Podcasts about sex advice

Midlife is a wild ride. One minute I feel grounded and radiant, the next I'm wondering what the hell I'm doing with my life (usually while wiping dog puke off the couch at 5am). Sound familiar? In this solo episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what it really means to feel sexy in the midst of changing hormones, shifting identities, and those “WTF is happening?” moments. If you've been feeling disconnected, tender, or just plain tired, I've got you. Inside this episode, I share:  ✨ How I move through the highs and lows of midlife ✨ The body image voice that popped into my head—and how I shut it down ✨ Why pleasure and rest are my non-negotiables right now ✨ What it means to step into your “second spring” with softness and strength ✨ The rituals and reminders that help me feel sexy again (even when I'm a mess) If you've been craving honesty, permission, and a gentle nudge back to yourself—this one's for you. Tune in now and give yourself the gift of remembrance. You are sexy. You are sacred. You are enough — just as you are.

Who do you turn to for the advice between the sheets? A doctor? A podcast? Your bestie? Well, we are here to analyze the best and worst places to find the secret sauce for lovers. We have poured over the books on our shelves...okay, we looked at one book and we have distilled the wisdom down to 31 minutes of our signature hot takes. So lay back, turn us on, and let's have a conversation.Send us a text

I'm always intrigued by what inspires ‘sexperts' to help others navigate the challenges within their sexual relationships. For many I've met, their journey into this field is often deeply personal, shaped by their own experiences and struggles.In this recent conversation, intimacy coach Anna Marti, whom I have met before, shared her path to becoming an intimacy coach. Her journey was profoundly influenced by her experiences with trauma in relationships, particularly with a long-term partner who had a traumatic sexual history. Their shared effort to rediscover sexual pleasure and connection ultimately motivated Anna to pursue a career as a counsellor and learn how to heal others who found it difficult to move on from their traumatic past.Our discussion delved into the cultural influences on sexuality, the critical role of communication in intimacy, and the importance of redefining pleasure beyond conventional ideas of sex. Anna highlighted the value of bridging body and spirit, dispelling misconceptions about intimacy, and embracing playfulness in relationships.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Intimacy Coaching03:01 Understanding Trauma and Relationships05:59 Exploring Sexuality and Cultural Influences08:56 The Role of Communication in Intimacy11:51 Redefining Sex and Pleasure15:06 Bridging Body and Spirit18:02 Misconceptions About Intimacy21:11 Finding Playfulness in Relationships23:54 Key Takeaways on Connection and HealingYou can find Anna here: https://annamarti.comThousands of people are finally talking about intimacy, desire and pleasure without shame.

It was great to welcome back Amara Charles to Sex Advice for Seniors, a relationship and sexual empowerment expert and best selling author of three books. I really love this woman - she has a wonderful calm energy about her and she positive lights up when she talks about her work.In this episode I was keen to delve into the practise of concept of Quodoushka, which represents the fusion of energies to create a greater whole. Amara is an expert on this ancient practise, having written a book about it, and believes there are nine male and female genital anatomy types--such as Coyote Man or Buffalo Woman. I know it all sounds very woo woo, but when Amara is talking about it, it actually makes perfect sense because I certainly have known men who liked to howl like a coyote during sex (I used to worry he would wake up the neighbours). Amara discusses the three essential pillars of ageless sexuality: embodied presence, resonant communication, and sexual alchemy. Through personal stories and insights, we explore how understanding one's genital anatomy can enhance sexual experiences, the importance of acceptance in pleasure, and the potential for growth and vibrancy in sexuality as one ages. Ultimately, I'm a great believer in that whatever system works in helping us become closer, more intimate, with our partner(s), the better. And Amara has certainly witnessed, as we discussed, the transformative power using Quodoushka can have on our clients.If you'd like to find out more about Amara visit her website:https://amaracharles.com/https://www.youtube.com/@amaracharles7203Here Mystic Rapture Couples Intimacy Retreat is being held in Costa Rica May 3-10, 2025.

One of the recurring topics in my conversations with older people is how to navigate a sexless relationship, especially when one person in the partnership wants more sex than the other. Having spent the last four years of my own marriage celibate, I am familiar with this dynamic. In my case, my sexual dissatisfaction was not defined by my ability to orgasm (which I had always taken control of) but more of an inability to communicate my desires and a lack of vernacular around sex and overall confidence to even know how to start the conversation.In my conversation with sexologist Renée Yvonne we discuss the challenges of navigating sexless relationships, the importance of communication about desires, and the need for understanding female pleasure. We explore how sexual satisfaction impacts overall well-being and the emotional toll of unmet sexual needs. Renée shares her experiences and insights as a certified sex counsellor, offering practical advice for couples to enhance intimacy and connection.There's no age-specificity when it comes to learning how to talk about sex. Whether with a new partner or in a long-term relationship, we can all benefit from improving our communication skills in this area. 00:00 Navigating Sexless Relationships09:55 Communication and Desire20:01 Understanding Female Pleasure29:57 The Impact of Sexual Satisfaction on Well-beingYou can find Renée Yvonne here:www.thegensexologist.comrenee@thegensexologist.comListen to previous episodes of her The Gen SeXy Podcast here.Thousands of people are finally talking about intimacy, desire and pleasure without shame.

