Assisted Loving: The Journey through Sexuality and Aging

Ginger Manley addresses the many complex issues of love sex and aging in an open and wonderful way. Instead of comparing us to randy 20-year-olds she listens to the concerns of older individuals-Nathan Sid Marlene-there are some 87 of them. Many of her answers are heartwarming and reassuring some are frank and factual and some may stretch your thinking-if youre set on believing that your sex life is headed downhill even before you apply for Medicare. Her responses are respectful generous deeply thoughtful human funny and wise. They are filled with the kind of information your mother never told you and they come from the depths of her experience-shes a registered nurse; shes a university professor; shes a certified sex therapist; shes been in the field for over three decades and shes a really smart curious woman with a huge heart and the courage to call it the way she sees it.
