Why is dating so hard in midlife? Are we all sending mixed signals?

Abe Morgentaler, MD & Marianne Brandon, PhD are the hosts of the Sex Doctors Podcast, where they deep dive into the science & psychology of sexual health & relationships.

Dr. Morgentaler is a Harvard trained MD who opened the first comprehensive men’s health center in the US, is the leading authority in testosterone therapy, author of four books & currently the Blavatnik Faculty Fellow in Health & Longevity at Harvard Medical School.

Dr. Brandon is a clinical psychologist, author & futurist whose professional writing includes aging & sex, the challenges of monogamy & female low libido.

In this episode, you’ll hear both personal & professional perspectives about the dating pool & approaches including app culture, dick pics, gender equality, hormones, “the ick” & desire-killing control.
