ABOUT THE SESSION

Sexuality and desirability in older age is still something of a taboo. This reading session will explore a number of stories which aim to shed light on the way sexual encounters between older men are portrayed in fiction and essays, looking at how older bodies are described and some of the challenges faced by older men from different backgrounds.
