We don\\u2019t want the battery dying at a critical moment.\\n* An adult toy should be comfortable for arthritic hands (ergonomic).\\n* The controls should be easy for aging eyes to see.\\n* We need to be able to hold on to them with slippery fingers, so they should be easy to hold.\\n* These devices should be made with non-toxic materials. There are no laws governing this like there are for dog toys or baby toys.\\xa0 (Who knew?)\\n* Aging women may prefer slimmer senior sex toys.\\n\\nJoan has several books including:\\n\\n* Ultimate Guide to Sex After 50: How to Maintain \\u2013 or Regain! \\u2013 a Spicy, Satisfying Sex Life;\\n* Naked at Our Age: Talking Out Loud\\xa0\\n* Better Than I Ever Expected: Straight Talk about Sex After Sixty\\n\\nShe also offers classes and webinars, and you can find out more information on her websites:\\nwww.joanprice.com\\xa0 or\\xa0 www.nakedatourage.com\\nDownload today's FREEBIE:\\n33 reasons that sex is good for you (especially at our age)\\xa0HERE.\\nSpecial Thanks to:\\n\\n* Angie Strehlow who helps us get great guests that help us with our retirement lifestyle while keeping everything on track\\n* Les Briney who edits the show and makes my guests and me sound terrific\\n* Lesinda Tubalado who helps keep the website up to date\\n* YOU the listener for letting other people know about this show by sharing on social media, and telling your friends about it\\n\\nThis post on Retirement Lifestyle first appeared on http://RockYourRetirement.com"