Lara and Aquaman are back with a brand-new episode of Pussy Church, and this week, we're talking all things orgasm. A new study reveals that prioritizing your pleasure actually makes you come more—so why aren't we all doing it? Plus, we're diving into Luigi's alleged sex tape scandal (yes, that Luigi), and we share our do's and don'ts for your next threesome. Amen.Check out the Tales Of Lara substack here. 

Rose Rouse is the editor of the social enterprise Advantages of Age and Now magazine on Substack, which we founded together back in 2016 to challenge the media narrative around ageing. She also happens to be one of my good friends.We share many of the same views on ageing, believing that getting older doesn't mean being "past it." We both enjoy wearing flowers in our hair from time to time, shopping sustainably, exploring out-of-the-way places, and generally being curious about life.However, when it comes to relationships, we're quite literally miles apart. I prefer the men I'm involved with to be within a 30-minute to one-hour proximity, while Rose has been in a decade-long relationship with a man who lives about six hours away. I'm not very monogamous, whereas she is deeply monogamous.I thought it would be fun to explore what it's like to have a "living together apart" (LTA) relationship and how Rose has managed to make it work for so long—especially when health issues arise, for example. We ended up diving deep into the topic, so much so that by the end she said to me, “And we didn't even get to the sex part!”That's true—we didn't. So, I suspect we'll have to revisit that in another episode.

Even the most confident, high-achieving women can freeze up when it comes to expressing their desires.

You'll discover:

Darlaine and I have met before, and in this conversation we talk openly and honestly about the challenges of sexual health, especially for women after breast cancer. We shared some of our personal experiences and talked about how hormonal treatments can impact intimacy, as well as the importance of taking care of vaginal health. We also discussed how lifestyle choices can make a big difference, busted a few myths about feminine hygiene products, and looked at environmental factors that contribute to breast cancer. For me, the biggest takeaway was how much we need better education and support when it comes to sexual health, especially for women as we get older.Chapters02:57 Personal Experiences and Challenges05:54 Exploring Sexual Health Post-Breast Cancer09:02 The Importance of Vaginal Health12:01 Understanding Hormonal Treatments15:02 The Impact of Lifestyle on Sexual Health18:05 Debunking Myths About Feminine Hygiene Products20:58 Environmental Factors and Breast Cancer24:01 Navigating Intimacy and Aging26:53 Addressing Sexual Health Concerns29:52 Conclusion and Future ConversationsHere's what others have to say:"I just finished listening to your podcast!

It was great to have Ena Xena back on the show, recently back from a winter in Goa and glowing. The last time she was on the programme we talked briefly about her work in ‘Human Design' - a set of energy types that helps us to understand how to show up in the world, and how others relate to us. Similar to the astrological chart, in that energy types are defined according to birth date, time and place (only three months before your actual birth occurs). “Human Design offers a map of your unique genetic design, with detailed information on both conscious and unconscious aspects of yourself.”In this episode, we discussed Ena's forthcoming workshops - one on Human Design and the other about Full Body Orgasms (where you are fully clothed!).These will be taking place on the Union Canal, London, from 23rd February - 1st March and are entirely FREE, funded by the London Borough of Kensington & Chelsea.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Human Design and Workshops03:04 Exploring Human Design Energy Types06:11 Understanding Relationships through Human Design09:01 The Role of Energy in Relationships11:55 Full Body Orgasm Workshop Overview14:50 Navigating Sexual Energy and Confidence17:53 The Importance of Communication in Relationships21:02 Normalising Conversations about Sexuality23:46 Conclusion and Workshop DetailsThousands of people are finally talking about intimacy, desire and pleasure without shame.

