What happens to women’s sexuality as they age?

Because contrary to what culture — and honestly, a lot of the church — would have us believe, women do not magically stop being sexual beings after 60.

In this episode, I’m joined again by Ashley Odom Rodrigues to talk about her dissertation research interviewing women over the age of 60 about their sex lives, relationships, bodies, identity, and aging.

We talk about the messages women inherit from their mothers, the pressure many women carried throughout marriage, how bodies and desire shift over time, and the surprising freedom many women discovered later in life.

Spoiler: aging doesn’t erase sexuality. For many women, it actually creates space for honesty, confidence, and deeper connection.

If you’ve ever feared aging would mean the end of intimacy, or if you’ve struggled with how purity culture shaped the way you view women’s bodies and sexuality, this episode is going to challenge a lot of assumptions.

You’ve been warned.
