The Art of Aging: What Happens to Your Sex Life as You Age?

The Art of Aging: What Happens to Your Sex Life as You Age?

As I get closer to my 70th birthday, I’ve been thinking a lot about what it really means to age well. That’s what inspired “The Art of Aging,” where I’m talking with leading experts about the science of living healthier, longer. In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Lauren Streicher, clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine and founding medical director of the Northwestern Medicine Center for Sexual Medicine and Menopause, to talk about something almost nobody discusses about getting older: sex. We get into why desire can disappear, why sex can become painful after menopause, and the questions you sent us, from testosterone and pelvic floor therapy to the orgasm gap. Her big message: changes in your sex life aren’t just something you have to accept as you age. In partnership with Northwell’s Katz Institute for Women’s Health.


Want more from Dr. Streicher? Her audiobook Come Again, a candid, science-based guide to sex and pleasure in midlife, is out April 20, 2027, from Simon & Schuster Audio. Preorder here: https://bit.ly/47yjaoY
