Lisa Rinnaunderstands that one’s sexuality evolves with time — and it’s something that has impacted her marriage toHarry Hamlinas well.
As part of her “Sex After 60” cover story withCosmopolitan,The Real Housewives of Beverly Hillsalum opened up about howher sex life with Hamlinhas shifted over the years.
“I mean, luckily not capabilities. I think that’s lucky for him, because at 72, who knows?" the actress, 60, said. “I do think that desire levels change for a man. That’s just the natural evolution of life. So it’s figuring out how to coexist without taking that personally as a woman.”
Rinna continued, “I think that it’s almost more about companionship and about creating space for the ebb and flow of sexuality. We really have great sex together, and we always have. It’s just that maybe it doesn’t happen quite as often as it did when you’re in your 30s and in your 20s, I would say. And I think that’s normal.”

“You have to create that,” she added. “And we have really been very diligent about doing that over the last 25 years.”
To the outsider looking in, Rinna appears to be very comfortable and at peace with her sexuality. She oftenflaunts her figure in risqué social media posts, garnering praise from fans and friends alike. But she, admittedly, wasn’t always so confident in this department.

“I have not always been this in touch with my sexuality at all. I grew up very repressed, like everybody did in the ’60s,” she explained to the outlet. “It just wasn’t something that nice girls did or talked about or flaunted, especially not in Medford, Oregon, where I was raised.”
“You’re just a good girl, and you don’t say how you feel; you just try to be quiet. You can see how well that went for me,” she continued. “I rebelled, certainly after a while. But I toed the line really well for a very long time, even when I first met Harry.”
Praising her longtime spouse, Rinna added: “Harry is so accepting of who I am and always has been, and so I’ve grown into that. He’s been a supportive partner this whole time, 31 years later.”
