Joan Price is talking out loud about a subject that is often ignored or ridiculed in our society: later-life sex.

In Naked at Our Age, she offers a candid, straight-talking exploration of senior sex in all its colors-the challenges, the disappointments, and the surprises, as well as the delights of love and passion. In this book, real people over fifty-women and men, coupled and single, straight and gay-talk candidly about how their sex lives and relationships have changed with age. No topic related to older sexuality is off-limits. Some are having unsatisfying sex, or no sex at all, and are looking for answers. Price presents their compelling personal stories, followed by wise advice from sex therapists, health professionals, counselors, and sex educators.

Naked at Our Age is an entertaining and indispensable guide to the issues of senior sex and relationships. This new edition of the classic, award-winning book includes a new foreword from the author and new tips from experts.
