Your Best Holiday Present

Tuesday, December 21st, 2010

Yesterday I had to stop at the mall to pick up a few things that were not holiday related.

I wish I had thought of getting them several weeks ago. It would have been quicker and easier.

The mall was mobbed, few if any parking places, crying babies, harried mothers, and lots of dazed seniors laden with packages. I just had to ask one woman who she was buying so many things for.

Her answer was classic: “My husband. I never know what he wants, so I just buy Read More→

For More Satisfying Senior Sex Put Your Love Into Action

Tuesday, December 14th, 2010

Too often we want to feel our way into acting. But with love, romance, sex it isn’t very efficient. Feelings are too transitory and dependent on what’s happening now in our internal world.

Friday Tips: Try a Little Necking

Friday, December 10th, 2010

One of the sensuous, quasi-sexual activities that falls off the radar of many couples, younger and older is necking. When were younger, or had younger children, there often didn’t seem to be time for intimacy that didn’t include intercourse.

Now, as we’ve gotten older, sometimes struggling with health issues, or even just fatigue, many couples find they just don’t have the energy for making love as often as they did when they were younger.

If this is what is going on at your house, try a little necking for a change. You know, that old skill that has become almost extinct. Kids don’t do it much any more, but us old fogeys remember how it was the only thing we were supposed to do.  And only with clothes on and nothing rumpled so our parents wouldn’t realize what we’d be doing.

Now for sure you are old enough. You might even think about getting bold and get to second or even third base.

Your mother won’t know what you’ve been up to this time!

Are You Letting Your Past Sabotage Your Satisfying Senior Sex

Tuesday, December 7th, 2010

One of the questions I’m often asked is some version of “Dr. Pat, what can I do so the sexual abuse I experienced as a little kid doesn’t still get in the way of the intimacy I want with my honey?”

It’s not uncommon to start to uncover an awareness of, or reawaken feelings about, past traumas, especially sexual trauma or abuse, when you are working making things better.

Does this mean it’s time to Read More→
