After a decades long marriage, our guest, Karen Bigman, was finally in a position to explore her sexuality in a new way, only to find out she was anorgasmic - unable to orgasm. With a conviction that pleasure is her birthright, she pursued medical treatment and learned a lot about her body and her desires along the way.

Sometimes, like our everyday lives, sex lives can run on auto-pilot as we go through the motions of what we think it's supposed to be. In this week's conversation with guest Magenta Freeman, we talk about what it looks like to finally slow down and discover what's out there for us. We talk about sexual liberation later in life and about deciding that "fine" just isn't good enough.
