Summary: Warning: This episode on senior sex obviously contains adult material.<br> Today my guest was Joan Price, who is a senior sex guru. And as you know, sex is an important part of the retirement lifestyle.<br> Joan, who is an “advocate for ageless sexuality”, has written numerous books, and in fact, she has been called the “senior sexpert”. When I met her online I knew that I just had to have her on the show!<br> We discussed the fact that NO, we don’t have to sit in a separate bathtub holding hands with our partner (think Cialis commercials) and in fact, we don’t even need to have partner at all! Think about it, if you are a woman, chances are your partner (if you have one) is going to predecease you if you are around the same age since women live longer than men.<br> Senior Sex? I have so many questions!<br> <br> * What do you think about drugs like Cialis and Viagra?<br> * Should these senior sex drugs be covered by Medicare?<br> * What made you start writing about senior sex in the first place?<br> * How can we spice up our sex lives?<br> * Why do we tend to put our sex lives on hold as we get older?<br> * What do we do if we don’t have a partner (Joan has a lot to say about this subject!)<br> * If you’re shy, what do you do?<br> * How can you talk to your doctor and what should you say?<br> * What do you do with all those adult toys after you review them?<br> <br> We talked about the fact that she writes reviews of sex toys from a senior perspective.<br> I asked her what the difference would be between a non-senior and a senior perspective and she was happy to tell me.<br> <br> * We lose sensitivity as we age, so senior sex toys should be really powerful.<br> * For the same reason, they have to go a long time. We don’t want the battery dying at a critical moment.<br> * An adult toy should be comfortable for arthritic hands (ergonomic).<br> * The controls should be easy for aging eyes to see.<br> * We need to be able to hold on to them with slippery fingers, so they should be easy to hold.<br> * These devices should be made with non-toxic materials. There are no laws governing this like there are for dog toys or baby toys. (Who knew?)<br> * Aging women may prefer slimmer senior sex toys.<br> <br> Joan has several books including:<br> <br> * <a href="http://joanprice.com/books/sexafterfifty.html">Ultimate Guide to Sex After 50: How to Maintain – or Regain! – a Spicy, Satisfying Sex Life</a>;<br> * <a href="http://joanprice.com/nakedatourage.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Naked at Our Age: Talking Out Loud </a><br> * <a href="http://joanprice.com/BetterThanExpected.htm">Better Than I Ever Expected: Straight Talk about Sex After Sixty</a><br> <br> She also offers classes and webinars, and you can find out more information on her websites:<br> <a href="http://www.joanprice.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">www.joanprice.com</a> or <a href="http://www.nakedatourage.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">www.nakedatourage.com</a><br> Download today’s FREEBIE:<br> 33 reasons that sex is good for you (especially at our age) <a href="https://app.convertkit.com/landing_pages/155521?v=6" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">HERE</a>.<br> Special Thanks to:<br> <br> * Angie Strehlow who helps us get great guests that help us with our retirement lifestyle while keeping everything on track<br> * Les Briney who edits the show and makes my guests and me sound terrific<br> * Lesinda Tubalado who helps keep the website up to date<br> * YOU the listener for letting other people know about this show by sharing on social media, and telling your friends about it<br> <br> This post on Retirement Lifestyle first appeared on http://RockYourRetirement.com<br><br> <br>
