Aging and Sexuality
www.apa.org/pi/aging/resources/guides/sexuality.aspx The American Psychological Association’s Aging and Human Sexuality Resource Guide lists journal articles, books, websites, and organizations addressing the topic of aging and sexuality.
www.Bedsider.org A very comprehensive site covering all of the various birth control methods. Offers lots of opportunity for interaction and has a “method finder” so an individual can tailor a birth control method to his or her lifestyle. The site also has reminders that can send emails or texts reminding users to take a next dose, make a next clinic appointment, get a next refill, etc. Incredibly charming and engaging, with regular blogs and articles about fun things people can do when they’re not worried about unplanned pregnancy!
Healthy sexuality
www.CenterForHealthysex.com A website created by a group of therapists specializing in the treatment of sex addiction and in sex therapy. Some of the site is dedicated toward advertising their services, but it also contains a lot of information about how to identify and get help with unhealthy attitudes or behaviors regarding sex and sexuality.
www.GoAskAlice.columbia.edu Primarily in FAQ format, this site—a favorite of college students and adults alike–addresses a very wide range of questions about sex and sexuality. It is operated by the health services department at Columbia University for students and the general public, and also has interactive quizzes and polls.
www.KinseyInstitute.org In addition to linking visitors to research produced by the institute, the site gives volunteers the opportunity to participate in upcoming research.