One of the perks of my ‘job' is occasionally being offered incredible freebies I can't refuse. My massive sex toy collection is one example, and another is the post I wrote about a sensual massage I received from Colin Richards.After nearly two hours of being massaged and sensually stroked by the country's leading sensual masseur, I felt as though I'd just returned from a week-long holiday (one where I'd been liberally coated in oil). It was divine, and I was eager to catch up with him to hear about his latest venture—a web-based channel for those who enjoy both giving and receiving sensual massage.While it may seem niche, more and more people, especially later in life, are exploring sensual massage as a way to revive their libido, deepen their connection with a partner, and fully embrace pleasure. In the world of massage, however, advertising these services can be tricky, as they often sit somewhere between adult work (even though penetration is typically not involved) and traditional massage.That said, the sensual masseurs I've met take their work very seriously, ensuring that clients' boundaries are respected and that the experience aligns with what the client is seeking.Currently, the networking platform operates as a Telegram chat group called Intimacy Matters. This is described as “the first phase of creating a networking platform to unite sensual massage lovers and general sensualists.”Colin explains: “To qualify to join, you should take great pleasure in giving and receiving erotic intimacy or, ideally, have some experience in sensual massage. You should appreciate intimacy and connection during sex. Empathy, authenticity, and being a good person should form the core of your values.”To get access too the chat group you must complete the Application Form00:00 Introduction to Sensual Massage and Community Building05:58 Creating a Safe Space for Intimacy12:03 Exploring Consent and Boundaries in Sensual Experiences18:11 The Future of Intimacy and Sensuality for Older AdultsYou can find Colin Richards at:Facebook; https://www.facebook.com/IntimacymattersTwitter; https://twitter.com/IntimacyMattersWebsite: https://www.intimacymatters.co.ukColin is a member of The Association of Somatic & Integrative SexologistsThousands of people are finally talking about intimacy, desire and pleasure without shame.

I have a very large sex toy collection, most given to me for free. When friends have come over and seen the overspilling box of toys next to my bed, the most common reaction is, “Wow, how do you find the time to use all of that?!'“ Here's the thing: testing out sex toys is a job like any other, and nobody knows that better than my guest, Ralph Greco. He has been reviewing toys for websites, magazines like Hustler, and anyone else willing to pay him for over a decade. As a result, I suspect he has a much larger toy collection than I do. I don't envy him for that, though, because toys take up space, are mostly not recyclable, and we have only so many erogenous zones for which a vibrating device can enhance our pleasure.Ralph is very funny and it was great to dive into the world of sex toys and our respective experiences using them. For those who have not been initiated into the world of sex toys, Ralph and I discuss how to get started, what does or doesn't make a sex toy useful, the growing interest in prostate play amongst older men. We also touched on what to do when you have accumulated too many toys - is it OK to sell them on secondhand toy/underwear/pantyhose sites?We we also delve into the evolving landscape of men's pleasure products, discussing the shift in perception towards adult toys for men. And we debate the balance between simplicity and complexity in product features, while humorously contemplating the future of pleasure with the potential rise of robotic companions.00:00 Introduction to Naughty Writing and Erotica06:01 Exploring Prostate Play and Older Men13:57 The Challenge of Toy Accumulation and Disposal19:12 Exploring Men's Toys: A Shift in Perception25:31 Safety and Quality: The New Standards in Adult ToysThousands of people are finally talking about intimacy, desire and pleasure without shame.

Ken and I had a conversation last year about his relatively new business focused on supporting men with erectile dysfunction. His goal was to help them navigate the U.S. healthcare system and address their challenges in achieving and maintaining an erection.Having experienced this issue firsthand and struggled to find a helpful healthcare provider, Ken wanted to save other men the time and effort. He wanted to work with them to understand their circumstances and experiences, ultimately providing a tailored recovery pathway.Unfortunately, as we discussed in the show, he found it challenging to reach potential customers, who, I suspect, felt too ashamed to discuss their sexual health with another man who lacked a PhD, despite being a fully qualified sexologist and training with the Dr. Rachael Institute. Our conversation delves into the stigma surrounding ED, the role of lifestyle and health in managing the condition, and the need for men to advocate for their sexual health. We also explore societal expectations of masculinity and the performative nature of male sexuality, as well as advancements in ED treatments and the importance of a holistic approach to health. Ken emphasises the need for open conversations about ED and the resources available to help men navigate their sexual health challenges.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Erectile Dysfunction01:24 Ken's Personal Journey with ED03:17 Understanding the Underlying Causes of ED05:12 The Role of Lifestyle and Health08:03 Advocating for Sexual Health10:28 Breaking the Stigma Around ED12:00 Marketing Challenges in ED Coaching13:54 Societal Expectations and Masculinity16:50 The Performative Nature of Male Sexuality19:31 Advancements in ED Treatments22:21 The Importance of Holistic Health25:20 Navigating ED as a Lifelong Journey29:03 Conclusion and Resources for EDhttps://www.healthysexualitywithken.com/

