When the kids, the career, the assets are all settled and taking care of themselves. It's 'ME' time ... time to look after who you are, the YOU who's been buried year after year while you've been nurturing others. Bringing Intimacy Back into your life is so much more intense, penetrating and passionate than sex alone. Sex is about the mechanical side of lovemaking, often without intimacy, so it can never be as totally satisfying. I have researched into the development of Baby Boomers and recorded their case studies... with their blessings I wrote their stories, some of them are intense for lack of a better word and some are funny but above all, they are REAL I am sure you will relate to them.

OK, so why have I written Sex for the Third Age? I have written this book for my audience, YOU! Men and Women in their Third Age wanting to bring intimacies back into their lives. Something we tend to forget as we grow older You see, in my late 40's, when I'd reached an age where my daughters had moved out of home, I was still sexual, athletic, fit, and on fire. My body was demanding the touch, the intimacy, the feel of a man. But when we got down to serious business... the lights were low and our clothes were off, things went downhill. Sex is physical, sensual, emotional, but mostly intellectual. Few of the men I dated ticked all 4 senses. The sex was there, but not the intimacy, not the emotions that would have made the sex completely satisfying. I refused to settle for second best, and neither should you! When there is no sensuality, no touching or fondling or talking or laughing and sex becomes the old 'wham bang, thank you ma'am' attitude sooner or later resentment will find its place in that relationship. I have a normal sexual needs and desires. But after years of general sensual dissatisfaction, I began to question myself, and truly wonder whether or not it was me who was at fault: Was I too intimidating? Was I off-putting? Were my expectations too high? Did that make me above normal? or simply them less fit? I wanted to find a man with more sensual-sexual powers than me, but as I grew older, my quest failed. I became introspective, I questioned my motivations and myself, I realised that it was the men in my life who were inadequate. So I set off to discover what is the common thread in all of the men whom I had dated, I took it upon myself to sign up to numerous websites and "research-date" I wanted to find out more about this unspoken issue. My discovery was that I was not alone. Many women confess they are happy to oblige and 'pretend they were enjoying it as much as their partners' and simply buried their needs and desires... And that's why I've written my book, Sex for the Third Age. Because what I discovered was wrong amongst lovers, close friends and clients of mine was a virus well spread throughout a large percentage of Baby Boomers, and I am talking about the 75 million+ of us living on this beautiful Earth!
