Good Vibrations Guide to Sex.

Straightforward information on all manner of topics related to sex, including aging, changes in libido, masturbation, etc. A must read for both partners. (See online below for www.goodvibes.com.)

Block, Joel. Sex Over 50.

Every chapter in this book is great.  In-depth discussions about relationship issues, changing body image, self esteem, how medical conditions change your sex life, lots about libido and detailed "how-to's". Another must read for both partners.

Schnarch, David. Passionate Marriage.

A good guide to achieving greater intimacy with your partner, both physically and emotionally. Very strongly recommended.

Stubbs, Kenneth Ray. The Essential Tantra: A Modern Guide to Sacred Sexuality.

Discusses a spiritual, sensual way of relating. Good section on sensual massage for couples. Mystical in some sections towards the end, which may put off some people.

Anand, Margo. The Art of Sexual Ecstasy.

A little far-out for some people, but this is basically Tantric sex for Westerners. Good ideas on how to relearn touching, and how to make your sex life more spiritual.  Some people will be put off by it, others love it.

Baker, Nicholson. Vox.

A wonderful erotic novel. Tasteful. A good thing to start with, reading to one another.
