When couples struggle with intimacy as their bodies age

My partner and I are both in our sixties and our bodies have changed so much that sex feels like navigating a minefield — we both want intimacy but we're each secretly afraid of disappointing the other. Neither of us knows how to talk about what we actually need now without it feeling like admitting defeat.
