Than I Ever Expected: Straight Talk about Sex After Sixty Introduction If I were asked for the major messages of this book, I'd shout out:
There are plenty of books and magazine articles filled with doom and gloom about midlife and older sexuality, how our tissues wither along with our libidos, and we might as well give it up. This isn't my book. This book is more than a guide to how to have great sex after sixty—it's intensely personal, straight talk from my own experience and from a bevy of lusty women over sixty who aren't afraid to tell, along with a smattering of self-help tips from experts. Most books about sex and older women are either academic or exclusively self-help. While we Boomers and beyond do want self-help, we are hungry for voices of women's shared experiences. This book is warm, friendly, light-hearted, down-to-earth, often graphic, and honest. I'm known up as a fitness professional and health/fitness writer. I'm proud of the fitness books I've written, and just because I'm now writng about a new topic, it's not that I believe any less in the importance of exercise. (Notice how I sneak in a chapter on that theme in this book.) But it's time—at age sixty-one—to expand my repertoire and dive into the subject that interests me the most at this stage of my life: ageless sexuality. Bodies beyond boundaries. From the reactions of the women I interviewed, we're eager to talk, and we're eager to learn from each other. "I'm writing the book I'd love to read," I tell my friends. Now, in my sixties, I have the great joy of writing a book on my favorite topic of all time, and in the woman-to-woman-friendly style that I enjoy. May you join me in affirming and celebrating the joy in our sensual lives!
