Media Responses to Ageless Erotica

If you’re over 50 and looking for some age appropriate titillation, open up Ageless Erotica. This collection serves a wide variety of sexual interests, and you may appreciate some stories more than others, but I highly recommend keeping this at your bedside. Go through the stories, highlight or bookmark your favorites, and share them with a friend, lover or spouse. Or use your particular favorites to jump-start arousal when you’re alone too. I’m already looking forward to a sequel!

Ms. Price, a longtime educator and advocate for sex after 60, has assembled 31 short stories of people long assumed to have aged out of their desires, enjoying the fact that they have and can live out their desires. The good news seems to be that the women have full possession of their sexual selves. These women know what they enjoy and how to get it. These ladies have out lived their body issues and their pretenses of being too innocent for that. Their confidence in themselves and knowledge of the choices make all of them that much more desirable.

Ageless Erotica spans a wider horizon of choices than we may have assumed would still be available. All are well written and all provide hope as well as stimulation for the imagination. However some aging parts may have varied in their dependability, the imagination can get richer with age.

Joan Price has almost single handedly torn aside the curtain hiding senior sexual behavior. She solicited erotic stories from those over fifty and compiled the best into this wonderful collection. Price decries the snickering and embarrassment associated with senior sexual activity and presents stories of senior sexual encounters across the sexual spectrum, and her stories are spot on. The coming wave of Boomers will push aside the stereotypes of asexual seniors and embrace the truth that sex is not only universal, but timeless. Seniors should consider this as an interesting addition to their bookshelf, and will be relieved to find that they are not the only retirees harboring desire for a continuing (though different) sex life.

Ageless Erotica is a marvelous anthology, full of surprises! I’m tempted to tell you which story I liked best, but then you’d know too much about me.
