In reply to Dave 85. , Dave! Yes, but it’s an honest bias. I have learned an enormous amount from Joan.

In reply to Jane Reiter.

Jane, there are some creeps and villains who use online dating to find their victims, but if you’re savvy and know the warning signs, you can avoid them. Most of the people are genuine human beings who are looking for a connection, as you are. Don’t write off online dating — it’s where the people are.

I have a 90-minute webinar that you’ll find helpful: “How the Heck Do I Date At This Age?” available from https://joanprice.com/webinars .

Thank you for your kind words about Sex After Grief!

In reply to Mac Marshall. Right on Mac ! You have the pleasure of being just a tad biased as well.

I have only started reading your column in the last several years, but it has been incredibly helpful for me. I’m not alone; I think that’s something I have learned from your columns that makes me feel better. How many of us have felt “weird” because we had no idea that so many others were experiencing the exact same thing? Thank you, Joan, for talking about these things that NEED to be talked about!!!

Hello Joan, I just finished reading “Sex After Grief” and found it most helpful and encouraging. As a 66 year old heterosexual widow, I am beginning to try and seek out dating and companionship. What is your advice for those of us who do not include church/spiritual community and more but wish to meet other single men? My therapist strongly cautioned me to avoid online dating sites, due to potential danger of robbery and violence. It is tough to meet single straight men over 55–for me so far

Happy Anniversary Joan. Your advice and comments over the decade have helped a lot of us open communication with our partners. You have also made many of us realise that we are not alone whilst dealing with a concern in our relationships which we thought were unique to us alone. Here’s hoping for another 10 years.!

Reading through all 123 of Joan Price’s columns plus the comments was an extremely interesting and educational enterprise. As an 80-year-old I gained much new insight into many of the issues that affect our sexuality as seniors. And in the process I developed enormous respect for Joan’s wisdom and sensitivity in addressing our collective concerns. Thank you Senior Planet for bringing her to us.
