looking to talk to older adults about sex

July 7, 2009 2:56 PM

I am a Toronto-based artist researching aging and sexuality for an upcoming project. I'm looking to talk to people over the age of 65 who can be quite candid about their sexuality. I'm looking for suggestions as to where I can find people to talk to. I'm trying some obvious places like Craigslist and Lavalife with some success and wondering if anybody has any other ideas. And if the people live in/around Toronto, that's even better, but not essential. Thanks.

gay.com may be useful. I'd also suggest the Black Eagle (bit north of Church & Alexander) for getting an older leatherman drift on things. You may also wish to look at the 519 community centre for seniors groups.

You might also want to try the Performing Arts Lodge, which is a retirement home for performers--likely to get people open about discussing sexuality there.

You might also check with Come As You Are; they may let you put up a flyer or something in the store.

Check with a local retirement community or senior center.
