INTIMACY IN LATER LIFE
a course on prejudice and remarkable findings

Why this course is crucial for you

This course is about love and sexuality. The fact that we mention these two concepts separately and do not speak of love alone is typical for our approach. There is probably no subject as sensitive in many cultures as the concept of sexuality. Love is a core concept in all cultures. Unfortunately, for many, their love life has deteriorated over the years. And what is worse, the topic is not negotiable for many. This course provides a start and will also be of crucial importance to many.

More about the course

Most of us struggled throughout our childhood to make sense of sex. 

Only when the time came was there a sigh of relief, but also something that was a deep secret. 

You didn’t talk about it. In this sense, sex has become a concept that is mainly linked to a first relationship. Marriage is also a marker with all the associated discussions: sex before marriage or sex after marriage.

For many, this early phase is often considered a true anchor point for sex. Sex when you are 80…. do not make me laugh…. 

This course shows clearly that things can be different!
