045 - Menopause, Addiction, & Reintegrating Sex

Email us your questions! - [e-mail]

Thanks for listening to Unfiltered: Real Talk About Sex and Love, with Ashley and Heather.

In this episode, we answer these questions:

• Do you have any suggestions on menopause and the effect it has on sexual intimacy? How to work through it, as well as just how important is sexual intimacy in a relationship? I know emotional intimacy is key but what about the physical?
• I would be interested in hearing a talk about the challenges of sex after menopause, especially when porn was in our history. I have a lot of pain with intercourse even with lubrication, so we haven’t had sex that way in several years. My husband suffered from Delayed Ejaculation, probably due to masturbation. We basically stopped trying to do intercourse a couple years ago and just manually stimulate. I’ve been through Betrayal and Beyond and my husband is currently doing Seven Pillars. We have healed so much emotionally and sexually, but we kind of miss intercourse. Any suggestions?
• I'm a recovering porn addict 2 years sober. I was wondering if you guys have experience in sensate focus and any insight you may have about that and renewing intimacy in my relationship?
