While most people's sex lives slow down when they reach old age, one 83-year-old grandmother claims she's having 'the best' sex of her life.
Iris Jones, 83, a retired cleaner from Weston-super-Mare, is very proud of her toyboy, Mohamed Ahmed Ibriham, 37, and the pair recently opened up about their wild sex life as they celebrate their third anniversary.
The pair met on Facebook back in 2019, and it wasn't long before sparks between to fly, despite their 46-year age-gap and the fact that Mohamed was living in Cairo, Egypt at the time.

Even Iris admits that she wasn't sure if he was a scammer when he admitted he had feelings for her and proposed without meeting, but once they began video calling, she knew he was the real deal.
The couple married in 2020 and went on to hit the headlines when Iris appeared on This Morning to discuss their relationship, revealing that he left her feeling like a 'virgin' after a 35-year dry spell.
"Nobody's been near me for 35 years, I felt like a virgin again. We used a whole tube of KY jelly," she said.
She admitted that she couldn't walk the next day, something that left Willoughby in stitches.
She said: "It felt as if I'd been riding a horse."
Now, Iris has revealed to Closer magazine in a recent interview that the sex with her now-husband is so good, she thinks it's the 'best' she has ever had, despite being 83.
As reported by the Mirror, she said: "I didn't expect to be having the best sex of my life at 83 but I'm certainly not complaining.
"Mohamed keeps me young - especially beneath the sheets."
However, while Iris and Mohamed are delighted with their sex life, it's not been plain sailing with age-gap, and she shared a fact that floored This Morning hosts Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby.
Iris admits that she her skin is 'very thin' and therefore Mohamed has to be careful not to grab her too hard incase he rips it while having sex.
"My skin is very thin - it's like tissue," she said.
"Mohamed's got to be careful when he grabs hold of me. He rips my skin, the skin on my legs is very, very thin.
"When it comes to making love it can be painful. I could end up at the A&E with skin rips but we've solved that problem because we sometimes do it doggy fashion."
Iris's family, understandably, had reservations about her dating a much younger man, fearing that he wanted the grandmother's money when they met on Facebook.
Iris's son Stephen Jones, 53, said that he didn't take it seriously when she said she was talking to an Egyptian man on Facebook.
He told the Sun Online three years ago: "She revealed that she’d been talking to this guy in Egypt. I didn't know his age and didn't really think too much of it.
"Then one day, she came out and said 'I'm falling for this guy'."
"When I found out his age it caused a lot of friction. My brother didn’t accept it, I was dubious about it because of the age difference.
"Darren took it worse than me. He didn't want anything to do with it."
However, Iris has said that husband isn't after money or a British passport and insists it's the real deal.
