'Old' Became a Slur, Here's How to Reclaim Your Power

Episode Description from the Publisher

When did old stop being a number and start feeling like an insult? Especially when it comes to sex. In this episode, sex scholar Nadège unpacks how age became a quiet source of shame in the bedroom, and why that story is deeply wrong. From libido myths and menopause, to erections, queer aging, late bloomers, and erotic confidence at every stage of life, this episode reframes aging as an upgrade, not a decline. Stop fearing that you will become invisible, undesirable, or "past your prime". This conversation is here to remind you that your sexuality doesn't expire. It evolves.
