Sex After 40

In the end, it's all about sex.  But don't take our word for it.

In his book, Programming the Universe," MIT professor Seth Lloyd calls the invention of sex a great revolution "dwarfing all that followed...a tour de force," and pays it the ultimate MIT compliment: "Sex is not only fun, it is good engineering practice."

Then he goes on to explain the universe, blah, blah, blah. And we're kicking ourselves for not getting a degree in engineering.  Who knew?

The best we can do at this point is become a sex missionary, spreading the word and doing good sex deeds.  So we're writing a book of our own: Sex After 40.

You probably want to see a few excerpts.

Introduction

While sex in your 20s and 30s is a hundred yard dash, sex in your 40s is a languid, passionate trip through a garden of lush eroticism, sensual interpersonal connection, and steamy, kinky verbal and physical exchanges.

You wish.

More likely, your rakish good looks are heading south, your scented massage oils have gone sour, and it has been a long time since you've had any.

Which can happen frequently to people who are over 40.

Which is why you need this book.

Rediscovering Foreplay

Woody Allen said that sex is like playing bridge. If you don't have a good partner, you need a good hand.

What makes a good partner? It's you, paying attention to the little things that will put your partner in the mood: An unexpected compliment; a surprise, lingering kiss on the nape of the neck; sexy, romantic wordplay; a discreet, intimate caress in a public place; leaning over and planting a wet one on your partner's lap at a red light; an outrageous, whispered promise of sexual performance that would require a safety net and a dozen circus roustabouts to fulfill, and so on.

We call this "foreplay." It is a substitute for ripping off all the buttons, unhooking all the clasps, untying all the knots, and unzipping all the zippers that are keeping you from getting laid.
