<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "hind" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">At age 75, I posed in lingerie with the extraordinary photographer <a href="http://perrygallagher.com/" target="_blank">Perry Gallagher</a>. It was my fourth time in fancy underwear in front of a camera. The previous three were at age <a href="https://betterthanieverexpected.blogspot.com/2009/10/older-women-wear-lingerie.html" target="_blank">65</a> and <a href="https://betterthanieverexpected.blogspot.com/2011/11/older-women-wear-lingerie-revisited.html" target="_blank">68</a> with photographer Ruth Lefkowitz,</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "hind" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> and at age <a href="https://betterthanieverexpected.blogspot.com/2016/10/older-women-wear-lingerie-age-72.html" target="_blank">72</a> with Perry. I had no idea the first time that this would become a regular event every few years. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "hind" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "hind" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">It's fascinating to me to watch my aging process over a decade of being "old" and to affirm that sexiness can be both internal and external. We're so judgmental about ourselves, especially our bodies!</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "hind" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>

But there were also many that made me smile and even laugh with joy. It was difficult to narrow down my choices because so many left me awestruck. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "hind" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "hind" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">Once I made my choices, Perry went to work. When he showed me the first edit, I said no. He had aged me backwards about 15 years by smoothing out the wrinkles, eliminating the skin spots, tightening the midriff. The photo was beautiful and glamorous -- and know that he can do that for you, too! -- but I wanted authenticity. I told him to edit much more lightly, because I wanted to celebrate aging, not erase it. The photos you see here are the result. I'm thrilled with them. </span></span><br />
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "hind" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: "hind" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 14px;">And the whole process was fun! Perry loves his work and it's clear that he really does see his subjects as beautiful. We joked and played seductive verbal games. I felt completely at ease with him and with myself. </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "hind" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Here's what I learned from this photo shoot and from the previous three:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "hind" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "hind" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">1. We are our own worst critics when we assess our own bodies.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "hind" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">2. The eyes of a skilled photographer reveal us to ourselves in ways we can't see on our own. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "hind" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">3. Whatever our age or the state of our body, we have beauty.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "hind" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">4. Being photographed by a skilled photographer who sees our beauty is empowering.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "hind" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">5. We don't age out of sensuality or sexuality. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "hind" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Perry Gallagher is a visionary, and I'm proud and honored to be part of his vision. If you're in or near LA, I hope you'll </span><a href="mailto:Perry@PerryGallagher.com" style="color: #222222; font-family: hind, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;" target="_blank">contact Perry</a><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "hind" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px;"> and book your own photo shoot. Whether you want your photos to be boudoir ( lingerie), fine art nude, portrait, or wedding, I guarantee that Perry will put you at ease and produce beautiful photos. When you meet him, ask him to tell you the story of how he got his first camera.</span><br />

Rice, age 64, she embarked on a love affair that would change her life forever.
Writing about their relationship led Price on a path to become an
internationally known senior sex expert and advocate, revolutionizing the notion
that sex has no expiration date. Today, the acclaimed 75-year-old author and
Sebastopol resident is sharing her ageless sexuality message for seniors
as she teams up with noted sex educator jessica drake in their upcoming film,

empowerment for seniors,” Price said. “Sex in our later years has its

open mind, a spirit of adventure, and a sense of humor. My mission is to

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">“I’m so excited to begin work on this
newest installment of our award-winning series and demonstrate that sex can get
better with age,” drake said. “I’m grateful to share in this effort with the
amazing Joan Price who brings her vast knowledge and experience on the topic of
sex for seniors. We’re looking forward to changing some attitudes and debunking
misconceptions with this exciting edition of 'Guide to Wicked Sex.' This
may be my favorite guide in the series and it hasn’t even been shot yet.”</span><o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Price’s journey as a senior sex advocate
began 18 years ago after meeting artist <a href="http://www.robertriceart.com/" target="_blank">Robert Rice</a>. At age 61, she
wrote “<a href="http://www.joanprice.com/BetterThanExpected.htm" target="_blank">Better Than I Ever Expected: Straight Talk About Sex After Sixty</a>”
(Seal Press, 2006) to celebrate the delights of older-life sexuality. She
followed that with “<a href="http://www.joanprice.com/nakedatourage.html" target="_blank">Naked at Our Age: Talking Out Loud About Senior Sex</a>” (Seal
Press, 2011) and "<a href="http://www.joanprice.com/books/sexafterfifty.html" target="_blank">The Ultimate Guide to Sex After 50</a>" (Cleis Press, 2014) to
address the problems and challenges of sex in an aging body. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Robert Rice passed away from cancer in
2008, seven years after they met and two years after they married. Joan Price
continues her work to transform attitudes about senior sex. She is currently
writing a new book on a topic that is sorely needed: “Sex After Grief:
Navigating Your Sexuality After Loss of Your Beloved.” “I couldn’t have written
this book ten years ago or even two years ago,” she says, “But now it’s time.”
Price writes intimately about her own grief journey and includes other
grievers’ experiences. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif;">Before Price became a sex educator, she
had two other professions. She was a high school English teacher for 22
years, the last 12 at Petaluma High School. A few years after a 1979 near-fatal
automobile accident Price became a fitness professional, teaching that
“exercise should be a treat, not a treatment.” She wrote several books about
health and fitness, including “<a href="http://www.joanprice.com/books/aaeb.htm" target="_blank">The Anytime, Anywhere Exercise Book: 300+ Quickand Easy Exercises You Can Do Whenever You Want</a><span id="goog_1738913245"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a><span id="goog_1738913246"></span>.” Now, she teaches popular
contemporary <a href="http://www.joanprice.com/dance.htm" target="_blank">line dancing classes</a> in Sebastopol and Santa Rosa, California.</span><o:p></o:p></div>

With the <a href="https://www.hotoctopuss.com/jett/?affiliates=8e296a067a37563370ded05f5a3bf3ec" target="_blank"><b>JETT</b></a>, the wonderful new sex toy for penises from <b><a href="https://www.hotoctopuss.com/?affiliates=8e296a067a37563370ded05f5a3bf3ec" target="_blank">Hot Octopuss</a></b>, you can start your own engine, and really rev it up.<br />
<br />
JETT’s dual engines are vibrating silver bullets powered by four AA batteries. One “engine” contains a motor that produces treble vibrations, and the other yields deeper, more rumbly bass vibrations. What makes this innovation exciting is that you control the intensity of each motor. You can play with and set the levels of treble and bass intensity against five built-in vibration patterns to provide a wonderfully wide range of stimulation.<br />
<br />

The sleeve surrounds the frenulum on one side and the ridge atop the penile head on the other. When JETT revs up, the sensations are multiple and magnificent. The real fun with this toy comes (pun intended) in locating precisely the right treble and bass frequencies, paired with one of the five vibration patterns, that launches you into the JETT stream.<br />

When I used JETT for solo sex, I loved the way I could stretch out the glorious sensations by switching intensities and vibration patterns. I tried it starting with a flaccid penis (flaccid didn’t last long!), and next time with a semi-erect member. JETT’s “dual exhausts” quickly brought me to orgasm in both cases.<br />
<br />
I thought JETT was solely for masturbation until my female partner asked to observe it in action. To my immense pleasure, she discovered that fellatio on the protruding tip of my penis sent me into an ecstatic state and rapid ejaculation. So there is a place for <a href="https://www.hotoctopuss.com/jett/?affiliates=8e296a067a37563370ded05f5a3bf3ec" target="_blank">JETT</a> in partner sex as well as solo.<br />

Twice when I tried to change from one vibration pattern to another, JETT simply stopped on me, and I had to restart it. Also, be aware that a battery-powered device is not waterproof. But these are minor inconveniences compared to the enormous positives that surround this delightful and fun new sex toy for penises. It is also priced affordably at just $69.<br />

realized immediately the impact she was making not only on seniors </span><span style="color: null;">worldwide,</span><span style="color: null;"> but also the
educational community. She has a gift of authenticity and relatability that few
can match. I’ve wanted to collaborate with her for quite some time now to make
an educational resource for older adults - generations that missed out on sex
ed growing up and are now facing new challenges.” She continues with her
current ideas, “My goals for this project are to ‘give permission’ to folks who
may not believe they have it, to explore their sexualities and live out their
fantasies, no matter their age or perceived physical limitations. I want to use
my Guide to Wicked Sex series to empower as many people as possible, and I am
grateful to Joan for her hard work and effort in creating this vision along
with me.”</span></span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

“I’ve long admired </span><span style="color: null;">jessica</span><span style="color: null;"> drake for her sexual rights activism, her support of causes
that touch her heart, and her dedication to sex education. Our Wicked Guide to
Senior Sex is an outgrowth of all of these. jessica and I have been discussing
and planning this project for a couple of years, and I’m thrilled that it will
come to fruition in the next few months!” She explains, “Why a Wicked Guide to
Senior Sex? You’d think that by age 50, 60, 70 and beyond, we’d know everything
we need to know about sex. But no one warns us that our bodies and sexual
responses will change as we age, often dramatically. Many seniors think that
sex is over when they start experiencing sexual challenges, discomforts, and
disappointments. But the truth is that sex can be exciting and satisfying
again—with the right education, a spirit of adventure, and clear communication.
I’m 75, and I’ve been writing and speaking about senior sex since 2005. This
film will give a new dimension to older-adult sex education, with clear,
practical advice demonstrated by real, sexy seniors.”</span></span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

It's always a joy when <b><a href="https://us.funfactory.com/#a_aid=Joan" target="_blank">Fun Factory</a></b> comes out with a new vibrator, and this time, it's the <a href="https://us.funfactory.com/en/men-toys/manta/#a_aid=Joan" target="_blank"><b>Manta</b> vibrating stroker</a> for penises. I invited Shamus MacDuff to experiment with the Manta, and he sent this report:<br />

