In our newest episode of Up the Rabbit Hole with a Sex Therapist, hosts Dr. Cory Hrushka and Brandi Enns sit down with renowned author and advocate Joan Price to discuss the often-overlooked topic of sexuality in aging populations.
Joan shares both personal experiences and professional insights, challenging outdated myths about older adults and sex. The conversation highlights how physical changes, such as erectile difficulties or vaginal dryness, don’t mark the end of a sex life, but rather call for a new, adapted approach to intimacy.
Key takeaways include the importance of:
- Open communication
- Scheduling intimacy during high-energy times
- Focusing on pleasure over performance
- and Embracing the concept of responsive (rather than spontaneous) desire.
Joan also speaks to the impact of aging on body image, especially for women, and encourages listeners to embrace their capacity for pleasure and connection at every stage of life.
This episode offers a refreshing and empowering reminder: aging doesn’t mark the end of intimacy, it can be the beginning of a deeper, more meaningful chapter.
