Did you know women can experience up to eight different kinds of orgasms? Yup, that’s news to us too. 


Let’s face it, sex is one of those things you just don’t want to talk about with your friends (at least I don’t!) but you still may have some burning questions. 


That’s why in today’s episode we’re speaking to the expert, Dr. Shannon Chavez, a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Certified Sex Therapist. 


Take a listen as we have a candid conversation about sex in midlife. 


In this episode, we’re talking about… 

  • How a conservative former Catholic girl becomes a sex therapist 
  • What sex therapy actually is and who it can help 
  • When you should seek out help around your sexuality and sexual relationships 
  • Why there is less shame around sexuality and why people are more loud and proud 
  • Libido, changes in preferences, and how to change things up 
  • Sex after being in a long-term magnanimous relationship 
  • The eight different kinds of orgasms women can experience!