<br />
The latest addition to <a href="https://us.funfactory.com/#a_aid=Joan" target="_blank">Fun Factory</a>’s delightful menagerie is a new sex toy for penises called <b><a href="https://us.funfactory.com/en/men-toys/manta/#a_aid=Joan" target="_blank">Manta</a></b>. Manta joins other Fun Factory “animals” such as <a href="https://betterthanieverexpected.blogspot.com/2018/04/fun-factory-sex-toys.html" target="_blank">Patchy Paul</a> (a caterpillar) and <a href="https://betterthanieverexpected.blogspot.com/2018/04/fun-factory-sex-toys.html" target="_blank">Volta</a> (a squid) in their growing sex toy “zoo.”<br />
<br />
Manta is so named because the “grippers” of the vibrating stroker resemble the “horns” of a Manta Ray. These grippers (aka flexible wings) have six intensity levels and six different rhythms to create a range of exciting stimulation. Manta can be used successfully in solo sex or in partnered fun, and either way it’s a winner.<br />
<br />
Solo, I especially enjoy moving it slowly up and down my penile shaft with lube before eventually concentrating its vibrations on the frenulum and the ridge at the back of the penile head. Kazoom! This activity reminds me of watching real life manta rays rubbing up against coral heads back in my scuba diving days, an action to which they returned over and over because it obviously felt good.<br />

My female sex partner used Manta to great advantage on my shaft, bringing me to throes of ecstasy as she combined Manta stroking with her own hand and mouth, backing off, and then bringing me up again. Joyous fun, leaving my entire body tingling.<br />

Sex is complicated enough when it’s easy — but when we’re in
grief, it’s especially mysterious and confusing. How do we nurture ourselves as
sexual beings when we’re grieving the death of a partner? Why does taking care
of ourselves sexually even matter when we’d rather hide under the
covers and wail? What do we do with those sexual feelings that arise despite
our misery? How do we know when it’s time to open ourselves to a new sexual
relationship, whether it’s a friend with benefits or a new love connection? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I am thrilled to tell you that I'm writing a new book: <i>Sex after Grief: Navigating Your Sexuality After Loss
of Your Beloved</i><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">.</i> I will draw on
my own experiences as a widow since 2008. I’ll share my own raw grief journey, my sexual reawakening (and the many
stumbles along the way), my attempts to dip my toes in the dating pool, and
what I learned. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This book won’t just be about me, though. As I’ve done in all my
<a href="http://joanprice.com/" target="_blank">books about senior sex</a>, I’ll include excerpts from other people’s personal stories,
which will help readers see that we who have grieved have much in common, yet
also much that’s different. There’s no right or wrong method or timeline for
bringing our sexuality back to into our lives, whether it’s with our own hands,
a well-placed vibrator, a hook-up, a new companion, or any combination.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>

Other than his name, he promises that everything he says about himself is true. His first guest post, “<a href="http://betterthanieverexpected.blogspot.com/2017/08/sex-without-penetration-mans-view.html" style="color: #bf277e;" target="_blank">Great Sex Without Penetration: A Man’s View</a>,” attracted so many readers and such positive response that when he offers additional posts, I quickly agree.</i></div>

I assert that more guys need to learn about the joys of sex toys, especially vibrators.<br />
<br />
While a few vibrators are targeted specifically to provide stimulus and response to penises, a great many more kinds of sex toys exist. Most of these are designed especially (but not exclusively!) for clitorises and vaginas. It’s time to examine what these toys have to offer to penis owners, and to help guys like the fellow at my gym break out of the “penile colony” and begin to enjoy the myriad pleasures of a variety of sex toys.<br />
<br />
For starters, most women cannot orgasm through penetrative vaginal sex alone, requiring arousal and stimulation of the clitoris. Vibrators are designed to provide exactly that stimulation, and it’s little wonder that women find them so desirable. If your partner loves her vibrator, that does not mean she doesn’t <i>also </i>love your touch. Rather, it indicates that she’s found the perfect combination of a partner <i>and </i>a vibrator to bring her to orgasm. Guys are not in competition with vibrators—they are our accomplices in giving joy and pleasure to our partners, a fact that the fellow in my gym had yet to understand. But there’s much more to this than meets the eye (or the clitoris), so let’s explore further.<br />
<br />
It happens that vibrators work wonderfully on our male parts, too. During partner sex (of whatever form it takes), encourage your partner to apply her vibrator to your frenulum, your perineum, your nipples, or any other “turn on” spots that give you a happy buzz. A happy buzz is just what vibrators provide, often in a variety of patterns and speeds. You are sure to find several that will bring you to ecstasy more quickly than you thought possible. Once you do, you’ll then be vying with your partner for who gets “first dibs” on using the vibrator of choice. The fun and games during your partnered sex will be greatly enhanced for you both!<br />
<br />
My partner introduced me to several delightful vibrators, and now these toys have also become a great addition to my solo sex practice. While the ones designed specifically for penises are very effective, I have found that many others, produced originally with vulvas in mind, are hugely satisfying during masturbation. Playing with vibrators almost certainly will convince you that they are our friends—true orgasm enhancement tools for guys as well as gals.<br />
<br />
That conversation I overheard at my gym saddens me, because the speaker was clearly a prisoner of “the penile colony”—a believer that the only <i>real </i>sex is penis-in-vagina (PIV), with an unfortunate primary focus on his own pleasure rather than on increasing hers. Vibrators offer fun and innovative ways to break out of that unhappy mental prison, allowing us guys to recognize and experience the full panoply of delights that sex toys can provide to penises as well as clitorises. Give ‘em a try—you won’t be disappointed!<br />

<b>Dorothy Freed</b>'s <i><b><a href="https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0692113088/ref=nosim/joanprice-20" target="_blank">Perfect Strangers: A Memoir of the Swinging Seventies</a></b></i> is both one woman's personal story and the story of an era: the mid-1970s in San Francisco. Freed divorces a husband who cheated on her with her best friend and called her a "frigid bitch" because she didn't have vaginal orgasms. She goes on to explore her sexuality with whomever she chooses during 4 years of self-described "wanton promiscuity." She has plenty of sex with plenty of men, yes. But orgasms? Not so easy. <br />
<br />
Whether you had a wild side in the 1970s, or you still do, or you didn't, but wonder what that was like, Freed's memoir is honest and insightful. She navigates not only hook-ups, but her sense of self as she searches to define her sexuality in her own way -- not what her era taught or her ex-husband demanded.<br />
<br />
Now 73, Freed looks back at this time of her life with candor and the perspective of a woman who gained much life wisdom and self-knowledge (and many orgasms) since that time. I asked Dorothy a few questions:<br />

DF: 1974 to 1978 was a seminal period in my life. For the first time, I was in charge of myself and my two sons. I loaded us in the station wagon, sat in the driver's seat, and drove us across country to start over.
Later, when I examined how much I'd learned about myself in that four year span of time, I realized my story was a memoir of the swinging '70s, with historical significance, and one that needed to be shared with a larger audience.
<br />
<br />
JP: What message do you want people of our age, particularly, to get from your memoir?<br />
<br />
DF: My message is to look back on the '70s as an era of unprecedented personal freedom, a time before AIDS colored our sexual world-view in dark hues.
By the end of the memoir, my erotic behavior changed, but not because of fear of disease. I changed it because I saw no future in it. What was missing from my life was love and affection from a male partner. To achieve that, I needed to back away from my casual sex lifestyle, and focus on earning my living by making and selling my artwork -- and being open to the possibility of meeting a suitable man.<br />

The <b><a href="http://shrsl.com/1c2n2" target="_blank">We-Vibe Discover Gift Box</a></b> is a holiday gift, and much more. It's easily months of sexy giving and receiving. This curated gift box contains these 10 items for your sexual pleasure:<br />
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>We-Vibe Lube made by pjur</b>: Water-based, safe for use with silicone pleasure toys.</li>
<li><b>Tickler</b>: A "feather duster" for your tickly bits or all over your body.</li>
<li><b>Tango by We-Vibe</b>: External mini-vibe, with 8 levels and modes of stimulation. Use the flat side, the tip, or the edges, and take it in the shower or tub if you wish -- it's waterproof and rechargeable. It's made of hard plastic and transmits the vibrations very well.</li>
<li><b>Sexy Dice</b>: Sexy instructions and the body parts to use them on. Roll the dice and play.</li>
<li><b>We-Vibe Couple's Vibrator</b>: AAA battery-powered, budget-friendly version of We-Vibe's signature silicone couple's vibrator. Designed for one "arm" worn in the vagina and the other over the clitoris during partner intercourse, it's also dandy for unpartnered self-pleasure if the fit feels right. This version isn't as strong as the rechargeable models. (Hint: If you have trouble removing the paper from the battery compartment, as I did, use tweezers.) </li>
<li><b>Kegel Ball</b>: You don't have to go to the gym to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles. Insert the silicone ball in the vagina and slow squeeze - slow release for pelvic floor tone and, potentially, stronger orgasms. Silicone.</li>
<li><b>Massage Candle</b>: Sweet vanilla-scented candle, which releases massage oil. Of course you'll extinguish the fire and test the heat before you pour it over your partner, right?</li>
<li><b>Womanizer Starlet</b>: Small, travel-sized, rechargeable version of the Womanizer, which uses a delightful "pressurized air pulses" technology. Use it on the clitoris and/or any-gendered nipples. (See my reviews of my favorite Womanizers <a href="https://betterthanieverexpected.blogspot.com/2017/07/womanizer-plus-and-2go-oh-yes.html" target="_blank">here </a>and my half-hearted review of the Starlet <a href="https://betterthanieverexpected.blogspot.com/2018/06/womanizer-starlet.html" target="_blank">here</a>. Although it's not my favorite Womanizer, it will help you know whether you like the feeling enough to invest in a stronger model.) </li>
<li><b>Dusk by We-Vibe</b>: Silicone anal plug, marketed as a "beginner's butt plug" because it's smaller than most and tapered for easy insertion. It doesn't vibrate on its own, but the base is tube-<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

