The beautifully shot campaign features photographs of five older couples and one woman to tackle the stigma around talking about sex and intimacy after a certain age.
Research supporting the campaign revealed only a fifth of people in the UK think society is comfortable talking about the sex lives of people over 60, and fewer than 10 percent of over-65s think society is OK with it.
Rankin’s involvement was pro-bono and the models were photographed in a comfortable and collaborative closed set environment, with an intimacy coach working closely with them.
