LOS ANGELES—Author, educator and advocate for ageless sexuality Joan Price has been invited to the next Everyone Deserves Sex Ed 25-hour sex educator certification program, scheduled April 18-19 and 25-26 in Los Angeles.
"When it comes to sex and aging, the conversation often leaves out pleasure, connection, and problem-solving (if it happens at all), and I’ve built a career out of making sure these conversations happen and are taken seriously,” Price said. “Sex and intimacy are important parts of the human experience and these needs and desires don’t go away at a certain age! This is why I love opportunities like this to teach sex educators, service providers, and other professionals how to reframe their perspectives on senior sex so they can better serve their clients.”
Price facilitates candid discussions about the health and social impacts of aging and how they correlate with sexual pleasure, health, identity and more, giving EDSE attendees a stronger understanding of these talked-about but often misunderstood subjects.
At age 76, Price talks out loud about senior sex, partnered or solo, in speeches, workshops, and webinars, and on her zesty blog, which includes senior sex news, views, and sex toy reviews from a senior perspective. Price is known publicly as a “senior sexpert,” “the beautiful face of senior sex,” “wrinkly sex kitten” and—her favorite—“the woman leading a sex revolution for seniors.” Most recently she teamed with sex educator and award-winning adult star Jessica Drake to co-create Jessica Drake’s Guide to Wicked Sex: Senior Sex for Wicked Pictures, which just received the 2020 AVN Award for Best Niche Production – a historic first for mainstream adult entertainment.
EDSE founder and lead educator Anne Hodder-Shipp, ACS, tapped Price to teach this portion of the certification because of her enthusiastic and candid teaching style, as well as her professional understanding of how sexuality and identity shift over time. An acclaimed author of multiple books, including the award-winning
Naked at Our Age: Talking Out Loud about Senior Sex and Sex at Our Age columnist for SeniorPlanet.org, Price is skilled at providing important information packaged in accessible ways.
“I’ve been a fan of Joan’s for years and I jumped at the opportunity to bring her into the EDSE family to facilitate the Sex and Aging discussion,” Hodder-Shipp said. “Joan’s passion and enthusiasm for the subject matter is palpable and I’m honored that she agreed to join our team. EDSE attendees receive an education about sex and aging that’s insightful, compassionate, and fun to experience, and I’m excited to work with Joan again this spring.”
The next EDSE certification will take place April 18-19 and 25-26, in Los Angeles. Individual certification is $2,095, and payment plans are available to those in need.
