Sex after 50: Fact or Fiction? Changing Beliefs about Aging and Intimacy

The 50+ generation is healthier than ever and wants to stay active in every respect - including sexually. They may find that the most important obstacle to deal with is the opinion of people around them, that society’s view on the sexuality of women and men beyond their family building years is permeated by myths and taboos. Culture is hard to change, but a good start is to know what’s going on and why. This book sheds light on the cultural and religious factors impacting on the sex life of the older generation. It also addresses the hormonal and physical changes that may come with aging and gives advice about how to handle them and maintain a good and satisfying sex life.

This book discusses both biological and cultural issues affecting the sexuality of the older generation. It includes open-hearted contributions from men and women between 55 and 80, describing their own intimate life. The author is Dr. Ditte Trolle, born 1950 in Sweden, now living and working in Denmark. She is an MD and a specialist in gynecology and obstetrics.
