In this second half of a 2-part episode, I continue my chat with author, sex educator, speaker and sexual health writer, Walker Thornton. We continue the conversation about our sexuality as midlife women, encouraging women to discuss with their partner what pleases them sexually, being in fear of menopause, self-pleasuring, and more. It’s a candid and stimulating conversation that you don’t want to miss! 

Be sure to listen to Part 1 of this episode. You can find it, and the show notes, HERE.
