Just Between Us with Jennifer Zamparelli
So many of us quietly panic that sex has a shelf life, that once your body changes, once life gets busy, once menopause hits or illness enters the chat, desire is supposed to fade and that’s just that. But what if that isn’t true?
This week on Just Between Us, Jennifer is joined by Emily Power Smith, clinical sexologist and sex educator, for a really grounding conversation about sex and ageing. They talk about what actually shifts after 35 (and why that doesn’t mean anything is “wrong”), how menopause can impact desire, arousal and orgasms, and why it’s worth ditching the old “script” of what sex is meant to look like.
Emily shares practical, compassionate ways to adapt — from taking pressure off, starting gently, and focusing on pleasure instead of performance, to learning how to communicate what you want now (not what you wanted ten years ago). They also talk about sex through illness, disability and pain, and why intimacy doesn’t have to disappear just because your body is different.
