Welcome to Get A Second Wind. My mission is to champion the rights of all adults at midlife plus to redefine, invigorate, and enjoy relationships, intimacy, and sexuality. Some of you visiting Get A Second Wind will be professional care givers, administrators, and staff who are advocating for the rights of later in life adults. Some of you will be midlife plus adults who are dating, learning to be single, or re-igniting the fire in a relationship – and you have questions, galore! There are answers for all of you, here.
Here, you will get accurate information about sex, intimacy, and relationships in the second half of life. In our blog posts, you will pick up new ideas and tips about the issues of relationships, intimacy, and sexuality that are unique to us, later in life.
This blog exists to answer the burning questions that you need answered but you don’t know who to ask – to listen and rally round you, addressing and sharing the concerns, challenges, and humorous predicaments that arise. Everything changes at midlife: we find ourselves dealing with sexual issues and intimacy dilemmas we never considered before.
The best way to use this blog is to participate. I invite you to comment after the posts. Read and respond to what others are saying. Ask questions. Email me and find out what you need to know. Arrange to have a private consultation for you or your care giving community. Participate! Ask! … and be titillated from time to time. This blog is for you.

I was diagnosed with Multiple Myeloma in July 2003. After having 2 stem-cell transplants, 5 different chemotherapies, my doctors telling me that I either “almost” or “could have” died 5 different times and after 5 years my libido is starting to return, I have been doing research on cancer vs. sexuality, but have not come up with much. iIf there is anyone out there who would like to talk about our cancers, please contact me!
