Blog Name: Geriotica: Seniors, Aging & Elder Sex
Location: Illinois
To the best of my knowledge I coined the term geriotica (Greek: “geri-,” having to do with old age); erotica (literary genre devoted to sensual love). I encourage everyone (age 50+) to continue enjoying (or to rekindle) their sex lives.
My message: As long as we think about sex in whatever context, we are sexual beings. As long as we embrace rather than mourn our changing bodies, we are sexual beings.
The photo captures my nest in all its disorganized glory. I'm also a voice talent, which explains the mic, headphone and audio stuff. I had no idea I was part of such a dynamic and thriving community!
I agree, sex keeps the hormones flowing, that helps keep us fit. We need to keep active, and a good sex life is part of that. You don't read much about elder sex, thank you, and encourage others.

Why does no one comment on how sexual seniors (80s) who have no partner (and are not looking) get sexual satisfaction? Am I the only one in this situation?

I cannot tell if I can't perform certain strength-required action because I don't understand the directions or if I am just not strong enough. Frustrating.

I totally agree with this issue about sexuality of us seniors and I love your word, Geriotica. Are there collections or books which you can recommend?

I completely agree with you I am 81 and my husband is 86.... and we do love our moments and important to have the togetherness and closeness. Gives us a lot of confidence in each other.
