Literature on sex, intimacy and sexuality in later life has been
heavily influenced by perspectives from more affluent regions,
perpetuating the belief that the West is more sexually progressive
and liberal than other cultures. This book challenges this belief
by exploring diverse cultures and perspectives from the majority
world, which are often overlooked. It highlights the importance of
learning from non-Western cultures, dismantling stereotypes that
frame them as sexually conservative or inferior. Drawing on social
anthropology, postcolonial and decolonial theory, the book
critically examines binaries related to culture, age, sex and
intimacy, highlighting the need to decentre Western perspectives as
the benchmark while other cultures and practices are misunderstood.
