   Thank you for this thoughtful post acknowledging the existence -- and the benefits! -- of elder sexuality. You're right that it's a wonderful and vital part of life for many of us. Thank you also for mentioning my book and my blog, where we're talking about sex and aging. I'm grateful that you're letting your readers know about both!
