Better Sex In Menopause and Beyond

How’s better sex in menopause sound? For many it sounds like a distant and foreign trip.

Sex is one of the most popular topics on the show. Many women tell me their partners are glad they’re attending. Sex is such a hot topic (see what I did there?) that low libido was a topic answered one of the first three episodes of the Flipping 50 TV show.

Did you know there are two types of desire? And did you know that sex never has to stop?
