Dr. Pepper Schwartz has always encouraged women to embrace
their sexual appetites. After three decades of answering
people's questions about their emotional, sexual, and
romantic lives; after writing several books on sex and
relationships; after thirty-five years as a sociology
professor at the University of Washington, she has formed
firm opinions about sex and relationships. However, when her
own situation changes, when she becomes a single woman after
twenty-three years of marriage, she has to reevaluate and
discover how sex and dating can work for her at this unique
time in her life. Masters and Johnson, the famous sex researchers concluded
that you can have sex, and want sex, way into old age, if
you never stop doing it. And Pepper is very sure that she
never wants to stop doing it. Now, she must make the effort
to put herself in the running—getting in shape physically,
emotionally, and spiritually—and figure out ways to meet
worthy and available men. Ideally, she would like to have a
serious relationship, but if that isn't in the cards, she
still wants sex and companionship. And while she may feel as
sexually alive as she did when she was twenty-five, the
number and availability of men has changed. So, how do you look for a life partner after fifty and enjoy
sexual adventures along the way? Prime is Dr. Pepper's response to this question. It's her
story of exploration—sex, adventure, and romance—spread out
like a road map for women of every age, because even as she
is telling her own tale, she doesn't forget to exercise her
talent for advice. Whether you're looking to wake up a tired
sex life, start a new relationship, explore cyber-dating,
indulge in a four-hand massage, flirt with gigolos on
vacation, or commit to the love of your life, you can find
tempting tips and genuinely helpful guidance. The prime of life has lengthened and as Dr. Pepper's
experiences show, it would be wrong not to live every moment
to the fullest. Calling for a brave and creative
reevaluation of what is possible in the second half of
women's lives, Prime invites every woman to relish her
sexuality, take risks, and go after what she really
wants—whether it's a sandwich or something substantially
more satisfying. . . .
