Thanks to the way our society worships at the altar of youth, it can be hard for middle-aged and older adults not to feel a bit obsolete at times. Many people see getting older as something embarrassing or, at the very least, disheartening. In fact, you have every reason to keep your sexuality and erotic life alive as you get older. Let us count the ways! Younger adults tend to glean a lot of their personal fulfillment from their careers, their children, or both. Older people, on other hand, eventually have to reevaluate their priorities as their children leave home, as they contemplate retirement, and as they start to slow down for other reasons.
