"To some people, age is just a number. But to others, it's a gift." A massive chunk of my readers and fans are over 40. Some are even in their 80s. And they're still kicking it in their relationship and the bedroom, in unique ways. One of my readers just emailed me about getting back in the dating game once again after decades of being with a lover. Where should one start? Are new love and passionate sex still possible after 60? Check out his email and my response below.

And when I do, how do I handle breaking the news of the dreaded genital herpes? Because the last thing I want is some young woman to have to put up with what I have since I was 19." ć¼Chase (not his real name) Hi Chase, I'm glad you are getting yourself back out on the dating circuit.

But when you read those herpes articles, pay attention to the fact that herpes can break out on your lower back and other places and not just directly on your genitals. So that thing you thought might be a pimple could be herpes. Be extra aware because you know how much it sucks to have herpes. Herpes viruses are a lifelong plague.
