The experienced therapist and support group leader will conduct a workshop this month at which participants will work together to create a model of mature male sensuality. It's a chance for men to puzzle out some dilemmas they're facing rather than have another expert tell them what they should be doing. Over the years, men of varying sexual experience and perspectives begin to face the common challenges that come with age. How men react to such obstacles can result in even more obstacles. Someone may experience erectile difficulty, become disillusioned and detached, then stop wanting to have any kind of sexual or sensual experience because it's too difficult or humiliating.
Erectile difficulties are pretty normal.
It's what you do about it that makes all the difference. That's why Mineau sees middle age and beyond as an opportunity rather than a crisis in terms of sexuality. But it can be an impetus to expand their repertoire and enhance intimacy. Doing so may be easier for those who have long-term partners. You know your partner and they know you, so when you come up against the limitations of love and sexuality you can confront them together.
