Here’s something I wish someone had told me years ago. Young doesn’t mean sexually confident, 40s doesn’t mean sexually over, and the biggest mistake most couples make has nothing to do with technique. It’s assuming they already know what their partner wants. In this episode I’m walking through what actually happens to a woman’s body and desire across her 20s, 30s, 40s, and beyond: what changes, what stays the same, and what you can do to be a better partner at every stage.
