- Katey Sagal reveals she’s still a “very sexual” person at age 72.

- The legendary actress admitted to thinking sex would be “a distant memory” at this age.

- Sagal has been married to Kurt Sutter since 2004.

Katey Sagal is not bashful when it comes to talking about sex.

“What should I know about you?” Ted Danson asked the actress on the *Where Everybody Knows Your Name** *podcast on Aug. 5. Sagal didn’t hold back with her reply, getting Danson a little flustered.

“I’m very sexual, Ted,” the 72-year-old *Sons of Anarchy** *alum responded with a laugh. “I’m at this age of my life and still into it.”

Danson was rubbing his head when replying, “I’m f---ed. Okay.”

The legendary actor admitted that he’s the “exact opposite” at age 78, although he did clarify that he’s still “madly in love” with wife Mary Steenburgen, whom he’s been married to for 32 years.

“Me talking about how I would be out in the world is like a distant, bad memory kind of thing,” Danson said. “But growing up, the girl would have to be naked, standing in front of me and I would still be going, ‘Who? Me? ... It sucks.”

Sagal told Danson that is “so sweet” of him. He disagreed, explaining, “When you say. ‘I’m very sexual,’ I’m starting to sweat.”

Sagal has been married to writer-director Kurt Sutter since 2004. The *Married... With Children* star said during Wednesday’s podcast episode that he’s still “super hot” but would never think that about himself.

“That’s what makes him so great, I think,” Sagal explained. “I don’t like dudes that think they’re so hot.”

When Sagal and Sutter first started dating, the *Sons of Anarchy *creator told her that he’s “half a girl” — meaning that he was in touch with his feminine side.

Sagal explained to Danson why she’s so open about sex in her 70s.

“I think what’s important about saying that, and I say that somewhat facetiously, but it is true,” she started. “I think that when I was growing up, I thought that by the time I’d get to this age of my life ... that [sex] would be a distant memory, and it’s not that.”

Sagal continued, “I think that the more that’s spoken about, I think that’s a good thing.”

The topic of sex came up because Sagal and Danson are currently in production on an upcoming comedy for Apple TV in which they play love interests.

“I think the fact that we’re doing a show where you’re going to see people in their 70s having sex — not literally but not far from the truth — I think it’s very affirming,” Sagal continued. “I think that it’s a good thing.”
