Dr Laurie Betito is On Air with Ella sex and aging

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

  • What changes to expect as your body ages, and what impact that has on sex

  • 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

  • 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.