OMG, I love this woman! The last time Susan Bratton was on the show, we dived into all things related to sex and intimacy, including non-monogamy. Since then, she has appeared on ‘Diary of a CEO' with Steven Bartlett, so she's gone even more into the stratosphere than she was before, and I feel blessed to have her here talking to me. Steven calls her the ‘Orgasm Queen' but, for me, Susan's knowledge about sex and intimacy go way beyond the orgasm. For this episode, we decided to focus specifically on pumping, of which Susan knows her stuff, as you'll find out!Until about a year ago, I had no clue what pumping was. I vaguely remember seeing ads in the back of comic books as a kid, claiming that men could increase the size of their penis with a large cylinder-like apparatus.After chatting with several urologists on the show, who mentioned pumps to help men regain erections post-prostate surgery and clitoral pumps for older women seeking increased blood flow to their genitals, my partner and I decided to buy pumps and give them a try. I have to admit that, while I don't use it often, my partner really enjoys it and has definitely noticed an increase in girth and the ability to maintain his erection. Plus, it's pretty kinky to watch a partner pump and vice versa, a sentiment Susan and I both agree on!On a more serious note, studies are now being undertaken to determine the effectiveness of pumping for men with erectile dysfunction and nerve damage through surgical procedures. Anecdotal evidence suggests that pumping can help restore blood flow to the penis (and the clitoris) meaning greater sensitivity and more pleasureable sex.

Laurie Stone is author of six books, most recently "Streaming Now, Postcards from the Thing that is Happening," longlisted for the PEN/Diamonstein-Spielvogel Award. She writes the Substack "Everything is Personal.”When I read Laurie's Stone Substack article about her decision to marry her long-term partner Richard at 78, following a brief two-week engagement, I knew I had to contact her. It was subsequently covered in the ‘Vows' section in the New York Times. Laurie and I have many mutual friends, mostly other writers and creative types, which led me to suspect her choice to marry was likely more thoughtful and less conventional than the typical “we've been together so long, we might as well.”Just three weeks earlier, at a friend's Christmas party, I had encountered another writer in her fifties, someone I had met a few times, who had recently announced her engagement to her partner of five years. (I'm sensing a micro-trend here). She expressed surprise at the mixed reactions from friends, ranging from “Well, I guess someone has to” to “Congratulations, how wonderful.”I might have asked her if her decision was based purely on romance, to which she appeared taken aback and said “Yes, of course.” I explained that after my most recent partner passed away, I became acutely aware of my lack of agency, particularly in not being able to communicate directly with his doctors or stay informed about his declining health. It had left me feeling frustrated and angry.This experience highlighted for me the emotional difficulties of being partnered but not married in the traditional sense, helping me understand some of the complexities involved and why deciding to marry when you're no longer in your 20s or 30s, is not always a romantic one. I have to admit I'm cynical about romance, having not had the best track record when it comes to long-term relationships and my own decade-long marriage was not filled with joy, and so I am curious as to why anyone would consciously choose to ‘tie-the-knot' when my age. But I'm also a great believer in the old cliche, ‘To each, to his own,' and have several friends who have been happily married for decades, so clearly it does work for some people, only not for me! In any case, I'm not going to spoil some of the many interesting observations about love and marriage that Laurie shared with me during this discussion but only to say I hope you will enjoy our conversation as much as I did.Laurie is hosting her next workshop on taking risks in your writing to which you are invited to attend if you become one of her paid subscribers. It's taking place on 25th January 3 - 4 pm EST. The cost for a year is $37.50 and $3.75 a month making it one of the least expensive Substacks on the platform. “It's uniquely literary, funny, sexy, and feminist.” To RSVP, please write to: lauriestone@substack.com (once you become a paid subscriber)00:00 Introduction to the Podcast and Guest10:41 The Wedding Experience: A Unique Perspective16:04 Reflections on Marriage and Practical Considerations22:33 Writing and Personal Experiences: The Creative Process30:52 Closing Thoughts and Future PlansSex Advice for Seniors is a reader-supported podcast, weekly newsletter with random notes and observations about sex, dating and relationships in later life.

Delving Into the Sexual RevolutionIn this lively chat, I had the pleasure of interviewing Sam Feldman, the very engaging and funny author of 'Hookups, Hiccups and Happenstances.' We delved into the juicy bits of the sexual revolution, shared a few personal tales about intimacy, and had a good old chinwag about why communication is absolutely vital for keeping long-term relationships ticking along.Sam shared some cracking insights from his own life, including how health can sometimes be a bit of a party pooper when it comes to sexuality, and the sheer joy of date nights. He cheekily reminded us that age is just a number—definitely not a barrier to having a right good time in the bedroom or beyond!Takeaways:* The sexual revolution brought significant changes in women's empowerment (both good & bad)!* Personal experiences shape the narratives in erotic literature.* Health challenges can impact sexual intimacy but can be adapted to.* Ethical non-monogamy was practiced before the term existed.* Date nights can enhance connection and intimacy in relationships - no matter what your age!Chapters00:00 The Sexual Revolution: A Historical Perspective06:03 Personal Experiences and Ethical Non-Monogamy12:08 Maintaining Intimacy in Long-Term Relationships17:50 Adapting to Change: Health and Sexuality24:05 The Importance of Communication and ConnectionSex Advice for Seniors is a reader-supported publication.

