I have a long history of being interested in conversations that others avoid. In medical school, I felt that we didn’t talk enough about death, so I organized a lecture series on end-of-life care for my fellow students. Now, as a sexual medicine specialist, I have other conversations from which many medical providers shy away. So, buckle up! Here’s a topic that rarely emerges in medical care: sexuality at the end of life.
As if night sweats, mood swings, mid-section weight gain, low libido and vaginal dryness weren’t bad enough — menopause can also raise the risk of cardiovascular disease, autoimmune disorders and osteoporosis. Is hormone replacement therapy an option?
New research shows two-thirds of women with cancer experience sexual dysfunction. Research also finds that many doctors are not providing guidance or assistance for women who want to navigate these issues. Our guests help us understand how cancer affects sexual health, and what patients and partners should know about how to address challenges they face.
Drs. Jane Fleishman, Jayleen Galarza, Sabitha Pillai-Friedman, and Rosara Torrisi, sex educators and sex therapists, break down the beauty of human sexuality in the latter half of life—we call it our better half. Dr Kranz was interviewed on Our Better Half about “What Feels Good in Your Older Body.”
A recent study found a significant association between lower sexual frequency and greater all-cause mortality in young and middle-aged people with hypertension. Should primary care physicians be offering a pleasure prescription to the 6 in 10 Americans living with chronic illness? How can we help these patients access their capacity for sexual pleasure, a critical and life-affirming component of the human experience?

COVID, Relationships and Dating
July 30, 2020 – Author Alyssa Shelasky recently wrote for the New York Times about the drying up of her libido during the pandemic. No one, she writes, is having “COVID sex.” And while her piece carried a humorous edge, sex therapists say there are serious questions about sex and dating during the pandemic. What’s the right approach? What’s safe? Our guests offer a new roadmap to sex and dating for the foreseeable future.
