Love Quote by Jerry Hall

"A healthy love life is not and should not be the preserve of those in their 20s and 30s. It's important at all ages"

About this Quote

Jerry Hall’s line lands like a velvet-gloved rebuke to a culture that sells desire as a limited-time offer. Coming from a model - someone whose public value has historically been tethered to youth, visibility, and male approval - it’s not just aspirational. It’s a small act of refusal. The intent is plain: reclaim romance and sex from the age brackets advertising and entertainment treat as “peak.” The subtext is sharper: the real scarcity isn’t libido, it’s permission.

Hall is pushing against two overlapping scripts. One is the ageism that turns women into before-and-after photos, with “after” coded as invisibility. The other is the polite lie that older people should “move on” from erotic life into gentler, more acceptable forms of companionship. By insisting a “healthy love life” matters “at all ages,” she reframes intimacy as a wellbeing issue, not a vanity project. “Healthy” does a lot of work here: it signals consent, mutuality, and self-respect, while dodging the prurient gaze that often greets older sexuality.

Context matters: Hall’s career sits inside a machine that fetishizes the new and discards the aging. For her to advocate longevity of desire reads as insider testimony, not abstract empowerment. It also quietly broadens the conversation beyond sex as performance. Love life, in her framing, is a right to pleasure, touch, and connection that doesn’t expire when the industry stops calling.
