Making Love the Way We Used To...or Better: Nine Secrets to Satisfying Midlife Sexuality

Alan M. Altman. McGraw-Hill/Contemporary, $24.95 (256pp) ISBN 978-0-8092-2496-8

Can there be great sex after 40? Alan M. Altman and Laurie Ashner (The Estrogen Alternative; etc.) use their knowledge as a physician and a psychotherapist, respectively, to offer new medical treatments and communication techniques for overcoming lost libido and boredom in the bedroom in Making Love the Way We Used to... Or Better: Secrets to Satisfying Midlife Sexuality. With aired-out honesty, Altman and Ashner compassionately state the hushed secrets middle-aged couples keep (e.g., ""The little blue pill is causing more problems in our relationship than it solves"") and prescribe a plan (e.g., for facing the emotional side of Viagra, it's important to realize that self-esteem is an issue for both men and women) to get things back on track. Agent, Jean Naggar.
