Love and Sex After Forty: A Guide for Men and Women for Their Mid and Later Years - Hardcover

With the increase in life expectancy there is an interest in what happens to sexuality in the later yearsphysically, psychologically, and socially. Butler, who chairs the geriatics department at Mt. Sinai Medical Center in New York, and Lewis, a psychotherapist, are convinced that "sexual desires, pleasure, and performance can grow and thrive throughout a lifetime." They intelligently explain physical changes in both men and women, and discuss impotence, menopause, and how to develop ways of expressing sexual feelings when partners are disabled or institutionalized. This book expands on the authors' 1976 Sex After Sixty. A glossary and reading list are included; references to self-help groups appear in the text. Recommended.