<span style="color: #cc0000;">11/8/2018: I'm bringing this post from 5/29/18 to the top again because I hope you'll comment. I'm especially interested to know how you would interpret the question, "Are you currently sexually active?" if a researcher asked you. (Please answer by posting a comment.)</span><br />
<br />
I'm often complaining that little is known about our age group's sexual behavior and beliefs because no one asks us. So I was delighted to learn that researchers at the University of Michigan surveyed 1,002 people between 65 and 80 about their sex lives as part of the National Poll on Healthy Aging 2018. The report, titled "<a href="https://www.healthyagingpoll.org/report/may-2018-report-sex-after-65-health-gender-differences-and-lack-communication" target="_blank"><b>Sex after 65. Health, gender differences, and lack of communication</b></a>," was released on May 3, 2018.<br />
<br />
Here are some of the findings:<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>40 percent of people between the ages of 65 and 80 are sexually active.</li>
<li>54 percent of those with a partner are sexually active.</li>
<li>Nearly 2/3 of older adults say they’re interested in sex.</li>
<li>More than 50% say sex is important to their quality of life.</li>
<li>73 percent said they are satisfied with their current sex life.</li>
<li>18 percent of older men and 3 percent of older women say they’ve taken medications or supplements to improve sexual function in the past two years.</li>
<li>Only 17 percent of older adults said they have talked with their doctor or other health care provider about sexual health in the past two years.</li>
<li>Those between the ages of 65 and 70 were nearly twice as likely as those in their late 70s to be sexually active.</li>
<li>50% of men but just 12 percent of women aged 65 to 80 said they were extremely or very interested in sex.</li>
</ul>
<br />
As I read this, I kept asking myself how they defined sex or sexually active or sex lives. Did sex with a vibrator, a partner's hand or mouth, or one's own hand count as sexually active or having a sex life? (I say yes.) I asked Erica Solway, Ph.D., co-associate director of the poll, who told me,<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
We did not define sex because we wanted the response to be based on the individual’s definition of what constitutes sex (or their sex life or being sexually active) from their own perspective. We felt this was important, but it does mean that we do not have information on what activities people were referring to when they reported they were or were not sexually active. It’s possible that two people engaged in the same activities may have responded to the questions differently based on their personal definition.
</blockquote>
<br />
I agree that our own definition of what constitutes sex is important in a study like this -- I applaud this, in fact. But I would have liked that clearer in the <a href="https://www.healthyagingpoll.org/sites/default/files/2018-05/09_May-2018-Sexual-Health-Report-Qs_0.pdf" target="_blank">poll questions</a>. For example, "Are you currently sexually active?" could have been worded, "Do you engage in sexual activity?" That may sound almost the same, but I have a hunch that many people would interpret the first question as "Do you have sex with a partner?" and the second as "Do you have sex, either with a partner or with yourself?" Asking the question differently would have raised the percentage of people who answered yes to that question, seems to me.<br />
<a href="https://www.healthyagingpoll.org/sites/default/files/inline-images/sexual-health-web-graphic_01.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="May, Graphic 1" border="0" height="141" src="https://www.healthyagingpoll.org/sites/default/files/inline-images/sexual-health-web-graphic_01.png" width="200" /></a><br />
What do you think, readers? Am I off base? How would you interpret the question, "Are you currently sexually active?" (Please answer in the comments section.)<br />
<br />
The wording of the questions is a minor quibble, though, because I understand that the poll was multiple-choice, not essay questions, and answered online, not via an interview. In the end, I'm happy that someone's asking.<br />
<br />
This report was all over the news. Here are some of the headlines:<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>CNN: "<a href="https://www.cnn.com/2018/05/09/health/senior-sex-kerner/index.html" target="_blank">Seniors, new poll says, are still sexy after all these years</a>"</li>

<li>The Guardian: "<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/science/2018/may/03/sex-a-key-part-of-life-for-people-over-65-study-says" target="_blank">Sex a key part of life for people over 65, study says</a>"</li>
<li>Bustle: "<a href="https://www.bustle.com/p/the-sex-lives-of-people-over-65-are-thriving-study-finds-so-theres-finally-something-to-look-forward-to-8980258" target="_blank">The Sex Lives Of People Over 65 Are Thriving, Study Finds, So There's Finally Something to Look Forward To</a>"</li>
</ul>
As glad as I was to see this study in the news, I couldn't help wondering why the [younger] public is so surprised that we seniors have sex on our minds and in our beds. Why would we give up something so pleasurable? Do they expect that on some predetermined birthday, we'll just say, "Sex? Been there, done that, moving on. Now help me blow out all these candles."<br />
<br />
Thank you, University of Michigan Institute for Healthcare Policy and Innovation, for conducting the study, and AARP and Michigan Medicine, U-M’s academic medical center, for sponsoring it. Let's keep talking.<br />

Sleek, handsome, comfortable, strong, and easy to hold. You'd think I was describing my latest man crush, but -- no surprise, right? -- it's a vibrator that has me sighing: the shiny purple <b><span style="color: #674ea7;"><a href="https://www.smittenkittenonline.com/products/le-wand-petite-rechargeable-vibrator" target="_blank">Le Wand Petite</a></span></b>. It also comes in a lovely rose gold. It happened that both <a href="https://www.smittenkittenonline.com/" target="_blank"><b>The Smitten Kitten</b></a> and <b><a href="https://www.lewandmassager.com/" target="_blank">Le Wand</a> </b>were eager for my opinion, and independently, they each sent me Le Wand Petite. Lucky me -- I have both colors!<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCU20ywffl5bw0VPpdutl7oNtBpBcsCd1gzPXQXyM1PfjE7mtoeZhrjq53NVHz74FaRF7uFlg6XIaZrQs84IlLChUpwnsoRErCCBMfpZ9OIixW4s9iKKi5tTD3VJuMA6fZ4OOm/s1600/2018-07-16+14.28.55-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="100" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCU20ywffl5bw0VPpdutl7oNtBpBcsCd1gzPXQXyM1PfjE7mtoeZhrjq53NVHz74FaRF7uFlg6XIaZrQs84IlLChUpwnsoRErCCBMfpZ9OIixW4s9iKKi5tTD3VJuMA6fZ4OOm/s200/2018-07-16+14.28.55-1.jpg" width="75" /></a><br />
Le Wand Petite is stylish looking and refreshingly ergonomic. Despite its 10-inch length and fairly large head, the handle tapers to under 2 inches in diameter, making it easy for arthritic hands to hold. Nice for short arms, too! And it's light. Very light. Just under 8 ounces.<br />
<br />
Like many wand vibrators, you'll feel some light vibrations through the handle, but the high-power vibrations stay focused in the comfortable, silicone head. The neck is somewhat flexible, but only a fraction of an inch unless you press hard.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.smittenkittenonline.com/products/le-wand-petite-rechargeable-vibrator" target="_blank">Le Wand Petite</a> works delightfully as a solo clitoral vibrator, and the slim wand and long handle also make it easy to give yourself clitoral stimulation during partner sex. A penis can also enjoy the stimulation -- this isn't a gendered vibrator.<br />

But is it "petite" as the name claims? Compared to the original Le Wand (I'll add my review of that one soon) or the <a href="https://betterthanieverexpected.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-new-rechargeable-magic-wand.html" target="_blank">Magic Wand</a> -- yes. Compared to the vibrators that usually accompany me on my travels, like the <a href="https://betterthanieverexpected.blogspot.com/2018/07/we-vibe-touch-and-anniversary-collection.html" target="_blank">We-Vibe Touch</a> -- no. However, it's so slim and light that it's easy to pack and carry. <br />
<br />
It's USB rechargeable and shower friendly, and comes with a zipped travel/storage pouch. The raised buttons are easy to locate by touch without looking, though you'll have to memorize which is "+" and which is "-" if you don't want to stop the action.<br />
<br />
Despite the claims of "10 rumbly vibration speeds and 6 vibration patterns," I wouldn't call the higher speeds "rumbly." The low speeds are rumbly, but get buzzier as the intensity increases. Is it as strong as my 75-year-old body likes? It's not a <a href="https://betterthanieverexpected.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-new-rechargeable-magic-wand.html" target="_blank">Magic Wand</a> or a <a href="https://betterthanieverexpected.blogspot.com/2015/05/sybian-sex.html" target="_blank">Sybian</a>, but it doesn't claim to be, and it's surprisingly powerful for a vibrator that weighs less than 8 ounces. If you want strong but don't require turbo power, you'll be happy.<br />
<br />
Full disclosure: So this happened. After several happy experiences with each Le Wand Petite, the purple one stopped turning on. It was fully charged, but would make just a quick buzz, then turn off and stay off. The marvelous <a href="https://www.lewandmassager.com/" style="font-weight: bold;" target="_blank">Le Wand</a><b> </b>people jumped to give suggestions and offer a replacement, saying this was not a problem others had reported. Then a few days later, I turned it on, same problem, but after I wiggled the head (because... why not?), it turned on and stayed on. I've tested the off/on again, with no problems. I didn't want to post a review without mentioning this, but I'm confident that it was a quirky glitch that righted itself. If you do have problems, Le Wand has a <a href="https://www.lewandmassager.com/shipping#return-policy" target="_blank">one-year warranty</a>.<br />
<br />

<i><span style="color: #cc0000;">10/14/18: I'm bringing this 4/24/18 post to the top again. I find myself recommending these vibrators often -- especially the Volta and the Cobra Libre -- and I don't want you to miss out. Be sure you use the 10% discount code at the end!</span><span style="color: #660000;"> </span></i><br />
<br />
Lucky me! I own a toy box of new vibrators from <b><a href="https://us.funfactory.com/#a_aid=Joan" target="_blank">Fun Factory</a></b>. As the name implies and the photo illustrates, each colorful Fun Factory vibrator has something playful about it.<br />
<br />
The shape may be a dolphin, a cuttlefish, a caterpillar, a race car. You can't help laughing as you try to describe it, and I'm sure that's intentional. Sex is fun. Solo sex is fun. Sex with vibrators is fun.<br />
<br />
These Fun Factory toys have much in common, so I'm doing a round-up instead of reviewing the toys individually and repeating myself. All are well-made of body-safe, medical-grade silicone and they're waterproof for shower, tub, and pool use. Most charge via a USB magnetic charger, simple as can be, and they hold a charge for a long time. Yes, I have my favorites with unique qualities, and I'll tell you what makes them special.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwSE4y6Fcpr7MZsVkxrjoGbmxSsCZpjaESn1mssm88MyCziHZdgdXQJ8-qsRdwbWLK4bPA1fy6XOrhhyyvglaR3nGG0YEYIBO0VnK6_2GKaYUijQrtuCRZqvzVPNSWt9R8h08Z/s1600/2018-04-23+11.31.36.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwSE4y6Fcpr7MZsVkxrjoGbmxSsCZpjaESn1mssm88MyCziHZdgdXQJ8-qsRdwbWLK4bPA1fy6XOrhhyyvglaR3nGG0YEYIBO0VnK6_2GKaYUijQrtuCRZqvzVPNSWt9R8h08Z/s200/2018-04-23+11.31.36.jpg" width="150" /></a>My top favorite is the <b><a href="https://us.funfactory.com/en/vibrators/volta/#a_aid=Joan" target="_blank">Volta</a></b>. It's delightfully versatile. The curved shape and vibrating tips (I think of them as "flippers") can give pleasure in several ways. For example:<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Nuzzle a clitoris by surrounding the glans (protruding tip of the clitoris) with the flippers.</li>
<li>Rest the curve of the Volta over the vulva for all-over stimulation.</li>
<li>Separate the flippers to vibrate the clitoris and the vaginal entrance simultaneously. </li>
<li>Cuddle or circle around the head of a penis.</li>
<li>Stroke the shaft of a penis with the flippers during fellatio. </li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
The Volta is not only versatile, it's wonderfully strong! Take your choice of 6 intensity levels, oh my, and 6 rhythm patterns. It's rumbly rather than buzzy, which I appreciate.</div>
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSBbFhT-CMYUzGaoOmrqZijrvoKr5kHyZ7ETJGXLJ-3Eg9YxOeCHqf2aCdzhXM7p1vMm6xEbLw_3Ijy5igu_1WdRsAJC-WOm7NNNtmk_9LSzuwY7qlgiYnftxFkUuY_q4bEfsK/s1600/2018-04-23+11.27.08.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSBbFhT-CMYUzGaoOmrqZijrvoKr5kHyZ7ETJGXLJ-3Eg9YxOeCHqf2aCdzhXM7p1vMm6xEbLw_3Ijy5igu_1WdRsAJC-WOm7NNNtmk_9LSzuwY7qlgiYnftxFkUuY_q4bEfsK/s200/2018-04-23+11.27.08.jpg" width="150" /></a>My second favorite is <b><a href="https://us.funfactory.com/en/vibrators/patchy-paul-g5/#a_aid=Joan" target="_blank">Patchy Paul</a></b> (explain that name to me, please), caterpillar shaped including two eyes.* The shape makes it perfect for G-spot penetration, or clitoral pinpointing, or curving over the vulva.<br />
<br />
I find most Fun Factory penetrative toys too girthy for pleasure, but Patchy Paul starts narrow -- 1.1 inch diameter at the tip -- and gradually increases in girth, bloop by bloop, to 1.7 inches in diameter. Unless you like really deep penetration, that widest bloop won't matter. It's also fairly flexible, making it even more comfortable. Like the Volta, you get 6 intensities and 6 rhythm patterns.<br />

Both <b><a href="https://us.funfactory.com/en/vibrators/volta/#a_aid=Joan" target="_blank">Volta</a> </b>and <b><a href="https://us.funfactory.com/en/vibrators/patchy-paul-g5/#a_aid=Joan" target="_blank">Patchy Paul</a></b> have ergonomic loop handles -- no wrist twisting required, and no problem with lubed fingers. Besides solo use, the long shape and tapered ends make them work between bodies to add clitoral stimulation during partnered penetrative sex.<br />
<br />
You can't choose between them? If you like simultaneous clitoral stimulation and vaginal penetration and you can budget for both, double your pleasure by using Volta on the clitoris and Patchy Paul vaginally. Wowza. Of course you can do that with any two sex toys that fit your needs -- I'm not saying you have to buy two new products for this experience. But Volta and Patchy Paul work especially well as a team, thanks to the shapes -- they don't get in the way of each other.<br />

If you prefer a smaller vibrator and you don't need the turbo power I prefer, the adorable <b><a href="https://us.funfactory.com/en/vibrators/cayona/#a_aid=Joan" target="_blank">Cayona</a></b> or <b><a href="https://us.funfactory.com/en/vibrators/diva-dolphin/#a_aid=Joan" target="_blank">Diva Dolphin</a></b> might be just right for you.<br />
<br />
The shape of <b><a href="https://us.funfactory.com/en/vibrators/cayona/#a_aid=Joan" target="_blank">Cayona</a></b> is designed for both penetration and clitoral stimulation via the bump, but the dimensions weren't right for me (we're all different), plus the penetrative part felt too thick, and the vibrations were buzzier than my personal preference. Sure love the color, though!<br />

<br />
The <b><a href="https://us.funfactory.com/en/vibrators/diva-dolphin/#a_aid=Joan" target="_blank">Diva Dolphin</a></b> was more comfortable for insertion, tapering gradually. It can take batteries (no charging necessary), or if you prefer rechargeable, upgrade with Fun Factory's hybrid kit. It has 4 speeds and 6 patterns. A good product, but I was spoiled by the Volta.<br />

It's designed to envelop and vibrate the head of the penis, the most sensitive area for most penis owners. Experiment with how you like to hold it and use it. MacDuff, my penis-owning reviewer, tells me:<br />

I discovered that for me, the toy works best held in what seems like an upside down position, as that better follows the upward curve of my erection. Whee! Full orgasm. Knocked me out.</blockquote>

Anything to criticize about Fun Factory sex toys? Only that they come without pouches. Sturdy boxes, yes, but who has room to store boxes? Dear Fun Factory, couldn't you include one of your sweet <a href="https://us.funfactory.com/en/extras-more//#a_aid=Joan" target="_blank">Tyvek zipped toybags</a>?<br />

<br />
Always use water-based lubricant with Fun Factory products. They can be damaged by oils and creams, so be careful with other substances on your body such as sunscreen, Fun Factory warns.<br />

<i><span style="color: #660000;"><b>9/16/18 update</b>: I'm moving this review to the top because the We-VibeTouch has become my favorite travel vibrator! It's tiny enough to pack in the toe of a shoe (not one you're wearing, of course) and so light that it adds no discernible weight to your carry-on. With all that convenience, you do not sacrifice power -- it's strong and gets the job done, so to speak. </span></i><br />

<br />
The lovely folks at <b><a href="http://shrsl.com/12j2w" target="_blank">We-Vibe</a></b> are celebrating a decade of creating pleasure products, and they sent me their latest products to sample. My favorite from <b>We-Vibe</b> is the <b><a href="http://shrsl.com/12izs" target="_blank">Touch</a></b>: small enough to be an easy travel companion, quiet, yet strong. I love the shape and its versatility -- it's curved to cover much of the vulva for all-over stimulation, or press the cupped area over the clitoris, or point the tip wherever you want it, or combine any or all of these.<br />
<br />

If you enjoy penetrative sex and need extra clitoral stimulation for your journey towards orgasm, this makes it easy and sweet. Add it for extra clitoral stimulation whatever kind of sex you might be enjoying -- penetrative or not.<br />
<br />
I had an <a href="http://betterthanieverexpected.blogspot.com/2012/02/we-wibe-touch-tango-and-salsa-small-and.html" target="_blank">earlier version of the Touch</a> which I liked, but this one I love. The earlier Touch was made of a shiny silicone -- this one is matte silicone: smooth and slick used with water-based lubricant, which enhances the sensation. It's small, weighs almost nothing, and if you're taking it as your travel companion -- which I recommend -- it takes no room in your carry-on.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiswKF43S1gSIK-_NVTwn7xClpnVy62WW47lqpq8AxyHCNZZr2P8aOjdO4XmFsZw9uheyPOz3RK4bB2VyaGbjJ4UMtUdMIYBunBJqXjRaLYNyg3ugw1dgvgMBU7TULr5dWZRhdz/s1600/IMG_5335.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1309" data-original-width="1600" height="81.5" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiswKF43S1gSIK-_NVTwn7xClpnVy62WW47lqpq8AxyHCNZZr2P8aOjdO4XmFsZw9uheyPOz3RK4bB2VyaGbjJ4UMtUdMIYBunBJqXjRaLYNyg3ugw1dgvgMBU7TULr5dWZRhdz/s200/IMG_5335.JPG" width="100" /></a>The controls are a raised button at the base, easy to find and use during use, though with lubed fingers you may need to press hard. (The two silver things are for charging.) It's completely waterproof -- who needs a rubber ducky in the tub when you have the Touch? It has 8 vibration modes: 4 intensities and 4 patterns, and is surprisingly quiet, rumbly, and decently strong. It comes with a white satin pouch.<br />

<br />
<b><a href="http://shrsl.com/12j0k" target="_blank">We-Vibe Sync</a></b> is advertised as a couple's vibrator, to be worn during penetrative sex, with the smaller end in the vagina against the G-spot and the larger end stimulating the clitoris. It's smaller and slimmer than earlier versions, and the bend between the two sections is adjustable, which is an improvement. It has an optional remote.<br />

Insert it during a shower or bath (it's completely waterproof), or just wear it around the house for a while, vibrating to get the blood flow going to the genitals, and you'll find arousal is faster and orgasm is easier. It can be used other ways and for other erogenous zones, too -- experiment and enjoy!<br />
<br />
In a long-distance relationship? Use the We-Connect app to let a partner of your choice anywhere in the world control the vibrations. Or sync the beat to your favorite music. Playtime!<br />
<br />
Thank you, <b><a href="http://shrsl.com/12j2w" target="_blank">We-Vibe</a></b>, for sending me the <b><a href="http://shrsl.com/12izs" target="_blank">Touch </a></b>and the <b><a href="http://shrsl.com/12j06" target="_blank">Anniversary Collection</a></b> for review. Happy anniversary!<br />

"Naked at Our Age is THE blog to read when it comes to sex for people over 50 - and beyond. It's fun, sexy and - if you're aspiring to a long and healthy sex life - inspiring." These words are from <b><a href="https://www.kinkly.com/" target="_blank">Kinkly</a></b>, a website about sex whose mission is "to start that conversation, answer your questions and help you discover new and exciting things about sex, love and your body." I'm honored and delighted to be chosen the <b><a href="https://www.kinkly.com/sex-blogger-of-the-month-joan-price-of-naked-at-our-age/2/17397" target="_blank">Kinkly Sex Blogger of the Month</a></b> for September 2018! <br />
<br />
This brings me joy. I love knowing that my work is appreciated! More important, it shows that we're getting closer to the time when older-age sexuality is seen as normal and fabulous.<br />
<br />
It starts with us, my generation, celebrating the joys and sharing how we address the challenges of having sex in aging bodies.<br />
<br />
Then it spreads to the bigger sex-positive community like Kinkly, CatalystCon, Woodhull, and all the sex educators and media that give me a platform to share this information.<br />
<br />
Next step: eradicate the "ick factor" that surrounds sex and aging. Okay, I'm dreaming big, but I was dreaming big when I started this blog in 2005 and wrote my first <a href="https://www.joanprice.com/books/index.html" target="_blank">book about senior sex</a>, and look what happened!<br />
<br />

<b>REVIEW OF ATOM PLUS</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<b><a href="https://www.hotoctopuss.com/atom-and-atom-plus-cock-rings/?affiliates=8e296a067a37563370ded05f5a3bf3ec" target="_blank">Atom Plus by Hot Octopuss </a></b>is an innovative new cock ring that engages the scrotum as well
as the penis. Wearing it requires some practice, some effort, and plenty of lube, but once in place the end result is extremely pleasant.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAwBkuS9ihODusxN3HyL4DwHTgp8-Ukb7Sc-zUgB_ZE4D7KwKqTHWlDB94wmuyfTk2nNtrMbPLQbMAGH3apubgd4zDB0y-jXsUP43ykCfl5QKWZ2l4MiPL0PLOxU6b8DkCLQLy/s1600/Photo+Aug+19%252C+11+32+51+AM.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAwBkuS9ihODusxN3HyL4DwHTgp8-Ukb7Sc-zUgB_ZE4D7KwKqTHWlDB94wmuyfTk2nNtrMbPLQbMAGH3apubgd4zDB0y-jXsUP43ykCfl5QKWZ2l4MiPL0PLOxU6b8DkCLQLy/s200/Photo+Aug+19%252C+11+32+51+AM.jpg" width="150" /></a>What sets <b>Atom Plus</b> apart from other cock rings is its direct stimulation of the perineum as well as the penile shaft, creating powerful sensations and more intense orgasms.<br />
<br />
The perineum is the nerve-dense area between the genitals and the anus that in most people is highly sensitive. For men it sits above the prostate gland—the proverbial “P-spot”—and excitation of the perineum often produces wonderful prostate sensations without anal penetration.<br />
<br />
The video below makes it appear easy to drop one’s balls through the opening, rotate the device 90 degrees, and then slide the soft penis through to reach “operating position.” However, I found that it took considerable work at first to stretch the Atom Plus’s opening sufficiently to get both of my testicles through.<br />
<br />
<br />
<iframe allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="157.5" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/VUS7Y6ztRjo" width="280"></iframe><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
After manual stretching alone proved insufficient, I hooked Atom Plus up to a fixed vise handle in my workshop and pulled very strongly against it. That workshop action stretched the opening enough so the “getting-it-on mission” eventually was accomplished, with copious application of water-based lube to my balls and to Atom Plus itself. The more I have used Atom Plus, the easier it has become to get everything in position.<br />
<br />
Given its name, I hesitate to use the word “explosive,” but my masturbation with Atom Plus has led to explosive orgasms.The power of these is a combination of perineal and penile stimulation, which Atom Plus accentuates beautifully. These forays are even more dynamic with simultaneous use of Hot Octopuss’s <a href="https://betterthanieverexpected.blogspot.com/2018/03/pocket-pulse-new-pleasure-for-your-penis.html" target="_blank"><b>Pocket Pulse</b></a>. What distinguishes these orgasms from those achieved using either <a href="https://betterthanieverexpected.blogspot.com/2018/04/fun-factory-sex-toys.html" target="_blank"><b>Cobra Libre</b></a> or the <a href="https://betterthanieverexpected.blogspot.com/2018/03/pocket-pulse-new-pleasure-for-your-penis.html" target="_blank"><b>Pocket Pulse</b></a> alone is the intense excitation of my perineum and “P-spot” as well as the penile shaft.</div>

Atom Plus has five different settings, and you’re sure to find one or more that flicks your bic. For me, the second and third settings are dynamite. The second setting gets my penis erect almost instantly with its steady pulsations, while the third setting brings me into P-spot heaven. Try ‘em, you’ll like ‘em!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: right;">
</div>
Although it has two separate motors the Atom Plus is remarkably quiet, emitting only soft, gentle sounds. It is made of silicone and is totally waterproof, so it can be used in the shower and is easy to clean. It charges quickly and holds a charge for a long time. However, the barely raised control buttons are not highly responsive to touch with lubed fingers, and one has to feel around a bit before being able to change settings.<br />
<br />

Aligning the small nub on the front of Atom Plus with her clitoris was difficult, and by her report, my gentle thrusting felt like a battering ram because of the hard surface of the Atom Plus.<br />
<br />
We tried several different insertion styles (gentle circular motions; partial penis insertion without Atom Plus directly contacting her; extremely slow in-and-out action) but none of these delighted her. She said that she did feel the vibrations produced by Atom Plus, however, and we giggled over her “vibrating vagina.”<br />
<br />
While some may find it nice for PIV, <a href="https://www.hotoctopuss.com/atom-and-atom-plus-cock-rings/?affiliates=8e296a067a37563370ded05f5a3bf3ec" target="_blank">Atom Plus</a> works best for me for solo sex, and for that it is a wonderful addition, a definite delight, and highly recommended!

<i><b><a href="https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0738234958/ref=nosim/joanprice-20" target="_blank">Tell Me What You Want:The Science of Sexual Desire and How It Can Help You Improve Your Sex Life</a></b></i> by Justin Lehmiller, Ph.D. is the book we've all needed, even if we didn't know it. We all have sexual fantasies, but we don't usually share them with others, even our own partners. Many of us agonize about what our fantasies say about us, or we struggle (unsuccessfully) to repress them.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
What Is a Sexual Fantasy?<br />
A sexual fantasy is any mental picture that comes to mind while you're awake that ultimately turns you on ... Simply put, a fantasy is a conscious thought that makes you feel all hot and bothered, and maybe gets some blood flowing to your genitals, too.</blockquote>
<br />
In this barrier-smashing book, sex researcher <a href="https://www.lehmiller.com/" target="_blank">Lehmiller</a> surveyed more than 4,000 Americans, ages 18 to 87, who answered 350 detailed questions about themselves, their sex lives, and their sex fantasies. The result is a solidly researched book that answers questions you probably have, such as these:<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>How common is my sex fantasy? </li>
<li>Does my fantasy mean that I'm a bad person?</li>
<li>What sorts of people have fantasies like mine? </li>
<li>Should I tell my partner about my fantasy?</li>
<li>What should I consider before acting out my fantasy?</li>
<li>What do other people fantasize about? </li>
<li>What are the most common fantasies?</li>
</ul>

Look at all these Post-Its! Instead of summarizing or interpreting Lehmiller's points, here are some of them in his own words:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Multipartner Sex: The results of my investigation reveal that the single most popular sexual fantasy among Americans today is -- drum roll, please -- group sex ... perhaps the most normal thing there is to fantasize about because almost everyone has been turned on by the thought of it.</li>
<li>Men and women are not polar opposites when it comes to their sexual psychology ... most of the things that men fantasize about, women fantasize about as well.</li>
<li>Our sexual fantasies appear to be carefully designed to meet our psychological needs -- and because those needs change and evolve over our life span, it seems that our sexual fantasies naturally adjust in order to accommodate them. </li>
<li>There's a world of difference when it comes to what turns someone on at [different] life stages ... older adults -- especially those in long-term, monogamous relationships -- are more likely to crave something fresh and new ... like an orgy or an open relationship.</li>
<li>According to my survey data, if there's one specific person who's likely to appear in your sexual fantasies, it's your current romantic partner.</li>
<li>When we feel ashamed or guilty about what turns us on, it can potentially lead to sexual performance difficulties ... the more negative emotions [survey participants] reported -- things like guilt, shame, embarrassment, fear, anxiety, and disgust -- the more sexual problems they had. </li>
<li>When the novelty of a new relationship has worn off, adding new and exciting elements to your sex life by acting on your fantasies can potentially prevent passion from subsiding and allow it to keep burning.</li>
</ul>

In my newsletter a few months ago, I asked my <a href="http://eepurl.com/cx2Nab">subscribers</a> several questions. The response was so huge that I devoted an <a href="http://betterthanieverexpected.blogspot.com/2018/04/i-asked-you-answered-part-1.html" target="_blank">entire blog post</a> to the answer to the first question: "If you're in a long-term relationship, what tips or wisdom can you share that help you keep a relationship sexy and spicy after decades together?" Read my readers' answers <a href="http://betterthanieverexpected.blogspot.com/2018/04/i-asked-you-answered-part-1.html" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<div>
<br />
<div>
The answers to the remaining questions were less plentiful but every bit as interesting and, I hope, useful. Here are excerpts:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
If you're in a relationship that's less than satisfying, what do you wish you could tell or ask your partner to bring the sexiness back?</blockquote>
<br />
* I wish she'd realize how difficult it is for me when I've tried romantic stuff and she doesn't respond. I wish she allow herself to get turned on like she used to in her 30s.<br />
<br />
* I’m 67, in a heterosexual relationship with a peer, 68, who has chronic back pain with acute flare ups which he fears and dreads. His solution for sex - on back, still as possible - leaves me frustrated. His anxiety has affected me, and I’m wondering how to speak up. Friends have suggested sex toys. I’d like to lose my own inhibitions and ask for more foreplay.<br />
<br />
* I'm in a relatively new relationship that was interrupted by breast cancer that required a mastectomy. Months after her final chemo treatment, there is no further evidence of cancer. The drugs that suppress estrogen also suppress libido. We are on uncertain ground. It's difficult to talk about, because it is such a change from pre-cancer romance. I'm not sure what it is we are talking about some of the time: is it the shock of having had cancer, exhaustion from trying to get back up to speed at work, drug effects, or is it actually the relationship? All the things that used to work, don't. It's like we're starting from scratch with a lot of baggage added. She once expressed her sense of how this relationship has gone for her as, "We were dating. Then I got cancer and everything focused on that. While you were looking after me the relationship grew deeper for you; for me it disappeared. Now I'm back and we are in very different places." Patience is the key for both of us. Psychological recovery takes longer than physical healing, we both know that. Yes, I'm in love with her and I know she loves me; she says it often.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
In what ways have you changed your ideas about the kind of relationship you'd like to have now? For example, would you be happy in a non-monogamous relationship? Friends with benefits? Marriage only? Living together without marriage? Sexually exclusive but not living together? Intimacy without sex?</blockquote>
<br />
* My sexual appetite and lack of inhibition are stronger than my husband’s. Part of me -- the randier side of me -- thinks it would be cool to have another partner. But my husband is emphatic that that would be grounds for divorce. It’s not worth it to me at this time to pursue it. Sometimes I believe that it’s attractive because, after 33 years, it’s just different.<br />
<br />
* I am involved now with a man who identifies as polyamorous. I've been strictly a one man gal, and it's been an eye opening experience to process this new paradigm. I love him, but only time will tell whether I can live a lifestyle that is so foreign to me. As I age, I am more sexually comfortable, adventurous and voracious! As a young woman I was painfully shy, inhibited, and sure I wasn't attractive. Now I feel strong, capable, sexy, attractive and free to express myself sexually and sensually. As challenging as my current relationship is, I have never had richer, more vibrant, freeing conversations with any man I have been involved with. It is a gift, and no matter what happens, I will always appreciate what this man has brought to my life.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
What's the worst thing a date or mate ever said to you? I ask this after a friend told me that a recent sex date said to him, "You're the kind of person I want to go to bed with -- but not the kind of person I want to wake up with."</blockquote>
<br />
* My marriage before it ended: "Not only do I have to have sex with you, but I'm supposed to enjoy it?"<br />
<br />
* "You're too fat to fuck." Still smarts after all these years.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
What else would you like me to know?</blockquote>
<br />
* I want to learn how to love without fear, without clinging to the safety of old thinking. How to love extravagantly, with respect at all times for myself and my partner(s).<br />
<br />
* I enjoy sex more now at age 66 because after many years, I’m more into the total experience that each encounter brings. When I was young, it was me and my partner getting to the big “O”. Now, it’s so much more. The passion, while still there, is not the rip off your clothes type passion. It’s the patience, if you will, of taking our time and enjoying each other’s bodies. It’s the expression of love and the communication that wasn’t there years ago. It’s the candles flickering in the darkness of the room. It’s the kissing and caressing. It’s the change that comes with each love making session. It’s our willingness to explore different “toys” and lubricants. Can we move and get into positions like 20 years ago - of course not. But what we can and do now that we didn’t do before is we can totally love, accept and appreciate each other for what we are. Seniors who take every bit of love making to the fullest every time.<br />

Until now, I've felt that the Womanizer clitoral stimulators got better with each new version. I've reviewed four of them here -- be sure and read these reviews to understand the lovely, suction-like, "pressurized air puff" technology and how it feels:<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>2017: <a href="http://betterthanieverexpected.blogspot.com/2017/07/womanizer-plus-and-2go-oh-yes.html">Womanizer Plus and 2Go</a> (my favorites!)</li>
<li>2016: <a href="http://betterthanieverexpected.blogspot.com/2016/03/womanizer-w500-outstanding-clitoral.html">Womanizer W500</a></li>
<li>2015: <a href="http://betterthanieverexpected.blogspot.com/2015/03/womanizer-clitoral-stimulator-clitoral.html">Womanizer W100</a></li>
</ul>
But the latest mini-Womanizer, the <a href="https://www.goodvibes.com/s/sex-toys/p/GV26764/womanizer/starlet-clitoral-stimulator?kbid=20521" target="_blank"><b>Starlet</b></a>, disappoints. I really wanted to love it, because I travel a lot, and the idea of packing a tiny (3" long and pretty much weightless) yet powerful sex toy is appealing. However...<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxBPUi-AJ3I4BZH1u2i_v71aLUEVXOb45fVxjykETRMBmA0WvF2I1R-tOhDn4SAOYm1DEjXMtHOPg3awbbmz_rMbQLE_Ru1Fg5M6AoB6ZZw_2_sY3AC6kyWCpk9O17ZcQDftwr/s1600/2018-06-01+13.47.10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="100" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxBPUi-AJ3I4BZH1u2i_v71aLUEVXOb45fVxjykETRMBmA0WvF2I1R-tOhDn4SAOYm1DEjXMtHOPg3awbbmz_rMbQLE_Ru1Fg5M6AoB6ZZw_2_sY3AC6kyWCpk9O17ZcQDftwr/s200/2018-06-01+13.47.10.jpg" width="75" /></a>The biggest problem for me is the design of the cap. I can't tell whether the issue is the size or the shape, but with lubricant, it slips right off the clitoris. My favorite Womanizers -- <a href="https://www.goodvibes.com/s/sex-toys/p/GV19545?kbid=20521" target="_blank">Plus </a>and <a href="https://www.goodvibes.com/s/sex-toys/p/GV20589/womanizer/womanizer-2go?kbid=20521" target="_blank">2Go</a> (AKA "the lipstick") -- come with a choice of two caps, so you can choose the one that fits and feels best. The Starlet only comes with one, and the part that encircles the tip of the clitoris is smaller and a slightly different shape (photo below). Without lubricant, it doesn't slip, but hey, at our age, we need lubricant.<br />

The <a href="https://www.womanizer.com/us/womanizer-starlet-fuchsia" target="_blank">Womanizer website</a> describes the Starlet this way:</div>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Every woman has the right to experience intense orgasms. Everywhere! With the practical format of the Starlet the high-end technology of the original Womanizer is also available on the go. This mobility combined with the modern design make the Womanizer a perfect companion, especially for women, who are still at the beginnings of their sexual development but nonetheless care about a patented premium product. </blockquote>
<br />
Uh, no. If you're a beginner to sex toys (and I know that many of my readers are), you deserve a product that will rock your world, not one that makes you go, "Er, how is this supposed to work?" or "Is that all?" The site also claims that you'll reach orgasm in just a few minutes. I wish!<br />
<br />
It also claims to be quiet. Only if you don't use lube. Otherwise, it's noisy. It sounds like it's slurping lubricant through a straw like we used to suck up that last drop of milkshake in 1958. Normally, I don't care about sound -- I love the <a href="https://betterthanieverexpected.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-new-rechargeable-magic-wand.html" target="_blank">Magic Wand</a> and the <a href="https://betterthanieverexpected.blogspot.com/2015/05/sybian-sex.html" target="_blank">Sybian</a>, and they're about the noisiest orgasm tools available. But an itty bitty travel companion should not be noisy.<br />

My recommendations:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>For home use, the big <a href="https://www.goodvibes.com/s/sex-toys/p/GV19545?kbid=20521" target="_blank">Womanizer Plus</a>. Powerful. Fabulous.</li>
<li>For travel, the <a href="https://www.goodvibes.com/s/sex-toys/p/GV20589/womanizer/womanizer-2go?kbid=20521" target="_blank">2Go</a>. Yes, it's a little bigger than the Starlet, but still small enough for travel.</li>

If price is a big issue, the Starlet is considerably cheaper than the other models. That would be great if it worked almost as well, but at least for me, it doesn't. As always, your mileage may vary.<br />

