👙Lingerie at 55: Why I Said Yes to a Boudoir Shoot. Sex'n'fries Podcast Episode 21

I knew I could do it, well, I know now!

Season 2 Episode 4: Holy crap I did a photo shoot!

Is That Really Me?

So, there I was — 55, standing in front of a camera, wearing lingerie I hadn’t touched in years.

Was it crazy? Absolutely not. Was it terrifying? Oh, yes. But also… exhilarating, empowering, and honestly, life-affirming.

Sharing my photos with a few people, I realized: this experience wasn’t just about pictures. It was about reclaiming my body, my confidence, and my joy.

The Inner Dialogue

Let’s be real: self-doubt showed up like an uninvited guest. Thoughts like:

• “You’re too old for this.”

• “Nobody will appreciate it.”

• “Why would you do this now?”

They tried to run the show. But I didn’t let them. I dove in anyway, trusting a skilled photographer and the process — and it paid off.

The moment I let go, the magic began. Posing, laughing, adjusting, feeling sexy in ways I didn’t think were possible at this age — it was transformative.

Why You Might Consider It

Boudoir can:

• Rebuild self-image and confidence

• Celebrate your body at any age

• Give you a tangible reminder of your strength and sensuality

• Provide fun, laughter, and empowerment in one session

It’s not about impressing anyone else — it’s about you feeling good in your skin.

Final Fry Thought 🍟

Getting into lingerie at 55? Not crazy. Bold. Brave. Brilliant.

If self-doubt knocks, answer anyway. If fear whispers, lean in. Trust the process. The reward is not just the photos — it’s the self-love you uncover along the way.
