis and marriage proposals.
Twice-married Sofia recently declared that she is looking for 'a lover' after her divorce from actor Joe Manganiello was finalised last year.

As our hormone levels change, declining oestrogen can rev up the impact of our body's natural testosterone, making us feel lustier and more energetic.

Kate Taylor says: 'Women over 50 get a boost of va-va-voom, especially if they're single.'

And contrary to the trope that all menopausal women lose interest in sex, she adds: 'As our hormone levels change, declining oestrogen can rev up the impact of our body's natural testosterone, making us feel lustier and more energetic.'
Youth, they say, is wasted on the young. And numerous studies have shown that Gen Z is too busy scrolling TikTok and taking selfies to have much real-life sex.
Meanwhile those in their 50s and older have reported improvements to their sex lives, with more than a third having the best sex of their lives, according to Swedish sex toy firm Lelo.
Maybe youth isn't wasted on the young then — it's just the warm-up act for a spicier mid-life.

Beautiful beach-side all-inclusive hotel, with stunning swim-up rooms, fabulous food and incredible cocktails
WHEN you choose to slip a descriptive adjective into a name, you'd better make sure everything lives up to the billing. The late, great MARVELOUS Marvin Hagler fought his corner as undisputed middleweight boxing champion. Advertisement 12 Stunning beach-side hotel flanked by Taurus mountains 12 The hotels is low-rise and features lots of swim-up and direct pool access rooms Footballer BRIGHT Osayi-Samuel justified his name to star under Jose Mourinho at Fenerbahce in Turkey . So when we headed for the Fortunately, it did produce the X-Factor and completely live up to its lavish title. The trip to the Sherwood Exclusive Kemer began with a direct flight from Glasgow to Antalya before an hour-long transfer from the airport. Advertisement We'd stayed in the town of Kemer in the past but this was definitely a step up in class. Located right on the beach in Goynuk — just outside Kemer — it had everything for a relaxing break for couples or families . 12 The hotel is smack-bang on the beach 12 No high rises here, buildings are two and three-storey max Advertisement 12 Sapcious and comfortable room just steps from inviting pool. The difference from the rest? What marked it down as truly Exclusive? Well, the design and layout of the gorgeous hotel is the first thing that struck my wife Fiona and I. It's not some high-rise city hotel with balconies in the clouds. Most read in Travel Breaking Exclusive The Sherwood Exclusive has an airy reception and lobby bar to greet you on arrival. Rooms are located in three-storey buildings dotted around luscious, green grounds. Advertisement Our accommodation was on the ground-floor, a swim-up room with plush sun loungers just outside the patio doors and a short step into the very inviting pool. I took my family to the new Nickelodeon Land in Turkey with rides and character meets - here's how to get free entry The pools are located all around the grounds, and are all equipped with pool bars for residents. The main pool is close to the hotel's seafront boardwalk and served by a huge pool bar. Espresso Martinis were the afternoon cocktail of choice here. Only once the sun was over the yardarm, you understand. The beach — 500 metres of sand and pebble for hotel residents only — is just a short walk away sitting in the shadow of the imposing Taurus Mountains.

Just you, your book and maybe a cocktail or two. Comfy sun loungers line the Sherwood Exclusive's private beach and, of course, all are served by a beach bar. Advertisement For the really adventurous, you can stride out to the hotel's own pier and — again — it has a bar over the water for those catching the rays. The weather was much better than we'd expected in late April. It was in the low 20s with just one spot of rain in the middle of our week-long stay. But having holidayed in the area in high summer in years gone by — both Kemer and Lara Beach — you're virtually guaranteed dawn to dusk blistering sunshine during June, July, August and September. Fiona's day would begin at 9am with yoga . Mine began with yoghurt. Normally accompanied by fresh fruit and granola. Advertisement Plus a little something from the hot buffet. Well, the friendly staff in the kitchen worked so hard that I didn't want to disappoint them. And here's another aspect of the place which backed up their EXCLUSIVE name. This was the BEST buffet we've experienced on our travels to Turkey. A huge selection, fresh fruit and salads, different and varied main course options and delicious sweet treats. But perhaps most importantly for Fiona — a Gluten-free diner — there were loads of options and everything was well marked with that crucial 'GF' seal of approval. Advertisement Buffet aside, there are four a la carte restaurants to satisfy every taste. The Waribashi Far East restaurant offers an Asian flavour, while the Mama Cocha caters for seafood lovers. But when in Kemer, we just had to try the Turquoise restaurant which offered local flavours from Turkish starter platters through delicious kebabs to the pastry, nut and honey sensation known as baklava. 12 Meze is he order of the day at the hotel's fabulous Turquoise Restaurant Advertisement 12 Dinner with a side of show at Fusions Restaurant 12 Make time for pampering at the hotel's spa We also dined at the Basilico Italian restaurant during our stay. The Chicken Parmigiana is to be recommended! And, once again, the Exclusive tag came to prominence at the Basilico when the chef specially cooked the Parmigiana to his own GF recipe for Fiona. Advertisement With the belt feeling tighter by the day, it seemed sensible to attempt some athletic pursuit during our Turkish travels. 12 Roger and Fiona enjoy a romantic meal at 12 Waribashi Restaurant had incredible dishes Yes, the on-site waterpark and splash park were great. And, in the interests of this feature, I felt compelled to have a go. Advertisement Let's just say those flumes were a little too racy for a 53-year-old with a bad back and a diminishing sense of adventure . . . Another bottle of Efes from the all-inclusive bar was required to calm my nerves. Medicinal purposes only, of course. All the kids around the hotel seemed to love the flumes, though, and the presence of ANOTHER eatery right next to the waterparks (serving delicious pizza, burgers and snacks) meant they never had to stray far from the excitement. Aside from the watery delights, there was everything available from tennis , aerobics, water-skiing, basketball , water aerobics and even darts. Advertisement The airy gym is also equipped with everything you need. But the pace of our break seemed far more suited to the Amon Spa, with its hammam and beauty treatments. Pack off your kids for face painting or other pursuits while you relax and get some well- deserved pampering. GO: TURKEY GO: SHERWOOD EXCLUSIVE KEMER GETTING/STAYING THERE : A week all-inclusive at the 5H Sherwood Exclusive Kemer is from £1,289pp leaving Glasgow on July 7 See MORE INFO: For all you need to know about the hotel and bookings see If retail therapy is your thing, though, you could either stroll into Goynuk's little shopping centre or head into Kemer. The bus stops right outside the Sherwood Exclusive and costs just £2 each way. While many head to Antalya for new hair or teeth (no, I didn't), there are also plenty who love the Turkish shopping scene for, er, 'designer gear'. Advertisement We were sent with a shopping list by our daughter, Katie. And, of course, everything we brought her back was authentic. But back to the real authentic and EXCLUSIVE element of this holiday. It's always the little touches which make your break special. Like wandering into the shade to the hotel's all-inclusive coffee shop, ice cream parlour or waffle house . Like the little calls from guest relations to make sure everything is to your liking. Advertisement Like the beachfront towel huts where you can grab the fluffiest, thickest towels for your spot on the pier. The Sherwood Exclusive was established just 11 years ago but already it's a jewel in the heart of Goynuk.

Just eating outside in the month of April was a special treat. It was marvellous, it was magnificent. You could even say it was EXCLUSIVE. Advertisement
