Sex and the Older WomanBy Dating Confidential On April 10, 2012 | 0 CommentsIf you follow Dating Confidential on Facebook and Twitter, you know that we like to post articles that talk about sexuality, dating and health. Recently, we shared one from the Huffington Post called "American Women, Sex and Age" that opened with an interesting fact from recent research: sexual desire doesn't wane as women age.
This isn't a surprising fact- the Dating Confidential survey has had respondents of all ages expressing a range of sexual desires and practices. But older women's sexuality is conspicuously absent from the public eye. Kristen Houghton, the author of the article, explores some of the reasons why older women are less likely to be seen as sexual beings.We appreciated that she raises a variety of internal and external factors- not only changing bodies and libidos, but also social norms about sexuality that have changed over time and mass media depictions of sex and sexiness.
Houghton also emphasizes that every person deserves to have a health care provider who considers sexual health and desire as important as other aspects of your health. Too often people feel embarrassed or discouraged from talking about sex with their doctor, but as this piece reminds us, sex keeps us healthy, happy and living longer!

International Women's Day!By Dating Confidential On March 08, 2012 | 2 Comments
Dating Confidential is a study promoting women's health. In order to improve sexual health services and education for women, we need a better understanding of their health needs! That's why by filling out the survey, and forwarding it to friends, you are helping to improve the health and education of women across North America. Thank you for your support! One of the reasons Dating Confidential is necessary is because women are staying single longer- dating and having new relationships throughout their life. This is partly because there are many more opportunities for women besides early marriage & children. Women are staying single to pursue their education or careers, or raising children outside traditional marriages, or re-entering the dating world after long relationships! These are great advances that require new research so that the health and education services can keep up.
