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

by Ditte Trolle (Author)

The 50+ generation is healthier than ever and wants to go on living an active life in every respect. But as the body gets older, there may be physical changes making it difficult to maintain a good and satisfying sex life. With aging, you may also have to face disease in yourself or your partner. What can you do to help yourself meet those challenges? Apart from the biological hurdles, there are also cultural matters affecting the sexuality of women and men over 50. Those may stop you from seeking help if you need it. When you are receiving treatment for a medical condition, they may also stop medical staff from informing you about and discussing how the treatment may affect your 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.
