Love and Sex

About the Book

Our parents and grandparents do have sex! There, I’ve said it! Love and Sex: Are we ever too old?!? is an opportunity to revisit the idea that the need for love and sex regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation or marital status is normal and natural. The book is a collage of photos of older couples, cartoons, selected poetry about sexuality and couplehood as well as reviews of books and films that have celebrated late-life love and sexuality. The book is an original way to teach adult children, grandchildren and the current cohorts of aging individuals to understand and accept the sexuality of maturing adults. In so doing, they can help transform the meaning of love and sexuality up to the very limits of life itself.
