Synopsis: A book addressing all aspects of sex in advanced age.
SHMD's Review:
In a category where is a plethora of books
dealing with the subject of sex in people over 50 it is pleasant
and very reassuring to find one that stands
head and shoulders above the rest.
Sex over 50 by Joel D. Block and Susan Craire Bakos is
one I recommend enthusiastically.
Reading this book helps to destroy the myth that people
over 50 are not as interested in sexual activity. It also destroys the old
myth that mere love alone or the penis alone would be sufficient to
transport a woman to sexual ecstasy.
Even though the majority of plus 50 people probably know
clitoral stimulation is necessary for most women to achieve orgasm, a key
ingredient in the definition of “Sex and Ecstasy” . Yet many men and women
may still harbor the belief one can be “too old for sex”.
Further reading of the book helps disprove other old
myths and old wives tales such as;
1)
Quality of sex declines for men and women as they age;
2)
If a women does not lubricate sufficiently or if a man doesn’t get
an erection immediately he or she are not aroused;
3)
Erection problems are inevitable and incurable without medical
intervention;
4)
Female desire declines dramatically following menopause;
5)
Once a man is no longer aroused by the mere sight of his wife he
will have great difficulty making love to her;
6)
Men peak when they are younger but a man can’t be ___ to peak until
he has become a good lover and has the ability to please his partner in many
different ways;
7)
Youthful orgasms are more intense, this not true;
8)
Men and women with heart or other problems should avoid sex
activity;
9)
Sex has to end in orgasm;
10)
Oral sex is for the very young and
11)
Intercourse is the only kind of sex that counts, anything else is
not sex.
Other very important aspects that are discussed
in simple clean language deal
with;
1)
Overcoming mental obstacles to great sex and
2)
Five steps for overcoming the obstacles
The very frank and candid discussion of
removing boredom from your life is worth the cost of the book alone.
Simply stated acknowledge your fear in
escalating order of importance. Beside each fear note what you are afraid
of losing;
1)
Eliminate guilt, a concept introduce by religion as it concerns
sex;
2)
Stop being so cautious;
3)
Push back your personal boundaries and
4)
Take risks
Another excellent section deals with tips for
creating a sexy mind set.
The most outstanding part of the book is that
each of the 15 chapters has a personal story of a couple who face a
problem, how they make the necessary adjustment to achieve a new and higher
level of sexual pleasure.
There is something of value for everyone who
takes the time to read
this extremely well written book. It’s well worth the time and effort.
