Book Description
Is it better than ever? Now that the children have grown and there's more time on your hands as a couple, are you finding that the love and intimacy has gone from your life? It is a fact that as we mature, our sexual drives mature as well, but it is also a fact that while you may slow down and your lovemaking may be different than it was in your youth, that doesn't mean that the quality has to be lower or your pleasure less. In this honest, yet light-hearted volume, replete with delightful stories and anecdotes that present a variety of tools and techniques to help us all develop the kind of openness we desire, Bernie Zilbergeld, well-known sex therapist and author of the widely quoted, "The New Male Sexuality," draws on his many years of clinical and life experience. He explains why we should be enjoying our lovemaking and our intimacy even more than ever and certainly better than ever. Although it's true you are probably going to get to know your doctor much better as you grow older, and probably your pharmacist as well, Dr. Zilbergeld shows how all of us can choose whether we are either going to be "Lovers" in our life or "Non-Lovers." Meticulously researched, based on 145 interviews with men and women ages 45 to 87, Dr. Zilbergeld presents evidence that a good number of men and women are having great sex in both their long- and short-term relationships. He shows you how you can learn from the "Lovers" who are the relationship experts among us. Read this book and you will go away knowing that your love life and your intimate relationships can be just as strong today as 10, 20, or even 30 years ago. You will learn about: -The myths and realities about sex and aging -Normal physical changes in men and women -Lovers and Non-Lovers --where do you fit in? -Problem-solving and what's health got to do with it? -Medications and their uses -How to talk sexy--at any age Don't just complain about your love life, get started today to make it better than ever!

Book Description
Blazingly intelligent, wickedly funny, and piercingly honest, a memoir that captures the perils and pleasures of girlhood, womanhood, and life itself. “One of my favorite books of the last few years.” —Cheryl Strayed “Sentence for sentence, a more pleasure-yielding midlife memoir is hard to think of.” —The Atlantic At mid-life, Claire Dederer developed a sudden yearning for jailbreak. In this exuberant memoir, she reflects on two periods in her life uncannily similar in their emotional intensity: her present experience as a middle-aged mom in the grip of unruly and mysterious new hungers, and her recollections of herself as a teenager.

Book Description
A seasoned woman is spicy. She has been marinated in life experience. . . . She can be alternately sweet, tart, bubbly, mellow. She can be maternal and playful. Bossy and submissive. Strong and soft. . . . The seasoned woman knows who she is. She could be any one of us, as long as she is committed to living fully and passionately in the second half of life. In her most groundbreaking work since Passages and The Silent Passage, bestselling author Gail Sheehy reveals a hidden cultural phenomenon–increased vitality in women’s sex and love lives after fifty. Sex and the Seasoned Woman is the story of an intimate revolution taking place under our very noses. Boomer generation women in midlife are open to sex, love, dating, new dreams, exploring spirituality, and revitalizing their marriages as never before. This is a new universe of passionate, liberated women–married and single–who are unwilling to settle for the stereotypical roles of middle age and are now realizing they don’t have to. As life spans grow longer and as societal constraints continue to loosen, older women–once free of the exhausting demands of young children, needy husbands, and demanding careers–find themselves ready to pursue the passionate life. They embrace their “second adulthood” as a period of reawakening. Written in Sheehy’s singularly compelling style, combining interviews and research, this book gives voice to more than a hundred fascinating and colorful women. The inspiring stories tell of wives who reinvigorate their marriages after their children leave the nest as well as divorced, widowed, and long-single women who find new dreams and new loves. Sheehy delineates a crucial link between cultivating a new dream and reopening the pathway to intimacy and sexual pleasure. She also examines the latest medical breakthroughs addressing symptoms that have unnecessarily curtailed women’s sex lives. From women who find their sexuality reawakened by a younger lover, to couples whose marriages survive health crises and grow stronger, to women who finally find a soulmate in their sixties, to stories from seasoned sirens in their seventies, eighties, and even nineties, these portraits cover an enormous range of experience. In them, Sheehy locates the universal patterns that enable us all to recognize and understand our own lives.

Book Description
How do you fall back in love? This was the underlying problem of one in four couples seeking help from relationship therapist Andrew G. Marshall. They described their problem as: 'I love you but I'm not in love with you'. Noticing how widespread the phenomenon had become, he decided to look more closely. Why were these relationships becoming defined more by companionship than by passion, and why was companionship no longer enough? From his research Andrew has devised his own unique programme. By looking at how a couple communicate, argue, share love, take responsibility, give and learn he offers in seven steps a reassuring and empowering map for how two individuals can better understand themselves, strengthen their bond and recover that lost magic.