A little goes a long way.Hookups, Hiccups, and Happenstances is a collection of erotic short stories that capture the spirit of the era when attitudes toward sex were being redefined. Set in the wild, libertine world of the 60s and 70s, Sam's stories follow the character of Butch, a man admired by both men and women for his unapologetic embrace of sexual freedom. The book explores encounters that celebrate human desire, autonomy, and mutual pleasure, offering a refreshing and boundary-pushing perspective on relationships.You can buy it here.Find Sam on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sam.l.feldman Get full access to Sex Advice for Seniors at www.sexadviceforseniors.com/subscribe

One question that often comes up is how to make dating easier for men and women seeking serious relationships.From my experience, finding a man who wants regular sex and understands female anatomy is far less challenging than finding one who desires a deep, meaningful connection beyond just physical intimacy.I've been a virtual Facebook friend of Shakti Sundari for several years. During that time, I've watched her navigate relationships with men who were clearly incompatible, trying to make things work despite the odds. After taking a break due to family responsibilities, she moved to Glastonbury and settled into the community, which required some adjustment.Recently, over the past three months, she's been documenting her reengagement with dating on her Facebook profile. She expresses a desire to flirt, have fun, and eventually find a proper adult relationship. I've thoroughly enjoyed reading her long, detailed posts. Shakti has a wonderful curiosity and an open energy. Unlike many women I've spoken to who find the online dating scene disheartening and have given up, I can sense that Shakti is still in the process of figuring it all out and wants to help others to find the ‘conscious connection' they are seeking too.Sex Advice for Seniors is a reader-supported publication.

In this chat, I had the pleasure of speaking with Sydney Zwicker about the many aspects of pelvic health, especially for women. We explored the emotional and physical connections tied to pelvic health and why women often seek support. It was fascinating to discuss the importance of addressing both physical issues and emotional trauma.Sydney shared her holistic approach to healing, which includes various bodywork techniques and the vital role of creating a safe space for women to reconnect with their bodies. We also touched on men's experiences, the significance of communication in intimacy, and the need to rethink societal narratives around menopause and women's health. * Pelvic health discussions are vital for women of all ages.* Emotional stories are intertwined with physical health.* Women often seek help for physical pain, emotional trauma, or spiritual disconnection.* Healing requires addressing both physical and emotional aspects.* Techniques include bodywork, visualization, and somatic coaching.* Men also experience pelvic health issues and need support.* Intimacy can exist without sexuality, focusing on connection.Sound Bites* "You can't separate a woman from her story."* "The body is not out to get us."* "There's no shame in the healing process."* "Men need this work too."* "Intimacy doesn't have to involve sexuality."* "Communication is a practice."Chapters00:00 Introduction to Pelvic Health Conversations01:23 Understanding Pelvic Health and Emotional Connection02:36 Pain Points and Reasons for Seeking Help04:31 The Interplay of Physical and Emotional Health06:30 Techniques for Healing and Body Awareness08:11 Expanding the Scope: Working with Men10:45 The Importance of Emotional Maturity in Healing12:12 Navigating Touch and Intimacy15:40 The Need for Non-Sexual Intimacy18:00 Communication and Intimacy in Relationships21:45 The Role of Elders and Wisdom in Sexuality24:28 Menopause: A Rite of Passage27:56 Reframing the Narrative Around Menopause30:22 The Purpose of Menopause in Evolution32:22 The Dangers of Medical Interventions35:54 The Importance of Body Awareness and Educationhttps://www.zwickerhealingarts.com/https://www.instagram.com/zwickerhealingartsSex Advice for Seniors is a reader-supported publication.

Bel highlighted that training can be not only beneficial but also enjoyable—who knew working on your pelvic floor could be so engaging?We also touched on the importance of rest and recovery in any training regimen and discussed how tools and toys can elevate the experience.

