In Sex After Sixty, Marie de Hennezel addresses the most taboo of subjects: the sexuality of seniors. Employing an equal measure of modesty and irreverence, she probes the mystery and depth of the enjoyment of physical love at a later stage of life. Through interviews, lectures, and her own analysis - including forays into areas such as tantric sex - she invites the reader on a journey to the heart of this unrecognised territory. It turns out that emotional intimacy plays a huge role in maintaining a sex life as you age. The quality of a relationship obviously matters a lot in being able to take your time, trust your partner, and explore a sexuality that's more sensual and more playful than that of earlier years.
