Quotes From This Episode:
- “Sex isn’t just something you do, a behavior, an activity, it really is who we are.”
- “100% of people will have sexual concerns. All of us, me, you, everyone, will have a sexual concern at some point in their life.”
- “[Menopause] is not a time of endings, it’s a time of new beginnings. This is your Golden Era of sex. This is where you can have sex for pleasure, for play, joy. You can really focus on you.”
