“Joan Price’s new book, Naked at Our Age: Talking Out Loud about Senior Sex, is a candid, generous gift to young and old alike. Price, along with many medical specialists, therapists and people struggling with sexual concerns, speaks frankly and compassionately about subjects many of us are too embarrassed to broach — much to our great disadvantage. Price’s approach: Problems are meant to be solved and should not be suffered in silence. To that end, Price consults many experts who apply their knowledge and experience to what are, in fact, normal issues for any of us lucky enough to find ourselves in a maturing body.” Read more here.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has issued rules for bloggers: If we receive payment or free products for review, we need to disclose this. I think this is clear in my reviews, but here it is in plain words:

If I review a book, I usually (but not always) received a review copy from the publisher or the author. This in no way influences what I say about the book.

If I review a sex toy or related product that I received free from the retailer or affiliate, I mention or thank my source in the review.

I do not receive payment for my product reviews. I do have affiliate arrangements with the companies listed with logos here, which means I get a small commission if you order through the link I provide. This does not affect your price in any way.

Whether I receive a product for review or buy it, I give honest reviews — that’s what my readers expect, that’s what I insist on doing, and that’s what the providers of these products expect, also.
