That Certain Age: Exploring the New Dimensions of Aging; Seniors and Sexuality

An ordained minister, who is a professor of human sexuality, and a national training director for a major corporation join the host of the television show That Certain Age: Exploring the New Dimensions of Aging. In this episode on Seniors and Sexuality, they discuss society's ambivalent attitude toward sexuality in older people. Asserting that sexuality is a normal and healthy need for people of any age, they suggest that youthful sexuality is preparation for a more mature and multi-faceted experience. This video pinpoints ways that older people can feel more fulfilled both physically and psychologically. They suggest expanding how one defines sexuality to include a more creative, multi-sensual experience. Self-pleasure, massage, fantasy, and human touch are some of the methods they have explored to help keep the senses alive and to counteract depression.
