An 83-year-old cougar left This Morning viewers stunned today as she discussed her very active sex life.
Hattie Retroage, from New York, revealed she has casual sex with younger men and doesn’t mind being called a “dirty old git”.
Hattie told hosts Eamonn Holmes and Ruth Langsford that she changed her outlook on life during a trip to a steam room when she was younger.

She explained: “I was a little kid and my mother took me to a steam room in Brooklyn and I saw all these old ladies and I was looking up at them and said, ‘oh my god if that’s old people I don’t want to ever be old.’
“When I knew that I would become old, I’m going to do something about it. I’m not going to look like one of those steam room ladies.”
The former dancer divorced her ex-husband in 1984 and since then has enjoyed going on dates with younger men.
Hattie revealed she has sex three times a week and is always on dating apps.
Speaking about her previous marriage, Hattie told the hosts: “I was married for 25 years and we had wonderful sex, we were in love with each other, we had a family and a dancing school.
“But when the children went off to college the entire dynamic changed.”
She continued: “I just thought I would go out into the world and meet another man and have great sex for the rest of my life.
“But I didn’t meet one man. I’d meet somebody, go out with them, sleep with them and then they were gone. But it got me depressed.
“So I decided I’m going to date like a man meaning I would date several men. If one of them along the way says, ‘Hattie, I want to be with you’, then that would be the greatest thing I could hear.”
Speaking about her dates and intimate experiences with the men, Hattie said: “I have found that every man with whom I have slept with to be interesting, engaging and sexually satisfying.
“I’ve never had a bad experience. Part of the reason is my integrity. I have never had an affair, I’ve never messed with a married man, I practice safe sex and I’m kind.
“And young men want to satisfy an older woman.”
Hattie also revealed she’s “created a new word” called “heart-ectomy”.
She said: “I created a new word called a heart-ectomy. And that is seperating my heart from my privates. What do you think of that?”
Eamonn immediately screwed up his face leaving viewers amused.
Viewers shared their thoughts on the segment, with many branding her “awesome” and “inspiring”.
One person said: “What a lovely lady! Wish I had half her confidence. Her zest for life is inspiring.”
