Actress and activist Jane Fonda has discovered that "giving back" to others has helped her in bedroom - because generosity has made her a better lover.
The 73-year-old Monster-in-Law star has just released a new book about the pleasures of getting old and, in researching it, she learned that women who reach out to others have great sex lives.
During a recent interview with U.S. TV host Charlie Rose, which aired on Tuesday (16Aug11), she says, "(You should pay) attention to the younger generations as a mentor, as a coach... When you have that in you as an older person, you tend to be happier.
"Interestingly enough, the research shows that women who exhibit... generativity tend to have more orgasms."
