Perhaps you’ve heard of Cougars, women who like younger men, but what about all us baby booming Tigers out there who plan on refining our sexual prowess for the rest of our lives? I have been teaching sexuality seminars around the world for over twenty years. A while back, a man in his 70’s asked me if I would teach a workshop for seniors but at the time I was busy with other things. Now I am getting AARP mailings as well as more requests to teach about sexuality and aging.
To tell the truth, I didn’t feel qualified when I was in my 40’s, but now 10 years later, I know a lot more about how our sexual feelings change as we age. For one thing, I know that my desire for intimacy and sex is as strong as it was when I was younger. In fact, although I am far more mellow (and proud of it) making love now is more important than ever.
There’s tons of research proving that touch and sex keeps us younger, but a lot of us already know this in our bones: it’s obvious. The question is, what do we need to do differently? What needs to change in our sex life as we age?
What I realized is that the practices I have been teaching for twenty years are fabulous for sexy adults of any age and I’d like to present some practical, interesting and meaningful things you can do to age gracefully and enjoy sex at every age.
I am planning the next fifty years of my life to be as juicy as the last fifty and I hope you will join me with your thoughts, comments and questions.
I welcome your questions as we explore the issue of sex and aging in the coming weeks. The most interesting comment will get a free copy of our double CD Erotic Touch for Two. If you want to sponsor a workshop for sexy tigers of any age please let us know.
