Sexologist Dr. Jane Fleishman, sex therapist Dr. Rosara Torrisi, and psychotherapist Dr. Sabitha Pillai-Friedman break down the beauty of human sexuality in the second half of life -- also known as the better half.
In this episode, our co-hosts tackle sexual losses in long-term relationships. Join Rosara and Jane (Sabitha is away this week) as they discuss a common challenge for older adults who've been together for a long time. Looking at the "menu" of sexual options can often bring some positive changes to feelings of loss. Check out this tool from Autostraddle as a guide to help think about what you want, what you want to have done, what you want to say, and where your desires intersect with your partner's.
