Summary

As taboos go, sex between two consenting adults should not be up there as one of them.

And yet! When we talk about sex in old age many people have an awkward reaction to it. Ask yourself this - is there an age when you intend on stop having sex?

Joining Kate today is senior sex author and advocate of ageless sexuality, Joan Price, to tackle the myths and challenges that come with sex as you get older, and explore how this has been depicted historically.

For more information on Joan’s work, visit her website here.

This episode was edited and produced by Stuart Beckwith and the senior producer was Charlotte Long.
