This book is, in a word, comprehensive and it's a great resource for everyone no matter what your age.
This book allows for a frank discussion about sex, with ways to normalise the conversation, tips for approaching an open discussion with a partner and suggestions about different things that can impact your libido. This is an interesting, honest and open resource that can help you become more confident about your sex life at whatever age while also addressing issues, or potential hurdles that affect you as you get older, and aren't always included in discussions about sex through other outlets. This book is set out very clearly in chapters with headings acting as bullet point (for example the solutions for age-related sex problems) before then going into more detail about the suggestion to help you understand how, for example, getting more sleep will help to boost your libido. Most of the discussions about sex are usually from a "feminist" or "what women should feel comfortable asking for" perspective.... Read Full Review
Well what a great start to 2020 the 70s Joy of Sex for today and for the 50s and over.
Just how many of us think that sex will never be as great now as when we were younger - the fear we are not good enough now in our older bodies, but wow 50 is a great age and why not? This is apt for 60 onwards too. We have more life skills and although pre and post-menopausal we can still have great (or greater sex).
The chapter getting ready for the ride of your life I thought wow not past it and what a great trip into the 20s.
The author has researched the subject well, using real-life case studies and empowering us to realise that the sex we had when we were younger was different.... Read Full Review
This is an important book that everyone over 50, whether in a relationship or not, should read.
'Great Sex starts at 50 How to age-proof your Libido' is TV presenter and newspaper columnist Tracey Cox's 17th book, focussing on her specialist subjects of dating, sex and relationships. It offers great practical information and sound advice, if you'll pardon the innuendo, in a hands-on guide to a more fulfilling and healthier life. Like all self-help manuals, the reader can be selective and take from it what suits their own relationship or lack of one.
I was a little put off by the swear words used at the start of the book, as I felt their use did nothing to enhance the tone of an otherwise very thoroughly researched and detailed study of sex in later life.... Read Full Review
Tracey Cox’s book, Great Sex at 50 is here to address the challenges that face us sexually in our fifties, sixties and beyond… Fifty-plus looks nothing like it used to. Fitter, healthier, many of us hit half a century with little sign of slowing down. And yet…there's no denying that something happens to us sexually at 50. The menopause brings with it a whole slew of challenges, from bottomed-out libidos to painful sex, weight gain and body image issues. Many men grapple with erectile dysfunction and the mixed blessing that is Viagra. Toss in dodgy knees, stiff backs and fatigue and sex can become a source of stress rather than pleasure. Other challenges go beyond the physical: how do you ignite desire after decades with the same person? And what if you (or your partner) simply no longer wants to have sex?
Happily, information and enthusiasm are all it takes to reclaim a robust sex life, whatever your situation. Let international sex expert Tracey Cox navigate you through what's actually happening to your body and what you can do about it. She'll show you how to age-proof your libido and stop comparing the sex you had when you were young with the sex you have now; how to arouse yourself and your partner (hello, sex toys!), how to flirt (remember?), how to create the perfect conditions for sex, what to do when infidelity visits, how to navigate sex when you're fifty- (or sixty- or seventy-) something and single, and so much more.
Using a blend of research, case histories and personal anecdotes, Great Sex Starts at 50 is real, reassuring, honest, funny and most of all empowering. This is not about trying to stay young, or turning back the clock-it's about being the best version of yourself so you can live the second half of your life as happily as the first.
