Is Sane Sex for All Ages?

I was asked recently if the sane sex message applies to people of all ages. It does, although people may receive it differently, depending on their age. First of all, sane sex is a common sense approach to handling physical intimacy when dating. It nurtures both parties emotionally and physically and is much more likely to lead to a wonderful sexual experience than superficial or casual sex is. Putting emotional intimacy ahead of physical intimacy means we’ll be sharing ourselves with someone we’re really close to and care about. Why wouldn’t that apply to people of all ages?

The bottom line, as you’ve heard me say before, is that having sex is a big deal. Now this may be new information for someone under the age of 30. It wouldn’t surprise me if this never occurred to a college student or twenty-something, given the images shown on MTV, the plots of popular television shows, and the antics portrayed in movies where sex during the first encounter is common. This message will resonate with most baby boomers and people over 40 in general, however. We were raised with an appreciation for the intimacy of sex and at least the privacy, if not the sanctity, of our bodies. So the safe sex message is a reminder to these more mature singles.

New information or a familiar message, either way sane sex makes sense for dating singles of all ages. Commit to being and having the best today and every day.
