Sexy Sixties - How to Enjoy Love and Intimacy in Your Sixties (Paperback)

Well, the secret is out. The New England Journal of Medicine recently published a report breaking the news: A healthy sex life is not only possible, but quite commonplace, well into the golden years. Retiring from your job doesn’t necessarily mean retiring from an active love life. The survey, performed in 2007, revealed that, of those ages fifty-seven to seventy-five, well over half had had sex at least once within the previous year. Older people tend to enjoy and desire sex just as much as younger people, and it’s time to put the zany old preconceptions claiming otherwise to rest.

A healthy sex life is an important part of just about any rewarding lifestyle. Maintaining a healthy sex life past the age of sixty may seem like an uphill battle, and certainly, society unfairly places some stumbling blocks in the way, but to give up on such an important part of what it means to be human is, to be quite frank, just plain silly. If nothing else, a healthy sex life is a declaration that you’re not nearly finished yet, that some of your best years are still ahead of you, and that you won’t be content to simply sit around for the rest of your life waiting to kick the bucket.
