Great Sex at any Age - One Couples Story On the Couch with Dr. Cheryl

No matter your age, you CAN have a great sex life. But it’s not going to happen without a little help. Tips, toys, tools and techniques - there are many methods to help you perform better, connect more fully, and have more and better sex with your sweetheart. At any age.  Have you been with your partner awhile and noticed that your sexual energy has… well, slowed down a little? Maybe you noticed it more after your first baby, or after you both turned 40, or maybe it’s even been a post-menopausal drop in action. If you’re sitting there thinking, “Okay, that’s totally us, but it’s too embarrassing to admit!” Here’s the good news: major life events, physical changes, aging… they’re all completely normal reasons for a change in your sex life. The even better news: I’m going to tell you exactly what needs to happen to pull you and your sweetheart out of the rut and into bed.  Welcome to episode three of my “On the Couch with Dr. Cheryl” series. For the month of September, my episodes will focus on the Passion Triangle. I’m featuring a real-life couple from my Become Passion—Create Love That Lasts a Lifetime program, a 10-week online immersion couples program. In this exclusive immersion program, I teach real tools and techniques that will help you and your partner learn to embrace your ever-evolving, ever-maturing relationship and rediscover the passion you’ve been missing.  In this episode, I introduce you to Dean and Marina, a couple in their 60s who have been together for more than four decades, and how I taught them to reconnect sexually, embrace their aging bodies, and Become Passion. I also bust the pervasive cultural myth that all men are sex-obsessed, perpetually horny dogs—because guess what? Not only is it untrue, it’s taking a toll on your own sex life! Every long-term couple experiences life-altering events, every long-term couple ages, and every long-term couple deals with changes in their intimacy.  So, yes, the struggle is real… but the struggle is common, and the struggle is also totally normal.  In This Episode, You Will Learn: The story of one of the couples from the Become Passion online program and how they were able to overcome the physical and mental obstacles that were standing in the way of a healthy sex life. (04:45) In order to create passion, romance, and reignite your sex life, you have to be honest with yourself and with your honey first—so get those elephants out in the open!  (06:43) Our bodies change as we age… and it is totally okay to modify the way we have sex to accommodate those changes. (10:52) The “Good Enough” sex model AKA why every sexual encounter doesn’t have to be a pinnacle experience. (19:50) Rings, vibration, and lube—oh my! Some solutions, tips, and techniques that really work for those experiencing sexual dysfunction. (22:43) Treat your sex life like you would any other can’t-miss appointment.  (25:21) Your weekly LoveByte. (32:24)   Q&A: If my partner has trouble with their erections, does that mean they’re no longer attracted to me? The cultural myth that all people possessing a penis are horny all the time and are always ready and willing to have sex is simply untrue. Those with penises experience changes in their body and sexual lives due to stress, aging, and physical issues just the same as those with vaginas.  Sex with my partner has recently become physically uncomfortable, but I don’t want to tell them and hurt their feelings. What should I do? The most important aspect to emotional and physical intimacy is openness and honesty. If something has changed for you sexually, tell your sweetheart and get it out in the open. If you keep it a secret, it will make it that much harder to solve the problem and may even create distance between you.  What does it take to maintain a healthy romantic relationship? The three main keys to a healthy love relationship are:  Intimacy, i.e. communication, conflict resolution, spiritual connection Thrill, i.e. creating romance and interest and ensuring your partner feels appreciated and special Sensuality, i.e. the erotic aspect; an intimate relationship with a partner is basically friendship plus nudity Resources mentioned: Buddha's Bedroom Dr. Barry McCarthy Sign up here for the waitlist to the Become Passion—Create Love That Lasts a Lifetime online immersion couples program with Dr. Cheryl.
