"Sex over 50" by Joel D. Block

Paper Summary:

The paper notes the way the author encourages his readers to improve their sex lives while pointing out the various obstacles they may still encounter. It also mentions the necessary health issues that need to be explored along the way as well as stressing the importance of sex to a good relationship. The paper argues that despite the author's claims, certain myths contain more than a grain of truth.

From the Paper:

"Block therefore offers many suggestions for how people over fifty can improve their sex lives. He first tells them how to overcome these myths, but he then continues by showing how they can change their way of thinking so they are not bound by limitations in attitudes toward age. He writes about a number of sexual techniques that make this book as much a sex manual as it is a discussion of sexual attitudes. These chapters are meant to change altitudes, but they are also intended to offer assistance and advice to people the author clearly believes need assistance. He is convinced that older people not only have the wrong attitude toward sex but that they may have a lot of wrong information that they have been applying so that their sex lives have not been that good up to this time. It would thus not be surprising if their sex lives were not very exciting when they get older."
