In this eye-opening episode of Inner Peace, Better Health, host Shreya sits down with certified sex educator and founder of Taboo to Truth, Karen Bigman, to challenge one of the most persistent myths around aging – that sexual desire fades away after 50. Karen shares how menopause, body changes, and cultural shame create silence around midlife intimacy, and why it’s time to break that taboo. Together, they explore the emotional, physical, and even spiritual aspects of sexuality as we age, how open communication can transform relationships, and practical ways to reconnect with pleasure. Whether you’re single, partnered, or simply curious, this conversation is packed with guidance to help you embrace your evolving sexuality with confidence and curiosity.

Karen Bigman is a certified sex educator and founder of Taboo to Truth, a platform dedicated to dismantling the stigma around sex and aging. After her own personal awakening post-divorce, Karen launched her popular podcast and online courses, helping individuals 50+ rediscover intimacy and pleasure.

• Aging does not mean the end of intimacy—sexuality evolves and deepens with experience.

• Menopause can shift desire, but education and hormone therapy options can make a big difference.

• Shame around sex after 50 keeps many from seeking solutions—open communication is key.

• Desire often becomes “responsive” rather than spontaneous as we age; intimacy thrives when couples explore new experiences together.

• Novelty and self-discovery are essential: learning your own body, preferences, and boundaries builds confidence and connection.

• Addressing sexual health challenges (dryness, pain, erectile dysfunction) is important for overall well-being and is entirely possible with the right support.

• Reclaiming pleasure is not just physical; it can also boost emotional health, self-esteem, and relationship satisfaction.
