Written to appeal to men as well as women, Mature Friendships, Love, and Romance: A Practical
Guide to Intimacy for Older Adults is a serious book about love, romance, intimacy, and sexuality,
as well as friendship and family. It is about what happens when older adults lack close relationships
and about practical ways to address that isolation and loneliness.

Through personal stories and vignettes, readers will see how notions of friendship, intimacy,
and love change as we age, what mature love is, and what factors can make it challenging. Among the
topics discussed are late-life divorces and breakups of long-term relationships; finding new and
intimate friendships; resolving problems with adult children that can emerge when you enter a new,
loving relationship; and choosing activities to increase your pool of potential friends and mates.
Internet dating is addressed, as are the general thoughts and actions of happy people who agree life
can start at 60.
