I’ve been a physician for more than twenty-eight years, and my practice is predominantly geriatric. While I am not a gynecologist or sex expert per se, having been board certified in both Internal Medicine and Cardiovascular Diseases, I've seen the full spectrum of conditions which affect both men and women fifty plus, and have witnessed first-hand their affects on men's and women's sexuality.
The Gramma Sutra fills a niche which is generally lacking in the realm of women's sexual health information. Not only does it deliver sound advice, but it does so in an amusing and captivating way.
From a physician’s standpoint, the best thing that people can do for their sex lives is to be as healthy as they can be — in a general way. Diet, exercise and disease prevention are the keys, and there are lots of things people can do today that can have a profound medical impact on their lives, especially with regard to blood pressure (BP) control, lipid management and smoking cessation.
A patient of mine, who is now in his mid eighties and still practicing dentistry, once told me that he had discovered the fountain of youth: "Exercise"! I have no doubt that he’s right. He's in as good, or better shape than his wife fifteen years his junior.
I have another patient, a ninety year old retired physician who exercises daily and remains sexually active. Conversely, I have patients in their forties and fifties who are overweight, inactive and smokers . . . and all of them have problems already.
Due to shifting demographics, the ageing of America is accelerating, and it’s more important than ever before to get information about sex and sexual health out to women of a certain age. The Gramma Sutra does just that. This book is not only chock-full of sound advice, but it’s funny and entertaining as well.
