Description
If sex feels like a chore in your 40s or 50s, you're not broken.
In this episode of the Sex After Kids Podcast, we're unpacking why desire disappears during perimenopause — even when love hasn't — and how to reconnect with intimacy without pushing through pain or guilt.
You'll learn:
- How hormone shifts impact desire, arousal, and lubrication
- Why stress and mental load can shut pleasure down
- The "stress-sex loop" that makes everything harder (literally and emotionally)
- How orgasm can support your health — when it's actually wanted
- The one shift that helped me move out of a six-month dry spell
Whether you're feeling disconnected from your sex drive, worried sex will hurt, or supporting a partner through these changes — this episode is for you.
