Fearful that signs of aging are turning off the right person? Discover what to do about this fear.
I received the following email from a young man who had read one of my articles:
"One topic that I feel that I haven't seen covered much is the issue of body-image related stress, anxiety and insecurity, and how to fight it. We all age. Personally, I am 27 years old, and rapidly going from a handsome full-headed young man to a completely bald individual in a very looks-dependent society.

Common myths about sex in midlife and beyond -- busted.
Judging from the images the popular media puts forth, you'd think sex was only for 20-somethings. Nothing is further from the truth. Sex at midlife and beyond is a subject mired in confusion and misinformation. Here are some common myths, and the straight story about sex after 50.
It happens in so many later-middle-age relationships: The man, a few years older than the woman to begin with, shows signs of aging at a faster pace than the woman does, leaving her frustrated on a number of levels. If this is simply a dating couple, and the woman isn't fully committed to the relationship, she may bolt at this point.

Most women, though opt for less extreme solutions…while others simply sigh in resignation or grouse to their friends. Fortunately there are some answers.

We propose that this period known as the empty nest be reintroduced to society as synonymous with renewal, abandon and the best sex of your life—because it should be.
