Sex Over 50: Our Better Half
Health
Our Better Half began in 2015 when a 50-something vanilla married lady starts asking questions about modern sex for classic bodies and wonders why everyone keeps laughing. Laura Collins Lyster-Mensh, writer and blogger, talked with experts on sex and sexuality and interviews people around the world on the topic of sex over 50. With segments like "Explain That To a Grandma" we cross generational lines and we get folks talking about healthy sex beyond the childbearing years and into the arthritic ones! We've now been joined by Dr. Jane Fleishman (she's older) and Dr. Ashley Mader (she's younger), who are carrying on Laura's tradition of finding the most interesting people across the world to interview and review.
