EPISODE 51: THE SECRET SEX LIVES OF WOMEN OVER 40

If you judged an entire group of people based on the t-shirts that are marketed to them at Target, then you'd think all women are obsessed with wine, dogs, and the TV show Friends. Whether or not we all are (we're not), the fact is, there's a lot about women that's completely manufactured in order just to sell us t-shirts.

If you judged an entire group of people based on the t-shirts that are marketed to them at Target, then you’d think all women are obsessed with wine, dogs, and the TV show Friends. Whether or not we all are (we’re not), the fact is, there’s a lot about women that’s completely manufactured in order just to sell us t-shirts. Meanwhile, information about our true desires is hidden away in shame.

Well, as your favorite truth teller I’m here to say that it turns out women over 40 are actual true genuine real sexual beings just like other human people types. What!?!? Yes, it’s hella true. We’re also not all obsessed with wine, dogs or whoever the fuck is your lobster. It’s more likely that we’re obsessed with Idris Elba. At least the 100 members of the 40 Thrive community who responded to our semi-scientific sex survey claim to be hotter for Mr. Elba than anyone else. But can you blame them?

No, you cannot.

Searching for truth over marketing, we asked 100 women over 40 a series of questions about their sex lives including sexual fantasies, how often they’re having sex, how happy they are in bed and how likely they are to hook up with another lady person. The answers may surprise you.

My co-host for this episode is my very good friend and podcast doula, Jackie MacDougall who reached out to the 40 Thrive Community, which she runs.

She also did all of the math.

During our conversation, I refer back to a previous episode I did on cheating, you can listen to it here.

I also say that I will share the data from the survey. Feel free to click through the slides below.

Even if you’re also a woman over 40, whatever you think you know about the sex lives and desires of your fellow women over 40 is probably incorrect. Except the Idris Elba part because, duh!
