Understanding your Sexual Birthright

What is your sexual birthright and can you say, with 100% honesty, that you are able to fully embrace your sexual self without shame, embarrassment or fear? That’s the topic of this week’s discussion with one of my oldest guests, Galen Fous, a sex therapist and educator. During our conversation, we discussed the role of kink and the erotic in maintaining an active sex life, even with physical limitations. Galen encourages couples to have open and honest conversations about their desires and to explore the vast territory of pleasure beyond traditional friction sex. He also highlights the healing and empowering aspects of reclaiming one's sexuality.Sex Advice for Seniors is a reader-supported publication.
