Confronting taboos and misunderstandings about sexuality and aging,
Couple Sexuality After 60: Intimate, Pleasurable, and Satisfying
motivates couples to embrace sex and sexuality in their 60s, 70s, and
80s. The book busts two extreme myths—that people over 60 cannot and
should not be sexual and that the best way to be sexual is to
emphasize eroticism, using sex toys, and "kinky sex". Using a
variable, flexible approach to couple sexuality based on the Good
Enough Sex (GES) model, this book places the essence of sexuality in
pleasure-oriented touching, not individual sex performance. Barry and
Emily McCarthy introduce a new sexual mantra of
"desire/pleasure/eroticism/satisfaction" with the goal of presenting a
healthy model of sexuality to replace the traditional double standard
that couples learn in young adulthood. Specific chapters focus on
important areas like coming to terms with the new normal,
female–male sexual equity, satisfaction being about more than
intercourse and orgasm, valuing synchronous and asynchronous
sexuality, psychobiosocial approaches to sexuality, and more. In
addition to aging heterosexual couples, single individuals and queer
couples will find this book interesting. Additionally, sexual health
clinicians and sex therapists with clients over the age of 60 will
find this a fascinating read.
