Re the photo: We did this in 2015, and it was wonderful! See my blog post about it here. Since 2015, my hairstyle is different and I might have a few more wrinkles, but Francisco hasn’t changed a bit.
Great Sex Without Penetration
Let’s get one misconception out of the way. Sex without penetration is still sex. Real sex. Satisfying sex. Hot sex. The idea that only penetrative sex constitutes “real sex” limits our creativity and our satisfaction. There are many reasons that penetrative sex might be off the table, but that leaves us with a smorgasbord of delectable options. Get new ideas for what we can do instead to express ourselves sexually, arouse ourselves and each other, share intimacy, and enjoy orgasms. Learn how to talk to a partner about sexual limitations and possibilities and how to negotiate more satisfying sexual expression. For all ages, not just seniors.
Launching a dialogue on sexuality and sexual health
Join us for an afternoon of learning and talking about sex and aging. Tentative schedule:
