Reviews

"""Ageing and Sexualities contributes to a gap in ageing research and policy, by focussing on the needs of older heterosexual and LGBT people. Drawing on interdisciplinary research, Ageing and Sexualities highlights important issues for research, policy, and practice. The international authors critique current assumptions and frameworks to raise important questions that are relevant for all scholars engaged in research on ageing.""— Christine Stephens, Massey University, New Zealand ""This fascinating collection directly challenges the notion that sexuality and ageing are incompatible. Through exploring these processes from different perspectives the contributors develop new insights. Wonderful and exciting reading.""— Michael Murray, Keele University, UK ""This book is a must have reading for persons who want a comprehensive picture of ageing and sexuality in contemporary society. New ideas and issues addressed include the pros and cons of the 'sexy oldies' stereotype and the impact of the biomedicalizing of sexuality and the introduction of sexuopharmaceuticals in the mid-1990s.""— Gloria M. Gutman, Simon Fraser University, Canada "" … provide[s] insight and illumination on these two lenses of the human condition that are intricately bound together ... offers a welcome and significant contribution to the emerging field of ageing and sexuality research"" - Orla Parslow-Breen, Psychology of Sexualities Review"
