Our Better Half

160: Calling In: How We Feel About Aging and Sexuality


Listen Later

In this first part of a 2-part series, our co-hosts, Jayleen, Sabitha, Rosara, and Jane are sitting around a virtual kitchen table with mugs of tea, great baked goods, and lots of honest reflections. We talk honestly to each other about our own journeys with aging as sexual beings. How we feel about growing older, our gender identities, going through cancer treatment and reconstruction, our images of aging, invisibility, liberation, and more.

One book we mentioned was Peggy Kleinplatz and Dana Menard's book, Magnificent Sex: Lessons from Extraordinary Lovers which we all agreed would be a terrific antidote to all of the negative scripts about aging sexually.
