Joan Price's Naked at Our Age

Naked At Our Age

By Joan Price

If you are interested in immersing yourself in a book, both eloquently written and with unprecedented insight, Naked at our Age (Seal Press) is for you. Seniors’ Advocate, Joan Price conveys a message of reverent optimism towards sex and sexuality for older adults and seniors. The book explores a variety of subjects such as, chapters on communication, masturbation, sexual exploration and toys, chronic illness and sexuality, grieving and sexuality, dementia and how to deal with sex, and safer sex, Naked at our Age, is the bible of sex for seniors.

Throughout the book, first hand stories of men and women and their experiences with sex and sexuality, offers both positive and negative accounts of being older and maintaining a healthy sexuality and a nurturing sex life. Brutal honesty makes these stories relatable and many times, inspiring. Stories of perseverance, struggle, loss of self that can accompany aging, create a rhetoric that, even at my age, is poignant and brilliant. Price has well researched the varying aspects of senior sexuality and in this, has created a book with uplifting and realistic truths as to what occurs as we age. With informative excerpts from acclaimed senior sexuality experts, Naked at our Age, offers practical advice and relevant commentary on aging and sexuality

One expert noted in the book is SageHealth Network, Executive director, Michele Cauch. Cauch discusses the importance of safer sex, communication, and being responsible.

Joan Price is a life saver for those of us out there who perhaps feel that being older means all aspects of sexuality and sex are gone or lost. This book is a must read for older adults, seniors, caregivers and students in the field of healthcare and aging. It will quite honestly, change how you feel about yourself and ultimately, about your sexual relationship, whether with someone new or your long term partner.
