What do the taboo subjects of eroticism and sex mean to older women?

This poignant, brazen, and life-affirming issue of The Grandma Reporter was made through a collaborative artistic process with six elder women aged 64 to 89, and features real life love stories, erotic tales, information on the importance of healthy vaginal pH, a classy and sensual photoshoot, and a series of powerful slogans on sex, eroticism, and the power of women. Poems and reflections on intimacy beyond sex offer a necessarily expanded vision of eroticism and aliveness.
