VERO BEACH — They say, “You’re never too old to fall in love again.” Women over the age of 50 are learning that they can get that loving feeling again and they don’t need a pill to make it happen. Once considered taboo, sex in the golden years is no longer a hush-hush topic nor is it a fantasy. It does, however, mean different things to different people.
Instructor/facilitator, Claudia Jimenez, will begin the conversation with women over 50 with a series entitled, Other Shades of Grey: Women Exploring Sexuality After 50. The series will consist of four Thursday sessions, beginning Oct. 11 and continuing on Oct. 25, Nov. 1 & Nov. 15. Each session will be held at the Center for Spiritual Care in downtown Vero Beach from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.
The cost is $20 per session or $75 for all four sessions.
Jimenez is AASECT certified (American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists). She believes that sexuality is a positive, life affirming force that is often misunderstood because of society’s inability to discuss it in a healthy informed manner.
Jimenez teaches a comprehensive sexuality education program, Our Whole Lives or OWL, and has taught components of the OWL Program to teens and adults during the last 8 years.
The course will be limited to 12 participants and the first session will help to set the tone for the sessions that follow. Possible topics include but are not limited to: Sexuality Today; Sexuality: What’s spirituality got to do with it? Grandparents: Sexuality Educators Par Excellence; Discover the Sexual Self – from problems to possibilities; Sexual Decisions after 50 -What’s your opinion?