Sexologist Chris Hands and I met a few months ago but the recording was mangled, so it was great to catch up with him again and talk about the intricate dynamics of men's groups which Chris has run for several years and the pervasive influence of toxic masculinity. Our discussion delved into the cultural perspectives on sexuality, particularly among older individuals, and how these attitudes shape our experiences.We explored the role of dance as a profound means of connection, highlighting the benefits of practices such as Biodanza and Five Rhythms in fostering intimacy and vulnerability within the realm of dating. It became clear that modern relationships are rife with complexities, especially given the disconnection many individuals, particularly men, experience in today's society.The impact of the pandemic on our social connections cannot be overstated, as it has prompted a significant redefinition of relationships in later life. We addressed the challenges posed by societal norms in dating, emphasising the emotional dynamics at play. Ultimately, as with most of my conversations with experts, it's all about learning how to communicate within relationships and the importance of sharing perspectives without attributing blame or anger.takeaways* Men's groups have evolved but often become negative.* Toxic masculinity is pervasive and affects relationships.* Cultural differences influence perceptions of sexuality.* Dance can create physical connections and intimacy.* Biodanza offers a unique way to connect with others.* Vulnerability in dating is increasingly challenging.* Older individuals often withdraw from discussions about sexuality.* The pandemic has exacerbated feelings of isolation.* Creating a supportive community is essential for connection.* Engaging in group activities can help bridge gaps in understanding. Many men feel disconnected and lonely in today's society.* The pandemic has exacerbated feelings of isolation and anxiety.* Older adults are redefining what relationships look like for them.* There is a growing desire for non-traditional relationship structures.* Both men and women are seeking companionship without the constraints of traditional dating.* Emotional dynamics in relationships require time and understanding to develop.* Societal expectations often hinder genuine connections between people.* Communication is key to navigating relationship challenges.Sound Bites* "Let's just rewrite the rule book."* "Men often just want to fix things."* "I don't do drama anymore."Sex Advice for Seniors is a reader-supported publication.

It seems obvious, but rarely discussed, is the relationship between how our parents conceive us and how this can significantly influence our sexual energy and development. This topic is important, as it highlights the deep-rooted connections between our childhood experiences and adult intimacy. And yet, I suspect for most of us, considering our parent's role in how we approach our sexuality is yet another one of those topics that may bring up shame or resentment or a myriad of emotions, which help to suppress feelings of sexual desire or longing.The Influence of Parents on Sexual EnergyIt's fascinating to consider how shame and guilt from parents can disrupt a child's natural arousal and sexual development. These early impressions can create patterns that affect relationships later in life. Certain life stages are critical for developing a healthy understanding of sexuality, and disruptions during these times can have lasting effects.Communication in RelationshipsOne of the pressing issues we discussed is the lack of communication about sexual needs within relationships. Partners often carry imprints from childhood, yet they may not fully understand how these affect their intimacy. As we noted, “The partner does not know what your imprints are,” emphasizing the need for open dialogue about desires and experiences.Physiological Changes and Body AwarenessPhysiological changes that occur in both women and men can also alter sexual experiences. Understanding these changes is essential for fostering intimacy. Body awareness plays a crucial role in sexual health; grounding therapy, for instance, helps individuals connect their energy flow with their sexuality. “Grounding is down to earth sexuality,” we agreed, highlighting its importance in enhancing intimate connections.Sex Advice for Seniors is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.Navigating Survival BehaviorsWe touched on how survival behaviors from childhood can hinder adult relationships. These ingrained patterns can manifest as barriers to intimacy, making it essential to recognize and address them. “When women close their vagina, men close their heart,” we noted, illustrating how emotional and physical barriers are intertwined.Releasing Stress for Improved IntimacyLastly, we discussed how releasing stress through body awareness can significantly improve intimacy. By cultivating a greater understanding of our bodies and recognizing the impact of childhood experiences, we can pave the way for healthier, more fulfilling relationships.https://www.rodeparel.nl/https://www.facebook.com/maya.kerstan.3 Get full access to Sex Advice for Seniors at www.sexadviceforseniors.com/subscribe

I was incredibly flattered when Joan Price, who wrote the first book about sex over 60, Naked at Our Age, got in touch about coming on the show to publicise the recently relaunched and expanded edition of the award-winning, Sex After Grief: Navigating your Sexuality after Losing your Beloved.Joan Price is a true trailblazer in the world of senior sexuality and I am very much following in her footsteps when it comes to tackling the taboos around sex in later life. During our conversation, Joan shared her inspiring journey into writing about senior sexuality, and why she has reworked her latest book, bravely tackling the challenges of navigating grief and intimacy. She offered some fantastic advice for anyone looking to embrace their sexuality and explore new relationships after a loss. We emphasised how crucial it is to have honest conversations about our desires, boundaries, and the exciting possibilities of reinventing our sexuality later in life. She will definitely be coming back onto Sex Advice for Seniors in the New Year!Here are some key takeaways from our conversation:* Grief can deeply affect our sexual desires and relationships, but it doesn't have to define them.* The pandemic has changed how we grieve and connect with others.* Clear communication about what we want and need in new relationships is essential.* Older people can discover new and fulfilling ways to explore their sexuality after the death of a partner.* Talking about death can actually help ease guilt for those left behind.* Approaching dating as a fun experiment rather than a heavy commitment can take the pressure off.Here's a quick rundown of the chapters we covered:00:00 - Introduction to Senior Sexuality06:00 - Navigating Grief and Sexuality11:55 - Understanding Sexual Urges After Loss17:55 - Communicating Desires and Boundaries24:01 - Reinventing Sexuality in Later Life30:07 - Dating in the Modern Agehttps://www.joanprice.com* Newly updated: Sex after Grief: Navigating Your Sexuality after Losing Your Beloved* Author of award-winning Naked at Our Age: Talking Out Loud about Senior Sex* Now on BlueSky https://bsky.app/profile/joanprice.bsky.social* For senior sex news and views, subscribe to Joan's newsletter: https://witty-feather-67285.myflodesk.com/sun5wbx417 Get full access to Sex Advice for Seniors at www.sexadviceforseniors.com/subscribe

