Sex Advice From AARP… Wait, What?

Most of us think of AARP as the organization that sells a Medicare supplement and offers a 15% discount at Outback Steak House. Who knew they were also there to teach men how to help their female partners reach orgasm?

Yep, this article says that men don’t “give” women orgasms; instead, men can help create the right environment that allows the woman to have an orgasm. And it offers six specific suggestions for doing just that.

Guys, you’ll find some good ideas to put into practice; and ladies, perhaps the article will help you identify what may be missing, and guide your partner toward meeting your needs.

Most of us think of CNN as the place for 24 hour coverage of missing airliners, but here’s a story from its website on a topic that can be just as mysterious: on-line dating.

The writer, Ronni Berke, says she let her fear of something bad happening, like disappointment or heartbreak, keep her from even trying to meet new people. Finally, after seven years, she decided that avoiding any bad was also preventing any good. So she took the plunge, trying on-line and speed dating. She describes her experiences with both, and offers some tips about each.

Please use the Comments section to describe your experiences in the on-line and speed dating world. Did it work well for you, or was it a flop? Any suggestions for improving the odds?

The first marriage didn’t work out. And now you’ve met someone new, someone great, someone who could be “The One.” But how can you know for sure?

The blog “A Sexy Woman of a Certain Age” is run by Erica, a woman in her fifties, who created the site “to ignite a conversation about the sexual power of boomer women.”

This particular post is an interview with boudoir photographer Lori Berkowitz about why she prefers shooting women over 50. There are photos included; depending on where you happen to W, the shots may be NSF.

And ladies, when you are in a non-work situation, be sure to check out the entire blog. Erica has provided a wealth of interesting and valuable information. (Guys, no need to tell you to check it out — you’re probably clicking the link at this very moment…)

From Health.com, 8 Reasons Sex is Better After 50. What, they couldn’t come up with 10 reasons? Who ever heard of a “Top 8” List?

Come on, let’s see if we can round out this list. We just need two more. Use the Comments section below to add your suggestion.

A Divorce Over 50 quite often means dealing with much more complicated financial issues than those faced by younger couples. Many people in our demographic have built up retirement plans, acquired real estate, maybe even own a business. Here’s a very thorough article highlighting the different financial factors most Over 50’s need to consider when going through a divorce.

Wanted to mix it up with a video about dating Over 50. And frankly, most of what’s out there is very amateurish, people just talking into the camera, not making a whole lot of sense, losing track of where they are in their list of points, even getting interrupted by barking dogs.

This video from 2ndAct.tv is a very well done, professional piece. It features a few men talking with an interviewer about what they’re looking for, and a group of women discussing their experiences with a (male) therapist. It’s worth the six minutes or so to take a look (and you won’t need your reading glasses!).

From the Ann Brenhoff of the Huffington Post, 25 Dating Turn Offs that come up when you’re Over 50. Can’t say any of these ever happened to me, and am proud to say I never committed any of these faux pas, either. (I actually checked, and the plural of “faux pas” is spelled the same as the singular. If you were saying it, though, singular is pronounced foh-PAH, while the plural is pronounced foh-PAHZ — see all the great info you get on this site?)

Regardless, it’s a cute, short piece, so check it out. Have you committed one of these? Or had one happen to you? Please discuss in the Comments on the next page by clicking Read More…
