Overview

There are two kinds of people in the world - Those who think sex is important... and everyone else. Whether you're married, single, or somewhere on the journey to changing either of these states, this book will help you rethink and refresh your sexuality in your middle and We turn fifty and what happens? The jokes start, about what doesn't happen anymore. Sex and dating is hard enough at any age without the added assumptions that we're all too old for it. Especially because as it turns out, we're far from too old... in fact many of us are enjoying the best sex and the most fun in our relationships than ever. 50 is the new 30 it seems, and Dixie Carlton has set out to explore exactly what that means, vertically and horizontally. From endless conversations, with all kinds of people aged 50 and over, she has determined who is doing what, what the 'new normal' might be for many of us and delivers it in a chatty refreshing way. She's not a former sex worker, or a trained sex therapist, just your everyday 'girl next door' - although sporting a few extra wrinkles now - and a passion for starting conversations about all the fun we're having in our mid and later years. Dixie shares: - Spontaneity tips and dating tricks, - Seduction ideas to enhance any meal, - A basic road map to finding hidden sensual pleasures, including elusive pleasure points, - How hairdressers can identify who's getting it and who's probably not, - Exactly why some of us are walking around with extra satisfied smiles AND... How to start having those tough conversations about what you want, and don't want from your partner. Whether you're married, single, or somewhere on the journey to changing either of these states, this book will help you rethink and refresh your sexuality in your middle and later years. At the very least - this book challenges the way we talk about sex, with each other, our friends, our kids, our parents, and with ourselves. (Please note - the contents of this book are the same as for 'That Sex Book' but with an alternative cover and title - for anyone worried about their kids or friends finding books about sex in their library.)

"Because great sex is far more than the act itself, Dixie's book covers much more than what happens when two bodies come together. This is a treatise on sex as a part of a life filled with joy and fun, but also a guide to navigating the frustrations, complexities, and nuances of self-image, libido, spontaneity, trust, and intimacy. While the book is written with single 50-something women in mind, it offers meaningful insight and advice for people of any age or gender. Dixie Gillaspie, Author, Just Blow It Up, Firepower for Living an Unlimited Life (USA) A fun read, with some thought-provoking moments as well. Dixie Carlton has done a great job examining the facts, fiction and fun surrounding sex for over fifties. Certainly, good food for thought for anyone over fifty or even approaching that magic number. Lindsay Adams, The Relationships Guy and Author of The DNA of Relationships (AUS) ""That Sex Book' is the conversation that needs to be had. There's not enough out there that broaches the subject with the realness and vulnerability that Dixie manages to present it. This is not a titillating adventure, it's the kind of book that couples can read chapter by chapter while discussing what works for them, what bothers them and what their fears and fantasies are in a safe environment. Whether you're single or in a long term relationship, it's a great human approach to the subject we don't speak enough about."" Anne Noonan, Megastar Silver Yogi, (AUS) I loved That Sex Book - it has so much value and as a long term married woman I have learnt a great deal. Heather Waring Founder Women Walking: Women Talking (UK) I'm 51 years of age and sex was something that I grew up being told 'we don't discuss that in public'. By opeining up ome of the subjects we all wonder about, it will allow the conversation to flow more easily in those areas. Good on you Dixie for bringing a great topc to people's minds on areas we really all want to know others' thoughts and feelings on. Sex is part of most people's life and there is no reason that it shouldh be a taboo topic but sadly somehow that is exactly what has happened. You made me laugh and some of the quotes are a little confrontig but in a such a good way. Tracey Mathers, MD Tracey Mathers PL, (AUS)"
