So refreshing to listen to this! Thank you Suzanne and Galen. I shut down my quite active sexual self around age 60 ( now 74) when due to post menopausal changes I couldn’t work out how to do sex any more. As a bi single older woman it was also not easy to figure out how to meet like minded others for ?? Non sexual sex?? Also strange that suddenly neither me or my friends who were part of the sexual revolution in the 70s, were talking about sex any more, when we used to talk about it all the time! But your conversation (one of the very few I’ve heard in the past 14 years!) has got me thinking about how to be more proactive on all this before it’s too late, so thank you so much!

So glad that we prompted you to consider how sex in later life could be pleasurable (but different than our younger days). I'm a great believer that how we experience sexual pleasure evolves with age and the number of birthdays we've had shouldn't have a bearing on that.

It’s so nice to hear from Galen again (we must have met in London years ago), and there are so many gems in this conversation, loved it! What stood out for me is that you will never get what you desire sexually if you don’t address it with your partner! Some people take their sexual desires to their grave, as Galen put it, never addressing them. Thank you, Suzanne and Galen!
