Dr. Ivor Felstein`s fascinating study sheds light on sexual activity among those of an older age. How far do ideas about age inhibit the expression of love in the elderly, and prevent them from seeking advice? To what age is sexual activity likely to continue, and can it or should it be prolonged? An entertaining and reassuring read...

In 1868 life expectation was forty years; today It is seventy years. But the longer average life we now enjoy has presented us with a new range of problems.
Dr Felstein, author of Later Life: Geriatrics Today and Tomorrow, deals in this new study with ari aspect of old age which so far has not been much considered or discussed. To what age is sexual activity likely to continue? Can it or should it be prolonged indefinitely? What happens at the `change of life`? How far do ideas about youth and age inhibit the expression of married love in the elderly and prevent them from seeking advice?
In clear, direct, non-medical language Dr Felstein answers all these questions, providing facts, putting forward suggestions and dispersing nonsense. Not only does this book shed a new light on the sexual life of the elderly but it gives, in a lively and often entertaining manner, advice, reassurance and hope to those readers who are fifty and upwards.
