Welcome to the official page of the Nova Scotian Sex Over Sixty Guide: Volume 3!
This resource was first created to fill a large gap in the information and resources the SHNS network was seeing – resources specifically aimed to share information around healthy sexuality in our senior population. And in 2026 we created volume 3 of this resource, with updated information, recommendations, language and resources!
This page contains not only a digital version of our Sex Over Sixty guide (physical copies are being distributed around the province), but also our digital resource library – which we actively keep up to date to fill with the resources for seniors interested in learning more about how to support their sex lives – whatever that means or looks like to you!
We are excited to share this with you! A very special thanks to the Executive Directors at each of the SHNS’ network member- centres, to the Age-Friendly Communities Grant that funded the creation of this volume, and to our amazing designer Shannon Long.
Our Sex Over Sixty guide book contains 14 topics, that delve into the changes we might experience around our bodies and sexual desires as we age, the changing world of dating, information on safer sex, and things we can do to support a healthy relationship to sex and sexuality for ourselves.
A PDF of our guidebook can be found below, and you are welcome to download and print it! Or reach out to us at infosexualhealthns@gmail.com if you would like support getting a copy downloaded to your device. We will also be distributing physical copies through our member-centres, and at any in person events as supplies last!
