I enjoyed the book. I have recommended this analogy of content to my friends. In fact I have read the book twice. This is a recommended read.

Have you ever noticed that look of incredulity when adults in their 30s and 40s discuss over-60 sexuality? Next time you witness this, slip them a copy of Joan Price’s book! Not only does she debunk those myths (and snide comments) about post-menopausal women and sex, but she reminds us that we have the capacity, the tenderness, and the right to have it, ask for it, and enjoy it. I’m quite sure that no one in the States is a stronger advocate for sex after sixty…for life after sixty…than Joan Price. Imagine discussing Better Than I Ever Expected at your next book club gathering!

This book is not a sex manual but rather a warm and thoughtful guide for mature women of any age. Joan Price reminds us that sex begins in our minds and we need to accept that the changes time has brought to our bodies are not an ending but the beginning of a new way of life and love.We need to free ourselves from the popular cultural stereotypes and explore our own sexuality. Before we can cherish our lovers, we must cherish ourselves. Those of us who grew up in the ’50′s and early ’60′s may still carry and conform to an outdated sexual mindset: give it up! Bodies are made for fun, sex toys are made for fun, sexual exercises make for better fun! I expect to read this book many times and discover something new with each reading. I have recommended it to my sista’s of all ages.
Thank you Joan!

This is a wonderful book that’s not just for women over 60. Yes, it’s for them, but as a man who simply loves reading about people, this is a wonderful book of stories. These happen to be stories about “seasoned” women having sex and doing all the things everyone does when it comes to sex: thinking, wondering, worrying, and enjoying. I also read A Round-Heeled Woman and as much as I liked it, found this much more human, warm, and heartfelt. I recommend this book to anyone who even *knows* a woman!
