Customer Reviews

Great information made readable and fun.

There are lots of books on sex out there but this one makes the topic approachable. The Q & A format and the humor throughout the writing make this book a winner for those who want to learn more about intimacy without being embarrassed. It's been fun and insightful to read. I would highly recommend it to my fellow males.

Buy this book!

A great book! This is a wise, accessible and hopeful book. Sallie Foley offers expert advice with a sense of humor and she delivers on a promise that many (even good) things can be better.

A Fun Read

Great book: I learned some new "tricks" and enjoyed the read. This short question and answer format was a nice change from the usual help books. It lets you catch a glimpse into the lives (and bedrooms) of real people- allowing you to see that other people are going through this stuff too and there are creative solutions that we may not think of. So many topics are covered, from problems in the bedroom to solutions to pesky in-laws. And my favorite- the "nuclear family war" I first heard of this book and this author in her AARP "Modern Love" column- I like her style.

The title says it all.

Finally, a book for those of us over (and in some cases way over) the age of forty. Sex and Love for Grownups addresses, using a question and answer format, the type of issues that puzzle and frustrate those of who remember when Watergate and Woodstock were current events. The text is well organized. Those seeking advice for specific problems can zero right in on the sections that pertain to them. The author, Sallie Foley, offers advice that helps pinpoint the problem and then follows with concrete plans of action all delivered in a highly entertaining style that is both frank and witty. This is not a niche book written for just those recovering from a divorce, seeking to find companions, or struggling with marital problems. The section titled "Making Love" presents ideas that even the happiest of couples will find helpful. I don't buy a lot of books but after browsing a few minutes through Sex and Love for Grownups in a bookstore, I knew I needed to own this book.

must have for any married OR single adult!!!

I picked up this book because I look forward to the "Modern Love" columns in my AARP magazine. I expected it to be quick, witty, and entertaining. It met all my expectations, AND MORE. I found that not only did it contain all sorts of advice for my husband and me, but also guidance for my single girlfriends navigating the dating scene in their golden years!! Ms. Foley is "down-to-earth", confronting stereotypes and fears with honesty. There was no "fluff" in this book, NOTHING that made me think "c'mon, that will never happen". I found the advice practical, yet novel, and even inspiring. I walked away thinking that after 35 years I was seeing my relationship in a new light. THANK YOU!
