Joan Price

Joan Price is an award-winning author, speaker, and advocate for ageless sexuality. Joan has been Senior Planet’s “Sex at Our Age” columnist since 2014.

“There are so many misconceptions about sex and aging that people don’t realize that with the right information, they can enjoy quality sex lifelong. It won’t be the same as young sex, but it can be satisfying, spicy, and intimate. It’s my mission to share information in a clear and inviting way so people feel empowered sexually.”

Meet Joan
