Rod Stewart admits he still loves sex at 73 but prefers a kiss and cuddle with wife Penny Lancaster
ROD Stewart enjoys sex at 73 but prefers a good kiss and a cuddle with his wife Penny Lancaster.
The Do You Think I'm Sexy? singer admits he hasn't given up on romance beneath the sheets - but says he isn't as frisky as he once was.
The star told : "Well, I need a bit of a start on the handle now, that’s for sure. Like a vintage car.
"You know, I love sex with my wife but I love just giving her a hug before we go to bed.
"Every night we have a kiss and a hug and that doesn’t always lead to sex but it’s still lovely."
Rod was married twice before he wed Penny and dated many of the world's most beautiful women, including Swedish actress Britt Ekland.
Rod and Penny have two sons together
He confessed he didn't always end his romances on good terms and said: "It’s true.
"I just didn’t have the b*******. I didn’t want the confrontation.
"It was a different era but that’s no excuse really. I can be accused of being cowardly, and rightly.
Asked if he'd apologised to his exes, Rod added: "A few of them, when I bump into them, yes.
"Especially my daughter Ruby’s mum [American model Kelly Emberg], who’s an absolute diamond."
Last year Penny revealed on chat show Loose Women that she gave Rod an ultimatum about his bad boy ways when they first started dating.
The Essex native told the music legend she wouldn't see him unless he only dated her and no one else.

She said: "What charmed me about Rod was not only that he is a multi-faceted character where he is the cheeky chappy or naughty schoolboy but he also has this steely side to him.
"He works out regularly, he's very strong so I find him very sexy. But when I first met him, he was still playing games because he'd just recently come out of his marriage and he was having fun because he didn't think he wanted to settle down.
"So when I became a girlfriend of his, I didn't want to be 'a girlfriend', I wanted to be THE girlfriend or else it wasn't good enough for me."
