Want Better Sex? Sex After 40 Changes More Than Most Couples Realize

Dr. Maria Sophocles, board-certified gynecologist, surgeon, and sexual medicine specialist, joins Dr. Rena Malik to explore sexual burnout, the bedroom gap between partners, and the impact of cultural and historical messaging on sexual expectations and intimacy. They discuss the health benefits of maintaining sexual activity, overcoming shame and miscommunication about sexual needs and desires, practical strategies to restart intimacy from zero, and the importance of communication in long-term relationships. The conversation covers medical interventions like vaginal estrogen and FDA-approved treatments for low desire, societal double standards in aging and sexuality, and embracing evolving definitions of sex and intimacy at every stage of life.