If you're over 50, 60, 70 and beyond -- in what ways do you feel invisible as a sexual being? E.g. from medical professionals? community services? caregivers? colleagues? dismissive attitudes from others?</div>
<br />
I'm collecting examples for an upcoming talk. Comment here or <a href="mailto:joan@joanprice.com" target="_blank">email me</a> with the subject header "Invisible." I won't use your name if I quote you. Please include your age.<br />
<br />
Here are some examples from readers of my <a href="https://www.facebook.com/JoanPriceAuthor" target="_blank">Naked at Our Age Facebook page</a> (which I hope you'll "like" if you haven't already) to get you thinking:<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
💬 I'm 64. A few years ago, I saw a male physician who began almost every sentence to me with "A woman of your age...." as if I was geriatric in every sense of the word and he needed to explain how I no longer had the physical abilities of a "young and healthy" woman. He was lecturing me on how I needed to change my expectations for my body and make allowances for those changes. The irony was his age, at least 50 himself. </blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote>
💬 I was using the free wi-fi at the Senior Center. Anything that has “sex” in it is blocked. </blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote>
💬 I'm 53, and I often feel invisible in social groups. I was in a mixed-age group once online where younger men were telling sex jokes. An older woman joined in, not flirting with them, just telling her own stories. When she mentioned being in her early sixties they flipped out, complained about feeling sick, and so forth. Honestly a lot of men my own age aren’t much better. Sometimes I look in the mirror to see if I’ve grown a second head with the way that they act. I just don’t feel comfortable flirting and being sexual the way I used to because of the negativity I keep seeing towards women over 50. </blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote>
💬 Try being a gentleman and over 70. If I compliment (all PC and non sexist) a woman under 50, I get the "dirty old man" look! Can't a compliment just be that? My wife often will compliment another gal on her fashion, and it's accepted with a smile. I wouldn't dare try that! </blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote style="text-align: left;">
💬 I <i>want </i>to be invisible, in fact miles away, when someone at a family gathering starts talking about:
their hemorrhoids<br />
* his Viagra use<br />
* how he pees in the middle of the night<br />
* how, when he was a kid, he used a piece of liver to jack off<br />
* asking pretty young women to sit close to him<br />
All of these fall under too much information (TMI). I don’t need word pictures of things I don’t want to see. </blockquote>

<br />
If you're in the second camp because you imagine (or remember from your youth) a dark, seedy, sticky-floored space with leering salespeople, customers wrapped in raincoats, and gaping orifices on the shelves, you're in for a delightful surprise.<br />
<br />
In <i><b><a href="https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0822368668/ref=nosim/joanprice-20" target="_blank">Vibrator Nation: How Feminist Sex-Toy Stores Changed the Business of Pleasure</a></b></i>, Lynn Comella, Ph.D. has accomplished a rarity: a peppy, sex-positive history book chronicling the emergence and evolution of feminist sex-toy shops. Written by a researcher, it's far from dry -- well lubricated, rather, by lively interviews with sex-toy shop owners and workers. We learn how the business of pleasure toys evolved to include sex education, inclusivity, and a feminist mission, not just sales.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
This is a book about feminist invention, intervention, and contradiction, a world where sex-positive retailers double as social activists, commodities are framed as tools of liberation, and consumers are willing to pay for the promise of better living through orgasms.</blockquote>
<br />
Eavesdrop on the conversations and struggles about what a feminist sex-toy store should stand for, what the politics should be, whether or not to sell porn, and if so, how to choose it, how to be education-based and still sell products.<br />

Learn Jennifer Pritchett's "sweaty sex toy" story. In 2003, the owner of Minneapolis's first feminist sex shop, <a href="https://www.smittenkittenonline.com/" target="_blank">Smitten Kitten</a>, opened a shipment of toys that degraded and leached greasy, noxious chemicals. This led Pritchett to spearhead the anti-toxic-sex-toy movement. "That's when Smitten Kitten's mission changed from being just another sex-positive, educationally focused feminist sex shop to becoming a business committed to environmental justice and personal health"<br />

I love today's feminist sex-toy shops. They curate their products carefully for our health and pleasure. They provide sex education to their customers. They believe that sexual pleasure is everyone's right, whatever the age, gender, sexual identity, orientation, kink, needs, desires, abilities, relationship structure, and whatever else should be in this list.<br />
<br />
Some of these stores <a href="http://betterthanieverexpected.blogspot.com/2016/09/joans-upcoming-events.html" target="_blank">hire me to speak</a>, proving that they agree with my assertion that sex has no expiration date. They advertise on this blog, voting with their wallets to support my educational mission. Please support them in return! You'll find them in the right-hand column of this blog, and yes, you can purchase from them online.<br />

<br />
<blockquote>

<br />
<blockquote>
2. If you're in a relationship that's less than satisfying, what do you wish you could tell or ask your partner to bring the sexiness back?</blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote>
3. If you're single or non-monogamous and dating, what is your safer sex policy? How do you discuss this with a new partner?</blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote>
4. In what ways have you changed your ideas about the kind of relationship you'd like to have now? For example, would you be happy in a non-monogamous relationship? Friends with benefits? Marriage only? Living together without marriage? Sexually exclusive but not living together? Intimacy without sex?</blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote>
5. What's the worst thing a date or mate ever said to you? I ask this after a friend told me that a recent sex date said to him, "You're the kind of person I want to go to bed with -- but not the kind of person I want to wake up with."</blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote>
6. What would you like to learn about sex and aging this year?</blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote>
7. What else should I have asked? </blockquote>
<br />
<br />
I got such a huge response to Question #1 that I'm devoting the rest of this post to excerpts from your answers. A later post will address the other 6 questions. (You're welcome to add your answers to questions 2-7 in the comments or by emailing me <a href="mailto:joan@joanprice.com" target="_blank">here</a>.)<br />
<br />
<br />
* My wife and I married in 1968. I believe that sexual satisfaction comes from sexual growth through constant trial and error experimentation. This leads to a constantly evolving sex life. We must be willing to try new things as long as no one is being hurt. Some will be good experiences and some bad. Keep the good and discard the bad. If we're afraid of making a mistake and have a high aversion to risk, we automatically limit our chances of succeeding or improving.<br />
<br /></div>
* At 55, we've been married almost 33 years. Both partners need to actively <i>choose </i>to keep their relationship spicy and active. Both have to be honest and frank about their desires. Don’t be freaked out if you disagree on what you’d like to do. Just treat it like every other issue you’ve disagreed on through the years: listen, suggest, compromise, and give it time.<br />
<br />

Somewhere we lost the spark. I had been taking meds that affected my erection or lack of. Intercourse was impossible. Then I got a <a href="http://betterthanieverexpected.blogspot.com/2012/10/vacuum-erection-devices.html" target="_blank">penis pump</a> that Medicare paid for. The thing looked unromantic and embarrassing to use, but with the help of "Sucker Sam," I got an erection that I could maintain and have intercourse. Now my wife really wants sex with me! She wears sexy outfits, we turn on mood lighting and music, smoke some medical herb, and break out the massage cream. We are having the best sex of our lives. I think the real key to all this is the extreme intimacy we both experience. As we put it, "Our souls touch."<br />
<br />
* Schedule sexual intimacy, and persistently but gently keep to the schedule, because at our age our hormones are no longer adequate to propel us spontaneously towards sexual activity.<br />
<br />
* We're 74, and for the last 15-20 years we have not felt the need to spice things up to maintain our sexual interest. Sex for us is about celebrating our being together, being alive with each other, and our deep caring and love for each other. We have a ritual that involves perhaps 20 minutes of foreplay leading to a few minutes up to 10 or so of intercourse, with strong orgasms for both of us. At the end it's less about physical pleasure and more the elation of saying we are still here, we can still express our love physically, and isn't that incredible?<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
* We are in our early 70s, married for over 50 years. Despite our many physical limitations, we have found ways to have an active and fulfilling sex life by using advice we have read in our sex library: sex toys, positioning pillows, timing taking of meds, and planning early morning encounters before meals interfere and energy sags. Two years ago we decided to focus on improving our sex lives from mediocre to more active, frequent and satisfying. We found a saying, "A better sex life does take some work. Couples who put effort into their sex lives have stronger relationships." We assembled a library of sex related books (we have <a href="http://www.joanprice.com/books/index.html" target="_blank">all of yours</a>!) and spent much time studying and discussing them. There is so much information available today that was not just a few years ago.<br />

* We began using sex toys (I like that you call them "tools" which is really what they are) and <a href="https://www.goodvibes.com/s/sex-toys/c/gv192/accessories/sex-position-furniture?kbid=20521" target="_blank">Liberator positioning pillows</a>. We decorated our bedroom to provide a better romantic atmosphere.
We found that the more you have sex, the more you want it and your body will adjust to enable it. We learned from our reading that when physical problems develop (sexual or otherwise), there are methods to help overcome and improve the deficiencies and this gives us confidence, which helps to keep the sexual union relaxed and enjoyable. Also exercise and diet and general good health habits are important. We are having the best time and only regret that we did not make sex more of a priority before.<br />
<br />
* At 60, I have found that the best thing is to continue to put the other partner first. In every matter, not just the sensual. I know that if I put my woman's needs, wants, and desires before my own, that I will be well rewarded by a partner who feels the same way.<br />
<br />
* I am a T2 diabetic, and neuropathy is robbing me of my sensitivity "down there." We talked about the <a href="http://betterthanieverexpected.blogspot.com/2018/03/pocket-pulse-new-pleasure-for-your-penis.html" target="_blank">Pulse </a>you reviewed -- this opened the lines of communication. Push the limits of your sex life outside the box. Keep pushing your comfort zone. Don't let 'age' stop you from experimenting and exploring. You'll be surprised at what you can do, and feel, even at our age.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
* Ask your partner if they would like to try new things, like toys or role playing. For instance, I asked my wife if she would like to spank me. This thought had never occurred to her. She considered spanking as a punishment, not as playful foreplay. We discussed how hard to strike (sensual spanking should sting a little, not leave welts), what areas of the body to spank (only the buttocks and upper thighs), and how long before the safe word came out (I always quit right after the orgasm). After a couple of trial and error sessions, she found that she enjoys playfully spanking me, as I enjoy spanking her. There is no punishment meant on either side; this is meant for playful pleasure.<br />
<br />
* As my husband and I worked to overcome a crisis in our marriage, one thing that truly helped me ease off all the pressure I was putting on him was <i>your </i>writings, Joan, on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/JoanPriceAuthor" target="_blank">Facebook </a>and your <a href="http://eepurl.com/cx2Nab" target="_blank">newsletter</a>. To read an expert telling me that masturbation was REAL sex; oral sex was REAL sex; sex with sex toys to enable us to orgasm was REAL sex? Holy shit. I realized I was having quite a bit of REAL sex, and I didn’t recognize it. I thought that because I couldn’t orgasm with intercourse anymore (it was never easy), or because sometimes I had to finish myself off alone, after 20 minutes of my husband doing everything in his power to make me come, that our sex life was deficient and substandard. How sad is that?! Two people who love the hell out of each other, are utterly compatible and fit together like puzzle pieces, thinking that they’re defective because their sex life didn’t fit the old notion of what “sex” was. I thought we were all wrong. You said we were right. In doing so, you freed me from feeling inadequate, broken, defective and damaged. My mental state, my physical state, and above all, my husband and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts.<br />

