Sex after 50: Fact or Fiction? Changing Beliefs about Aging and Intimacy

by Ditte Trolle

Overview

The 50+ generation is healthier than ever and wants to stay active in every respect - including sexually. They may find that the most important obstacle to deal with is the opinion of people around them, that society’s view on the sexuality of women and men beyond their family building years is permeated by myths and taboos. Culture is hard to change, but a good start is to know what’s going on and why. This book sheds light on the cultural and religious factors impacting on the sex life of the older generation. It also addresses the hormonal and physical changes that may come with aging and gives advice about how to handle them and maintain a good and satisfying sex life.

This book discusses both biological and cultural issues affecting the sexuality of the older generation. It includes open-hearted contributions from men and women between 55 and 80, describing their own intimate life. The author is Dr. Ditte Trolle, born 1950 in Sweden, now living and working in Denmark. She is an MD and a specialist in gynecology and obstetrics.

About the Author

I was born in Sweden in 1950. I am an MD and a specialist in Obstetrics and Gynecology and have worked as a consultant in Norway, Sweden and Denmark. My latest position was at the University Hospital in Aarhus, Denmark, where I worked primarily with benign gynecological diseases and hormonal problems. Some years ago, I was asked to give a talk about what happens to people's sex life when they're not quite young any more - and I gathered so much information that I chose to write a book. I teach and give lectures on sexology.
I live in Sondrup, Denmark, with my husband Povl and our dog Emma.
