Aging Series: An expert weighs in on why sexual health is important as we age
There are many misconceptions when it comes to sex and older adults. Maybe the most common is – they don’t have it. And yet we know that’s not true. Some people are sexually active through their 90s. Yet the topic remains taboo and uncomfortable. Today, as part of our weeklong series on aging, we’re talking about sexual health as we age. Sexual health as we age might mean we change our very idea of what sex is, and patience with our bodies as they take longer to warm up. We also want to hear from you. What surprised you most about sex and intimacy as you age? What have the biggest challenges been? Have the conversations you have with your partners changed? Even if you have general questions for our expert, call us at 866-893-5722 or email us at atcomments@laist.com. Joining us today on AirTalk is Janie Steckenrider, a sexual health expert specializing in gerontology. We want to hear from you. Call us at 866-893-5722 or email us at atcomments@laist.com.