Both are silicone and look more like art objects than vibrators.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Iroha+ Tori</b> </div>
<br />
The <b><a href="https://www.goodvibes.com/s/sex-toys/p/GV22391/iroha/iroha-plus?kbid=20521" target="_blank">Iroha+ Tori</a></b> is a sweet, cushy, pretty vibrator. With its curved, birdlike shape, it doesn't scream "vibrator!" to a visitor who might see it drying on your sink counter or nesting on the side of your bathtub. Yes, bathtub -- it's waterproof.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGUGbT3Zpkb3XZAaXHP6bKQ8rymWslw1_OEvw-4VuldT4l5aYBIV7BIBOkBkbIDu86tIEvYDTrZHH7_49413nN-HM6DivnMYNMOQ7gXRpV5JoYFtBlE9odFvU32FsOnDudfPXb/s1600/2018-04-01+19.27.04.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1440" height="100" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGUGbT3Zpkb3XZAaXHP6bKQ8rymWslw1_OEvw-4VuldT4l5aYBIV7BIBOkBkbIDu86tIEvYDTrZHH7_49413nN-HM6DivnMYNMOQ7gXRpV5JoYFtBlE9odFvU32FsOnDudfPXb/s200/2018-04-01+19.27.04.jpg" width="134" /></a>I wanted to love this because it's so pretty and I love to squeeze soft, squishy objects. The vibrations, though, are only mild to moderately strong, despite 5 intensity levels and two pulse modes. For me, it's a nice warm-up, but it doesn't pack the punch I need to get more than pleasantly aroused.<br />
<br />
However, I've read several other reviewers (younger than I am) who find it perfect for a leisurely ride to an orgasm. So if you prefer vibrations that are less earth-shaking than the turbo power my 74-year-old body requires, it might be just right for you. Or -- and I recommend this often -- use it for sweet arousal for as long as you like. Then finish with a more powerful vibrator, or a partner, or a partner and a vibrator.<br />
<br />
Besides being pretty, the Tori's shape is ergonomic and easy to hold. However, the vibrations transmit through the vibrator and into your hand as you hold it, which may aggravate an arthritic wrist.<br />
<br />

So if I started with level 2, I was stuck there unless I stopped the action, wiped my hands and the control buttons, and tried again. Buzz kill. The best solution I found was to turn it up all the way to intensity 5 before starting. (Don't worry, the power won't startle you the way an all-the-way-up <a href="http://betterthanieverexpected.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-new-rechargeable-magic-wand.html" target="_blank">Magic Wand</a> would startle you -- the vibrations are never blast-off strong.)</div>
</div>
<br />
Although Iroha advertises the Iroha+ vibrators as "redefining pleasure for women," a testing assistant reported enjoying the curved shape vibrating over penis and testicles. If you have a partner with a penis, don't be selfish -- let the vibrating bird flutter over your partner's erogenous zones, as well as your own.<br />

All of these are rechargeable using an attractive, clear plastic charging case, which doubles as a storage case.<br />

It's not rechargeable -- it uses two AAA batteries. Despite this, it's waterproof! I'm not sure how to interpret this warning on the FAQ page, though: "Use in water can expose your body to the water you are using it in. Please ensure that you are using the item in a hygienic environment." Isn't that true anytime you're in water, whether or not you're using a vibrator?</div>

The instructions in the box were in Japanese. I foolishly didn't peruse the website for help until after I tried to insert the batteries by squinting at the minuscule diagram, and it took me three tries. Not my proudest moment. You don't have to go through that. Fortunately, the Iroha website has the <a href="https://iroha-tenga.com/en/pdf/iroha_zen_torisetsu.pdf" target="_blank">manual in English</a> as well as <a href="https://iroha-tenga.com/en/qa/irohazen.html" target="_blank">FAQ in English</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Using the Zen is as simple as pressing the button at the end. Unfortunately, the placement and ease of pressing led frequently to pressing the button accidentally and turning it off. I tried to train myself not to touch the end-cap button, but that made it awkward to hold. It can be used externally or for shallow vaginal insertion. (There's no flared base, so don't use it anally.)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Although the Zen claims to have these four modes -- low/ medium/ high/ pulse -- the "high" is no stronger than medium, and a gentle medium at that. I like the pillowy feel, but I'd love to have more power, much more power. If you prefer gentle, give it a try. It comes in three lovely colors: green, yellow, and coral.</div>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>If you're over 50, how is sex better now than in your youthful decades? I don't mean just the physical part of sex -- also your emotional response, ease of communication, less fear, less self-consciousness? I'd love to hear from you.</i></blockquote>
<br />
I asked this on my Naked at Our Age <a href="https://www.facebook.com/JoanPriceAuthor" target="_blank">Facebook page</a>, which I hope you'll visit and "like." We so often hear aging discussed in terms of what we lose, what hurts, what doesn't work anymore, what is falling away. But on the glass-half-full side, aging is filled with changes that are beautiful and fulfilling. My question aimed to elicit some of those thoughts, and indeed that happened. Here are some excerpts from readers' comments:<br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Enjoying. Embracing every single moment and soaking it all in. Losing all the inhibitions, life is short and here to be lived. It's no longer a race but a truly pleasurable shared experience. </li>
<li>It's all about the communication. I feel comfortable expressing what I like and talking all about sex. </li>
<li>Openness, adventure, self acceptance, passion. </li>
<li>I think by the time you’re in your 50s, you’ve established what you enjoy in a sexual relationship. A person knows what their partner likes, responds to and gives back. In youth you just wing it.</li>
<li>Not selfish. </li>
<li>Touch is an integral part of the experience for me and I teach my partner how to touch me and where and I do the same for him. I'm much more excited about exploring than I ever was in my younger days. Yes, much fewer inhibitions especially around my body and my body image. I'm less concerned with having an orgasm (because I can get that on my own) and much more focused on enjoying all the sensations. </li>
<li>Discovered that trust on all levels is a major aphrodisiac.</li>
<li>Sex in my 70s is relaxed, playful, fun, unhurried, experimental, and made wonderful by open, easy, frank communication with my partner about what we each do and don't like. Feelings of closeness and trust form significant parts of the overall experience, and our orgasms are happily extended as we pleasure one another without stress or anxiety or rush. Now is the best age in my entire life for uncomplicated, completely happy, and totally delightful sex! </li>

The <a href="https://www.hotoctopuss.com/pocket-pulse/?affiliates=8e296a067a37563370ded05f5a3bf3ec" target="_blank"><b>Pocket Pulse</b></a> is a smaller, modified, affordable model. At the time of this writing, The Pulse III Solo oscillates and costs $119 from <a href="https://www.hotoctopuss.com/?affiliates=8e296a067a37563370ded05f5a3bf3ec" target="_blank">Hot Octopuss</a>; the Pocket Pulse vibrates and costs $85.<br />
<br />
But does the Pocket Pulse work as well as the bigger models? I asked Shamus MacDuff, age 74, to take it for a ride (or two or three or ten). Did he like it? Oh, yeah. Here's what he had to say:<br />

It’s a delightful adjunct to solo masturbation, Think of it as a sex toy for penises comparable to the many sex toys for vulvas that focus on the clitoris. A tool for your tool!<br />
<br />
I've tried the <a href="https://www.hotoctopuss.com/pulse-iii/?affiliates=8e296a067a37563370ded05f5a3bf3ec" target="_blank">Pulse III solo</a>, and believe it or not, I prefer the Pocket Pulse. Both produce plenty of vibration on the frenulum but the kind of vibration differs. I especially like that the Pocket Pulse has a vibrating “gripper” across the top that when squeezed down stimulates the ridge of the cock from above.<br />
<br />
When I first tried it, I didn’t use any lube (my mistake!), and I think I anticipated that it would give me more of a jolt than it did. Then I added water-based lube, which greatly increased the buzz and the pleasure. (I know, I should have read the directions -- "use plenty of lubricant" -- but the print is minuscule and instructions seemed intuitive.) Adding lube greatly heightened the erotic feeling and led me towards a crescendo.<br />

<br />
The Pulse III worked either stroking or just holding it in place over my frenulum. The Pocket Pulse, though, requires stroking. Not a problem once I learned I needed to rub it up and down my shaft instead of holding it there. Then Waiting for Godot turned into Rushing Towards Nirvana.<br />
<br />
The Pocket Pulse is waterproof and thus very easy to clean or enjoy in the shower. (It would be interesting to use it in the pool, but I don't think my health club would like that.)<br />
<br />
I enjoyed it solo, but a big turning point for me was when my sex partner stimulated me with it to an explosive and deeply satisfying orgasm. Hence it is an excellent sex toy for both solo and partnered delight. Also it holds a charge for a long time. Bravo to Hot Octopuss!<br />

You'd think a 74-year-old man would take quite a while to reach orgasm (I'm not complaining, just observing), but not when the Pocket Pulse enters the action! Put it on (whether he's erect or not), turn it on, squeeze for intensified contact, stroke, turn up the vibrations, match the rhythm of his thrusts, and it's orgasm time. If your guy likes hand stimulation but you have wrist arthritis -- or even if you just enjoy giving him a quickie -- the Pocket Pulse may become your best friend!</blockquote>
