   Dr. Jane Fleishman: Dad, We Really Need to Talk About Sex, Aging, LGBTQ Elders, and Why Desire Doesn’t Retire

   Dr. Jane Fleishman (https://www.janefleishman.com/) is a sexuality educator, researcher, and author of The Stonewall Generation (https://amzn.to/3Zi6E90). After a 30-year career in medical education, Jane retired at 55 and immediately enrolled in Widener’s PhD program in human sexuality, becoming the oldest person in her cohort and discovering a passion for challenging stigma around older adults, LGBTQ elders, and sexual rights. She shares how growing up in a liberal Jewish family, coming out in her early twenties, and seeing her mother actively try to understand her identity shaped her path toward advocacy, education, and research. We get into the realities of sex and aging: why older adults are wrongly labeled as either hypersexual or completely asexual, what actually happens inside assisted living communities, and why staff need sexual-wellness policies instead of scrambling to “hide” resident relationships. Jane breaks down changes in aging bodies, why fantasy and slow sex matter, how LGBTQ elders show remarkable resilience, and how the failures of U.S. sex education leave both young and old without basic knowledge about desire, consent, and communication. She also explains how assisted living can feel like “college for older adults” and why desire never really goes away, it just evolves. Episode Highlights: Misconceptions about older adults as either oversexed or totally asexual What actually happens in assisted living communities around sex and relationships Why sexual-wellness policies are scarce—and why they matter LGBTQ elders’ resilience and surprisingly low internalized homophobia The impact of the AIDS crisis across three generations of queer people How fantasy, outercourse, and slow sex support aging bodies The staggering gaps in U.S. sex education and lack of training for medical providers What sex means in later life: feeling younger, feeling desired, and shifting from “getting” to “giving” Connect with Dr. Jane Fleishman Dr. Jane’s Website (https://www.janefleishman.com/) Dr. Jane’s LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/jane-fleishman-phd-she-her-89a21610/) Dr. Jane’s Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/jane.fleishman.5) Dr. Jane’s YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgXBD48ju18)

   Dr. Joe Kort: Dad We Really Need to Talk About Straight Men Having Gay Sex

   In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Joe Kort (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/joekort.com/__;!!K_R5ZAeIjLw!H-Ix3m0DuVL6R7Z9fav0_R-ubeoeYGGQwCmEqzzn0zTqF-xyV37ih1Wo34UE8tSTEFzG-mFidDAcHS6pxRIoQdhEFUo0jA$), a board-certified clinical sexologist, therapist, author, and founder of the Center for Relationship and Sexual Health in Royal Oak, Michigan. For over 40 years, Dr. Kort has worked with individuals and couples on sexual health, trauma, mixed orientation marriages, and LGBTQIA+ issues.He shares how growing up gay in the 1970s, coming out to his family, and meeting a supportive therapist as a teenager led him into this work. From there, we explore some of his most talked-about areas of practice: straight-identified men who have sex with men, the difference between sexual orientation and erotic orientation, and why behavior alone doesn’t define identity.We also talk about the realities of mixed orientation marriages, how couples sometimes stay together, when they don’t, and why it’s crucial that therapists avoid pushing their own bias about whether a couple “should” separate. Dr. Kort also discusses trauma, conversion therapy, internalized homophobia, and how erotic shame shows up in the therapy room.Toward the end of the episode, he opens up about being in a neurodivergent relationship, his viral TikTok content on autism and relationships, and what he wishes he’d told his younger therapist self about work, pace, and burnout as he moves into his sixties. Episode Highlights: Growing up gay in the 70s and finding a life-changing therapist Sexual orientation vs. erotic orientation Why some straight men have sex with men Mixed orientation marriages: when and how they can work The impact of trauma, sexual abuse, and conversion efforts Men’s loneliness, shame, and emotional expression Neurodivergent couples and redefining “normal” in relationships Connect with Dr. Joe Kort: Dr. Joe Korts Website (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/joekort.com/__;!!K_R5ZAeIjLw!H-Ix3m0DuVL6R7Z9fav0_R-ubeoeYGGQwCmEqzzn0zTqF-xyV37ih1Wo34UE8tSTEFzG-mFidDAcHS6pxRIoQdhEFUo0jA$) Smart Sex Smart Love Podcast (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/joekort.com/podcast/__;!!K_R5ZAeIjLw!H-Ix3m0DuVL6R7Z9fav0_R-ubeoeYGGQwCmEqzzn0zTqF-xyV37ih1Wo34UE8tSTEFzG-mFidDAcHS6pxRIoQdjRHxhnow$) Dr. Joe Korts Facebook (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.facebook.com/drjoekort/__;!!K_R5ZAeIjLw!H-Ix3m0DuVL6R7Z9fav0_R-ubeoeYGGQwCmEqzzn0zTqF-xyV37ih1Wo34UE8tSTEFzG-mFidDAcHS6pxRIoQdiAyFkZbA$) Dr. Joe Korts TikTok (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/www.tiktok.com/@drjoekort__;!!K_R5ZAeIjLw!H-Ix3m0DuVL6R7Z9fav0_R-ubeoeYGGQwCmEqzzn0zTqF-xyV37ih1Wo34UE8tSTEFzG-mFidDAcHS6pxRIoQdijEx--GQ$)
