Building on the work of the previous volumes in the Sex and Intimacy in Later Life series, this book explores how resexualisation may take place in later life.
Drawing on transdisciplinary and international content, it provides a theoretically and experientially informed overview and discussion of resexualisation, highlighting important areas of research in a nascent area of study.
This volume covers a range of sexual identities and ageing populations, blending cultural representations and current research to highlight the possible forms and practices that can lead to the creative enabling of pleasure.
