Angeles
Time
Review
by
Jane
Allen
This
celebration
of
sexuality
in
the
senior
years
updates
a
landmark
book
by
authors
who
have
a
host
of
credentials
in
dealing
with
aging
men
and
women.
Dr.
Robert
Butler,
the
founding
director
of
the
National
Institute
on
Aging,
won
a
Pulitzer
Prize
in
1976
for
his
book
"Why
Survive?
Being
Old
in
America."
Psychotherapist
Myrna
Lewis,
a
fellow
faculty
member
at
the
Mount
Sinai
School
of
Medicine
in
New
York
City,
is
an
expert
on
social
and
health
issues
for
women
of
middle
age
and
above.
Much
has
changed
since
1976,
however,
when
their
first
book
tackled
the
sensitive
subject
of
sex
and
seniors.
Former
Senate
Majority
Leader
Bob
Dole
has
helped
advertise
Viagra,
bringing
erectile
dysfunction
into
prime-time
television;
actor
Tony
Randall
fathered
a
child
well
into
his
70s;
and
AIDS
has
been
diagnosed
in
old
and
young
alike.
At
the
same
time,
the
number
of
Americans
older
than
60
has
soared,
and
with
them
the
expectation
of
sexual
activity
well
into
their
retirement
years.
The
Butler
and
Lewis
book
has
been
updated
accordingly,
with
information
on
performance-enhancing
medications
and
a
host
of
medical
conditions
that
can
affect
sexuality,
including
menopause.
The
authors
explain
normal
aging
in
both
men
and
women,
suggesting
ways
to
address
some
of
the
more
difficult
obstacles
an
older
couple
may
encounter
during
lovemaking.
The
authors
remind
readers
that
physical
fitness
has
much
to
do
with
sexual
fitness,
so
it's
important
to
exercise,
even
if
you
have
physical
limitations.
Most
important,
they
help
readers
see
sexuality
and
sensuality
as
important
contributors
to
happiness
and
satisfaction
at
any
time
of
life.
