Welcome
to SeniorSex.org, your older adult sexuality reference. The
goal of this site is to help inform you about aging and sexuality,
to let you have a little bit of fun, and to make other resources
on sex and aging readily available to you.
Aging is a natural part of life, and it happens to us constantly
regardless of whether we are "young" or "old".
So while some of our sex tips
may not currently apply to our younger readers, they should
remember that their attitudes about aging can have a very
big impact on the rest of their life. Many of our attitudes
about aging, along with most other attitudes, are greatly
affected by society's influence. Unfortunately, society's
influence on older adult sexuality is a negative one [2].
This negative influence is the main force behind the development
of negative myths regarding sex and aging. Check out our Myth
vs. Fact page to find out how utterly wrong these myths
are. The truth is that older adults most often have very satisfying
sex lives despite any physiological
changes [1]!
Feel
free to take advantage of the interactive areas of this website.
The online crossword is
a lot of fun and can help gauge your knowledge of older adult
sexuality. And the online attitude
inventory can test how healthy your attitudes about sex
and aging really are.
When you are done checking out SeniorSex.org, take some time
to explore some of our external
links, or to read some reviews of books
about sex and aging. If you don't find what you're looking
for online, try contacting one of the organizations
listed that may end up being helpful to you.
