Synopsis
Widespread ageist erotophobia continues to ensure the marginalisation of ageing sexuality. This issue is tackled in this ground-breaking international survey of current research on ageing, sex and sexuality. Through conceptual and theoretical analysis and empirical studies, and focusing on the intimacies, practices and pleasures of ageing populations with a range of sexual identities, this essential text exemplifies the richness and diversity of sexuality in later lives.
Synopsis
Despite increased awareness of sexual diversity, older people's accounts of sex and intimacy remain marginalised. This edited volume addresses diversity in sexual and intimate experience later in life (50+) and captures international research and analysis relating to intersectional identities. Contributors explore how being older intersects with differences of ethnicity, gender, sexuality and class. Offering a critical focus and original contribution to an emerging, although still relatively neglected field, this collection extends knowledge concerning intimacies, practices and pleasures for those thought to represent normative, non-normative and 'new normative' forms of sexual identification and expression.
