reading this review, reminds me of my own journey through the post divorce middle age dating scene.... personal ads looking for love and/or sex, online chatrooms, online dating, anonymous meetings...

Dr. Pepper Schwartz writes with the best of intentions. Prime is perhaps one of the most heartfelt and honest attempts to help women understand that midlife can be – perhaps has to be – the sexual prime of life. In this respect, Prime deserves the same praise as Betty Friedan’s Fountain of Age (Simon & Schuster, 1993) Friedan’s agenda was similar to Pepper Schwartz’s. Years ago, she reminded her readers that old age should be anadventure. Prime is significant because it gives older women the hope and confidence they need to make their lives sensual and lush.

i volunteer to write the working class version of prime, it would not include massages in bali but it would be as erotic and life transforming. mine ends in a very comitted relationship with the man who started out as my master 5 years ago.

albeit in a cold, rainy foreign country...
