Contrary to popular myth, great sex is not reserved for those under 40. With maturity comes the potential for a multi-faceted, soulful loving that deepens ties of intimacy and nurturing. That is the loving that sustains relationships into later years.

As we get older, many of us find that work and family stress or health problems keep us from enjoying sex as much as we used to. We may become less demonstrative with our partner or begin to avoid physical closeness. In this book Dr. Barbara Keesling shows couples how to reignite sexual feelings while reconnecting emotionally. She provides a series of relaxation, body-image, and touch exercises that build self-esteem, open lines of communication, promote playfulness and spontaneity, and heighten sexual response.

This warm and encouraging guide is for both longtime couples and new partners who want to learn to make love in the deepest sense of the word-not just with their bodies, but from their hearts.

"Finally, a look at the overwhelmingly positive effects of sexual expression in our lives, including increased self-esteem, personal fulfillment and sexual ecstasy. Simplify your sex life and breathe some life back into that divinely sensual body." — Whole Life Times, USA

"In contrast to other how-to-books about sex, focusing on pleasing your partner at the expense of pleasing yourself, Dr. Keesling presents a series of meditative 'sensate focus' exercises designed to keep your attention on your own experience." — Yoga Journal
