Can I have a normal sexual relationship as a senior citizen?

I am an inexperienced 66 year old female. Iam receiving pelvic floor therapy for health issues and this has awakened sexual urges I thought I had lost due to many years as a nun and lack of opportunities for finding partner. I can reach orgasms using a clitoral pump and do this every morning and sometimes evenings. Finding my feminine sexuality had given me self confidence (I discovered I am normal). But now I feel that I have lost years of fulfillment. Does my sexuality tend to attract or detract potential partners? I am glad my "ladyparts" work, but will this awareness be a help or a hindrance? Years of poor body image didn't help.

Body image, you can work on, and it might solve the other issue as well, since exercise gives people an upbeat attitude and something fun to do.  Get to a gym, dance club or exercise class, and just keep an open mind.  You might meet some men or some nice women who introduce you to their brothers, co-workers or even their ex's. :)  If you are still in the church, go to a physical activity group through your church.  I assume you are saying your desired partner is male?  I'll warn that your male peers (age-wise) who are single are often on the hunt for a woman about a decade younger than themselves (or even younger than that if they are rich).  But if you just want to meet a nice guy, you'll probably be able to.  And if you're open to dating guys a decade older than yourself, you will look good to them. :)  76 is not decrepit these days, some guys really take care of themselves, and you could attract attention if you're cheerful, active and enjoying your newfound frisky take on life.
