How can sex after 70 be more fulfilling than in your twenties?

Lisa Spain's journey through menopause to thriving sexuality offers a glimpse into unexpected and sustained vitality. Contrary to the common belief that sexual desire diminishes with age, Lisa shares how her libido and intimacy have only improved, emphasizing the importance of staying active and open. Her experience serves as a beacon for older women, illustrating that fulfilling sex lives can continue well beyond midlife.