Holly's journey began in a poverty-stricken family in Delaware, where she became the first in her extended family to attend college, earning a full scholarship to Liberty University. After graduating with a degree in Biblical Studies and receiving the Horatio Alger scholarship, she initially aspired to be a missionary but later navigated a 20-year marriage that ended amicably. Embracing various roles, Holly found her true passion in empowering women and fostering communities that combat loneliness. Through social media, she helps women navigate relationships and promotes self-love, drawing from her extensive personal growth journey. Now living on a farm near Charlotte, North Carolina, she leads a women's group called Soul Sisters, connecting women in support and sisterhood.Navigating Love and Self-Discovery: An Empowering JourneyIf you follow relationship and dating coaches on any of the social media platforms, then you'll have come across @Hope with Holly, who delivers straight talking, b******t-free advice, mainly based on her own experience from a restrictive upbringing in a Christian cult to the often chaotic world of modern dating. Holly's experiences are a testament to the complexities of love, intimacy, and self-discovery, and I could have talked to her for hours! From Restriction to LiberationHolly's background undeniably shaped her views on sex and relationships. She experienced sex for the first time on the first night of her wedding. Growing up in a cult environment, she faced strict limitations that impacted her understanding of intimacy and it was fascinating to hear how she has transformed those early lessons into a journey of exploration and empowerment that has led her to become the superstar she is today. The Role of Emotional IntelligenceOne of the most striking points Holly made was about the critical importance of emotional intelligence in dating. Relationships are not just about chemistry; they require a deep understanding of oneself and one's partner. Communication about sexual preferences is essential for building fulfilling connections. “You can teach a good man to be a good lover,” she reminded us, highlighting the importance of sharing desires openly.The Dating App DilemmaWe also discussed the wild west world of dating apps. While they can sometimes feel like a “dumpster fire,” they also offer opportunities for connection - once you know what you want. Holly shared her very amusing anecdotes, navigating the ups and downs with these platforms, and highlighting the need for patience, resilience and, above all, knowing what you want and sticking to your guns until you find a suitable partner.Friendship as a FoundationWe touched on the idea that friendship can serve as a strong foundation for romantic relationships. Situationships, while often complicated, can provide valuable insights into compatibility and what we truly desire in a partner. Compromise, as Holly emphasised, is key to navigating these particular types of relationships.Redefining Societal ExpectationsThroughout our conversation, we acknowledged how societal expectations can limit personal happiness. Women, in particular, should feel empowered to express their desires and understand what they want in relationships. Physical connection is essential for emotional well-being, and for Holly, that meant holding off on intimacy until she had established a genuine connection with her partner.

In a recent conversation, I had the pleasure of interviewing Ena Xena, an orgasmic human design coach, and we delved into the fascinating intersection of human design principles and intimacy. Ena's insights opened up a whole new perspective on how we can enhance our relationships, particularly for those of us over 50.Understanding Human DesignEna introduced the concept of an “orgasmic human design coach.” This unique approach merges intimacy advice with the principles of human design, allowing individuals to better understand their sexual energy and intimacy needs. Each person's human design chart reveals both conscious and unconscious aspects, providing a roadmap for personal and relational growth.Enhancing RelationshipsOne of the key takeaways from our discussion was how understanding human design can improve relationship dynamics and decision-making. Ena explained that analysing intimacy and compatibility through human design connection charts can reveal valuable insights about how partners interact and support each other's needs.Sex Advice for Seniors is a reader-supported publication.

Ena noted, “We create a third being in a relationship,” highlighting how couples can cultivate a shared energy that enhances their connection. Regular dates and intentional time together are crucial for maintaining the health of a relationship. “Don't take each other for granted,” she advised, a reminder that intentionality matters.Workshops and Self-DevelopmentEna offers a variety of workshops and courses designed to help individuals explore their sexual energy and enhance relational well-being.

