Sexuality is Ageless

The article "Sexuality is Ageless," written by Jean Buzan and published in Kinesis in September 1983, was reproduced by the Vancouver Women's Health Collective (VWHC) for the information package on menopause. The article addresses stereotypes and women's sexuality as they age. Buzan argues that social stigma associated with aging is detrimental to women, who do not, despite popular belief, lose their sexual drive after menopause. She suggests several possibilities for women seeking sexual gratification in old age, including masturbation, lesbian partnerships, and threesomes.
