Understanding this quote
The speaker describes an older woman whose visible signs of aging have not reduced her licentiousness, meaning her sexually unrestrained behavior. The repeated “although” sets her age and grey hair against the claim that this behavior “still does not diminish.” The wording is judgmental, presenting continued sexual desire or conduct as surprising or improper because of her age.