In every episode, I learn something new and in this conversation with pelvic floor physiotherapist (yup, it's a thing) Amanda Olson and I talk about pelvic health, especially for women navigating menopause and beyond. It's a topic that often lurks in the shadows, but it's about time we confront many of the issues that arise from having a weak pelvic floor that go beyond incontinence!Understanding Pelvic Health and Intimate RosePelvic health is a vital part of overall well-being, affecting individuals of all genders and ages. Many people don't realise how impactful pelvic issues can be, but Amanda's insights about her company, Intimate Rose, and why she started it, were enlightening. They've crafted tools like vaginal dilators and pelvic wands that empower people to take charge of their health.The Importance of Vaginal DilatorsAmanda shared a gem of wisdom: “If you don't use it, you can lose it.” Vaginal dilators help maintain the elasticity and mobility of vaginal tissue, which is crucial, especially during menopause when our bodies undergo significant changes.Navigating Menopause and Pelvic Floor ChangesMenopause can feel like a rollercoaster of emotions and physical shifts. It's a time of transformation, and understanding the changes in pelvic floor health is essential. We talked about how many women are unaware of the resources available to them, which is why education is so vital.The Role of Psychological Factors in Pelvic HealthWe also explored the psychological side of pelvic health. Our bodies can develop deep guarding reflexes due to pain or trauma, making it even more challenging to navigate these issues. It's important to recognize that these feelings are valid—“It's a true issue, and they're not crazy,” Amanda said.Addressing Sexual Health Post-CancerFor those who have faced cancer treatments, the impact on sexual health can be profound. It's never too late to address these concerns, and tools like dilators can play a crucial role in restoring quality of life.Empowerment and Quality of Life for SeniorsThe overarching message from our discussion was one of empowerment. Quality of life can significantly improve with proper pelvic care, and it's essential for everyone to feel equipped to manage their health. “These are all quality of life issues,” we agreed, emphasising the importance of proper lubrication for comfortable experiences.Check out the full range of products here.Chapters00:00 Understanding Pelvic Health and Intimate Rose02:57 The Importance of Vaginal Dilators05:48 Navigating Menopause and Pelvic Floor Changes09:08 The Role of Psychological Factors in Pelvic Health11:50 Personal Stories and the Impact of Accidents14:49 Addressing Sexual Health Post-Cancer18:10 The Functionality of Pelvic Health Tools20:48 Misdiagnosis and the Need for Awareness24:03 The Path to Pelvic Health Care26:52 Empowerment and Quality of Life for SeniorsWhere to find Intimate Rose:https://www.intimaterose.com/https://www.facebook.com/IntimateRosehttps://www.instagram.com/intimaterose/Sex Advice for Seniors is a reader-supported publication.

In my recent conversation with Marina Gerner, author of ‘The Vagina Business' we delved into the fascinating and rapidly evolving field of FemTech, a sector dedicated to harnessing technology to enhance women's health. As anyone with a vagina will tell you, trying to raise investment for their business, whether in the world of female health or otherwise, there are myriad challenges such entrepreneurs face.It's disheartening to see how societal taboos surrounding women's health can hinder investment and innovation, but hardly surprising, as most investors are men. Marina and I discussed the need to break down these barriers and foster greater awareness and education about women's health issues. This is crucial not just for entrepreneurs but for all of us who care about improving women's health outcomes.We also touched on significant topics like menopause and sexual health in older age. These are often overlooked areas that deserve much more attention in discussions and the marketplace. The regulatory hurdles that complicate introducing new products only add to the complexity of the landscape, making it even more vital that we advocate for change.Marina's book, The Vagina Business, serves as an essential guide through the innovations and challenges within this space. She has done a tremendous job of showcasing the range of products and services being developed and the challenges these founders face in bringing them to market. It underscores the urgent need for support and solutions prioritising women's health. I left with the hope that many of these products eventually see the light of day with their ability to transform female health and are not simply left on the page.You can find out more and buy Marina's book here.Website: https://www.marinagerner.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marinagerner/Sex Advice for Seniors is a reader-supported publication.

What do Taylor Swift, a clown car, and seasonal porn have in common? They all somehow make it into this week's episode of Your Mileage May Vary! Just Mike and me today, and we're diving into the strange, hilarious, and occasionally bleak corners of sex, relationships, and the modern world. We kick things off with a look at the awkward politics of swinger approaches, including Mike's firsthand confusion at a Lake Tahoe bar that was definitely not what he expected. Then we analyze why Taylor Swift's music might be your secret weapon for attracting 20-something women (pro tip: encyclopedic knowledge of “All Too Well” is apparently a game-changer). Along the way, we discuss whether AI-generated porn is the future of personal fantasies, and whether we'd even want that future in the first place. From there, we pivot into listener questions, tackling the problem of queefing, and a curious case of someone who can masturbate 15 times a day but can't seem to finish during sex. As always, our takes are a mix of irreverent humor and the occasional moment of accidental insight—plus a surprising amount of advice on how not to ruin your marriage over a cushion. Stick around to the end, where we contemplate the ultimate “bro gift” (it's not what you think), seasonal porn costumes, and why some people are oddly dedicated to writing heartfelt comments on Reddit porn. This is an episode where our tangents are as good as the main course, so grab your headphones, settle in, and join us for another wild ride.
