Summary

"Passionate lovemaking is a mindfulness practice. Even for me now, I have to get in there, connect with my husband, and focus on sensation." – Susan Bratton I sat down with my longtime friend Susan Bratton, intimacy expert to millions and respected sexual biohacker, for a conversation that was even more fulfilling than I anticipated. Susan advocates for all who desire intimacy and passion throughout their entire lives, and she's here to shatter the myth that sexuality diminishes with age. Quite the opposite – she explains how we can experience our most profound pleasure in our 60s and beyond! Susan reveals that studies show people who continue having passionate lovemaking throughout their lifespan live 10 years longer, look 10 years younger, and die significantly happier. We explore how sexual wellness creates a cascade of beneficial neurotransmitters, oxygenates your brain, improves immune function, and releases natural killer cells (think sexual autophagy!). Most illuminating was her revelation that women need 20-30 minutes of arousal time for full engorgement and pleasure potential – a crucial insight many couples miss. Susan emphasizes that healthy sexuality requires both trust/safety AND variety/novelty, and that our bodies continue responding to the moon's cycles even after menopause. For women struggling with self-judgment or uncertainty about their desires, Susan offers practical communication strategies that transform disconnection into ecstatic connection with both yourself and your partner. What you’ll learn: Why extending your "sex span" directly extends your lifespan and healthspan How women need 20-30 minutes of arousal time for full erectile function and pleasure potential The importance of nitric oxide for sexual blood flow and engorgement as we age Why bedroom communication is the foundation for passionate, connected intimacy How to create a "sex life bucket list" to maintain novelty and excitement with your partner Orgasms are simply learned skills that can be developed at any age The role oxytocin plays in relieving stress and improving overall well-being Strategies for shifting from your busy mind into full-body pleasure Love the Podcast?
