Hey friend,

Can I call you ‘friend”? Cuz I already feel like we’re friends in my head.

So just between us….

…How’s your sex life?

No, I mean really….How Is Your Sex Life?

If your answer on a scale of 1-10 is somewhere between 5 and non-existent, girl, you are not alone!

On today’s episode, I’m joined once again by my husband, Rick, as we continue our special “Love & Hormones” Spring Series (continuing every other Thursday throughout May and June.)

Warning: This episode features a discussion about sex and intimacy and may include explicit content not suitable for children. (So… you may want to listen to this one through your headphones…or at least make sure the kids are out of the house before turning on your speakers!) In this episode, you will learn:

• The cause of low libido in women in midlife

• Why sex is important in marriage satisfaction

• Self-image issues and other libido killers

• What is “responsive desire” and how can it improve your sex life?

• How sexual desire works in men vs. women

• How menopause affects sex drive…and can sexual desire come back?

Plus, Rick and I get very candid about our ups and downs in the bedroom during the last 26+ years (no pun intended) including how we weathered dry spells, issues with aging and body image, and how we’re still working to keep things fresh.

If you’ve been struggling at all with libido, sex, or intimacy in your relationship, you won’t want to miss this very juicy episode!
