Bringing Intimacy Back

In many different cultures, sex and intimacy is rarely spoken about. The lack of these conversations can create an environment where even bringing up sex is shamed. Dr. April and Dr. Kelly speak with Pamela Havey Lau, author of “A Friend In Me: How to Be a Safe Haven for Other Women.” They discuss why it is that intimate conversations aren’t being had between women and how older women can create a warm environment for younger women who are curious about intimacy.
