DEBUNKING MYTHS AROUND SEX & AGING
Our sexuality and desire evolve as we do. Both need to accommodate the myriad of physical, emotional and social changes that happen in middle-age and beyond.
Dr. Laurie Betito joins us to deep dive into this topic, including:
Common myths about sex and aging
The evolution of sex for individuals, including physical and desire changes
The phases in a long-term relationship: from lust to long term, changes in the WAY we desire; spontaneous vs responsive desire are different
Creating desire when spontaneous desire wanes
What changes to expect as your body ages, and what impact that has on sex
Submission - even in marriage - isn’t consent
It's never too soon - or too late - to prioritize your own pleasure
The truth behind "Use it or Lose it"... hint USE IT :-)
Why sex is often better as we age and/or mature in our own confidence
Sex in your 40s, 50, 60s can be the best ever but it requires a different skill-set -- more communication, longer foreplay, different positions, sexual toys and aids -- to stay hot and exciting
One study says women with happy, active sex lives look an average of 7 years younger than their peers (?!)
We are MORE satisfied, more FREE, more COMFORTABLE, have more of a VOICE, and more CONFIDENCE as we mature and evolve.
