Episode Details

We spend a lot of time preparing our bodies for the next 30 or 40 years.

Strength. Mobility. Sleep. Recovery. Longevity.

But almost nobody prepares for how sex, desire, intimacy, and pleasure may change over that same stretch of time.

In this conversation, I speak with Joan Price, one of the best-known voices on sex and aging, about what changes, what can actually get better, and what we should understand long before we think we need to.

Joan is 82, but much of what she shares may be most useful in your thirties, forties, and fifties.

We talk about physical changes, why exercise matters, how desire evolves, why communication becomes more important, and how intimacy can adapt as we age.

This is a conversation about the next 40 years of your body — and a part of longevity we rarely prepare for.

Note: This episode includes frank discussion of sex, sexual function, grief, and intimacy.
