The New Sexual Playground: Teaching Health Professionals about Aging and Sex

This episode of the Our Better Half podcast features Dr. Gretchen Frey, a retired OB/GYN now writing and presenting about sexuality in aging populations. Dr. Frey seeks to normalize the challenges that individuals and couples face as they age and want to remain emotionally and sexually engaged.

Our idea of a satisfying meal, a satisfying date, a satisfying afternoon are all gonna change as we get older and a satisfying sexual experience changes too. It’s good to take the focus off orgasm which may be a less certain event as we get older and shift the focus to pleasure. I love the analogy that one speaker gave a while back which is sex ought to be a playground.
