Sexy Seniors

As I prepare for a presentation I'll be giving later this summer at a local retirement community on Sexuality and Intimacy While Aging, I am reminded of how much I enjoy working with older adults.  This can be people 60, 70, or 80+ years old wanting to improve their sexual relationships.  Once we get the obvious age difference addressed (theirs vs. mine) and set aside, I find these clients to be authentic, energetic, eager, wonderfully humorous, and hopeful about their sexual futures (all good things to bring to the bedroom, I might add).  It doesn't come without its challenges, though, and as the saying goes, aging isn't for wimps.  Sexuality in later life can be one of the best parts of a couple's relationship, a safe harbor where they can fully feel and share their aliveness and love for each other in the face of uncertainty. It is a joy for me to work with these clients.

Now here's a humorous and endearing video that may stretch your understanding about sex and aging!
