Everything You Always Wanted to Know About
Tantra…But Were Afraid to Ask: an Interview with Miranda Shaw
When Professor Miranda Shaw looks at women in Tibetan paintings, she does not see colorful two-dimensional figures born of an artist's mind. She sees "numinous, sky-borne women," "revelers in freedom," "enchantresses of passion, ecstasy and ferocious intensity"—radiant reflections of the powerful, enlightened women who helped to shape the world of Buddhist tantra. Miranda Shaw is the author of Passionate Enlightenment: Women in Tantric Buddhism.

Seniors and Sexuality: Making Love for a Lifetime Myths and stereotypes about aging and sexuality would have us
believe that sex is primarily for the young. Not so! Recent
national survey data show that seniors are sexually active and
interested. The reality is that experienced, mature and
confident seniors can be better lovers, no longer struggling with
youthful ignorance, anxiety and insecurities, career stresses and
family responsibilities. There are aging-related physical and
psychological changes as well as some medical conditions which do
affect sexual functioning. Practical suggestions for dealing
with these challenges encourage seniors to be playful,
spontaneous, curious and experimental in their sexual
relationships.
