Have you noticed that as you get older, what used to turn you on just isn't working anymore? In this episode of Sex for Couples, certified sex therapist Heather Shannon welcomes Suzanne Noble, host of Sex Advice for Seniors, for a candid conversation about sex after 50. Together, they explore changing desire, menopause, erection concerns, and the belief that your sex life has an expiration date.
Suzanne shares her experiences with intimacy in later life, from navigating physical changes to building anticipation and getting creative with pleasure. We discuss why adapting your approach can help you feel more confident and less pressured, how to ask for what you need, and what getting older has taught Suzanne about her body and relationships. Expect practical ideas, honest stories, and plenty of humor.
In this episode, we get into:
• Myths about aging, sexual desire, and when people supposedly stop wanting sex
• Suzanne's experiences with vaginal estrogen and testosterone, and advocating for care
• Changing arousal patterns and why anticipation, touch, and scheduling can help
• Erection concerns, performance anxiety, and pleasure beyond penetration
• Adapting to mobility challenges with positioning, pillows, and creativity
• Body confidence, communication, and giving yourself permission to take your time
• Dating younger men and how Suzanne's relationship priorities have changed
