Naked at Our Age: Talking out Loud about Senior Sex
Davis, Melanie
American Journal of Sexuality Education, v7 n2 p176-180 2012
"Naked at Our Age" is an excellent resource for sexually interested and/or active adults over the age of 60. The book combines the author's personal reflections, questions and stories shared by older adults, and advice from sex therapists, sexuality educators, the author, and health care providers. The breadth of topics makes the book useful to men and women, particularly those interested in partnered sex, whether with a long-term mate or new partner. Weaknesses include the emphasis on information for those who are or want to be partnered sexually, the limited attention to chronic illness and other physical limitations other than cancer, and the lack of some basic information. These are small complaints compared to the overall high quality of the information in the book. "Naked at Our Age" is compassionately and well written, and it offers carefully researched information and advice. The book is recommended for older adults and for the professionals who work with them.
