Intelligent, thought-provoking and delightfully candid, Towards a Soulful Sexuality: new perspectives of sex, age & menopause for woman 35 to 60 plus by Adele Gruber separates fact from fiction in regards to a woman's sexuality after menopause. With startling insights and meticulous documentation, this bold proposal proves to be a fascinating and celebratory examination of what it should mean to be an older woman in the twenty-first century. A truly revolutionary book that brilliantly distils history, anatomy, sexology, psychology and even quantum physics into remarkable and powerful suggestions to prompt adult women to reexamine the nature of sex, love and spirituality. Comprised of a manifesto, a healing workbook and a self-assessment questionnaire, the journey begins with a thorough history of female sexual anatomy and the timeless misconceptions of menopause and old age. Incorporating three condensed histories full of intriguing facts, the author dissects dichotomies of menopause and stereotypes of ageing women to supplant past perceptions of ageing women with a new bias towards modern Western sexology and Eastern esoteric secrets. Next, she outlines the essential nature of sex from the physical to the metaphysical to challenge readers' core beliefs about body, mind, spirit and sex. Additionally, the healing workbook, "Working with your Sexuality", is a personal program of reflections, memories, exercises and meditations to enable readers to better understand their own personal patterns and history around the issues raised in the text.
