233. You Need To Be Rethinking Sex in Your 20s & 30s (So You Can Have Great Sex For The Rest Of Your Life)


Listen Later

Great sex doesn’t just happen, it’s something we build and nurture over time. This week, we’re joined by Dr. Maria Sophocles, a nationally recognized OB-GYN, menopause and sexual health expert, and fierce advocate for women’s pleasure. She’s here to talk about why rethinking sex in your 20s and 30s is the key to having great sex for life, how to close the “bedroom gap,” and why better sex education matters for every generation.


  • Why your 20s and 30s set the stage for lifelong sexual health. Dr. Sophocles explains how your early approach to intimacy impacts desire, connection, and pleasure as you age.
  • The bedroom gap and why it matters. Learn what the bedroom gap is, why women are most impacted, and how we can close it.
  • The missing piece in most sex education. We talk about why traditional sex ed focuses on fear instead of pleasure and how that leaves us unprepared.
  • How to rethink sex as a skill you can grow. From communication to curiosity, Dr. Sophocles shows us why sex isn’t static and how it can keep evolving.
  • The role of menopause in sexual health. Understand how desire and arousal change in midlife and what support actually works.
  • Why talking about sex matters. Breaking down shame and silence is the first step toward better intimacy and pleasure.
  • Practical steps for better sex at any age. Dr. Sophocles shares accessible tips for people to feel more confident and connected in the bedroom.
