'I'm 78 And Have Been Polyamorous For 18 Years, I've Never Looked Back'

Stella Ralfini

While we may consider open relationships and polyamory to be something that’s often confined to younger generations, lust knows no age limit and this week, we spoke with Stella Ralfini – a 78 year old Reiki practitioner who left a monogamous lifestyle behind 18 years ago. 

“By the time I reached 60 I’d had 3 long term live-in relationships.

“By the end of our time together, we were more like friends than lovers. I missed the intimacy and [wasn’t] bothered about how long a relationship would last.
