Between 40 and 70% of women in midlife are dealing with real changes in their sex lives like desire, dryness, disconnection and most of us are suffering in complete silence. Not telling our partners, not telling our doctors, and definitely not telling our girlfriends.
So Holly did what any good podcast host would do. She brought in a sex therapist.
In this episode, Holly sits down with Baliegh Butler, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and AASECT-Certified Sex Therapist, to have the conversation most of us have been avoiding. Spoiler: sex therapy is nothing like that Sex and the City episode. Nothing.
In this episode we talk about:
Why so many women in their 40s and 50s are experiencing changes in desire, arousal, and intimacy — and why it is NOT a personal failure
What perimenopause actually does to your sex life (and why nobody warned us)
What sex therapy really looks like and why you might wish you'd gone sooner
Why we don't talk to our partners, our doctors, or even our girlfriends about this
The importance of knowing your own body and how to communicate that to your partner
Vibrators as self-care tools, water-based lube, and yes, Bluetooth options
Quality vs. frequency and why pressure kills desire
The one conversation every couple needs to have but keeps avoiding
Rapid fire answers from a sex therapist:
Best kept secret for keeping the spark alive after 40
Vibrator: essential self-care tool or still taboo?
