Скачать или смотреть What Fuels Desire in Midlife?

I sat down with Whitni Miller, a queer sex educator and pleasure coach, to talk about something we don’t talk about enough: what it really takes to feel sexually safe, desired, and connected in midlife.

This conversation is personal, powerful, and full of insight. We unpack the difference between safety and security, explore how non-sexual touch can reignite intimacy, and dive into what queer and late bloomer experiences can teach all of us about pleasure, identity, and play.

💬 In this episode, we explore:
• Why safety—not spontaneity—fuels desire
• How queerness reshapes intimacy and connection
• Responsive vs. spontaneous desire (and why you’re not broken)
• The underrated power of non-sexual touch
• What late bloomers know about reclaiming pleasure
• Sex ed, censorship, and showing up online with honesty

If you’ve ever felt confused about your desire, out of sync with your partner, or like you missed the sex ed you should have gotten—this episode is for you.

🧠 Let’s normalize the full spectrum of sexuality in midlife.
