The New Love and Sex After 60
When this book was first published in 1976, a Florida newspaper  refused to advertise it as "too prurient for the general  public." Happily, the book became a classic anyway and has gone  through several editions over 25 years. This update merely  strengthens its credentials as the best all-around sex manual  for older adults. There is thorough coverage of the standard  topics: the effects of normal aging, medical problems, and drugs  on sexuality and how to overcome roadblocks; physical and  emotional sexual fitness; singlehood and relationships; sexual  enhancement tips; dating, remarriage, and one's children; and  finding help. This new edition incorporates same-sex  relationships more equitably. In addition, readers are given  permission not to be strongly interested in sex a refreshing  change from the "super-orgasms can change your life!" approach  of so many sex manuals. Lewis is a physician and head of the  International Longevity Center, and Butler is a clinical  psychotherapist. Both have other books on aging to their credit.  For all public libraries, no excuses get several copies. [The  previous edition was featured in "Sex Texts Come Out of the  Closet," a collection development feature in LJ  10/1/97.
