Aging Uncensored...Sex, Relationships & Aging

In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Andrew Duxbury, a geriatrician, author, and thespian. Drawing from his extensive experience in guiding older adults and their families through the clinical, emotional, and social challenges of aging, Dr. Duxbury helps us explore the intersection of sex, relationships, and aging—three interconnected aspects of life that evolve over time. How do our desires, intimacy, and connections change as we grow older? We dive deep into navigating love, passion, and partnership at every stage of life, with a special focus on the challenges posed by memory loss. What happens when memory fades, and how do we approach consent in relationships affected by cognitive decline? Additionally, we offer tips on how to handle these sensitive topics with your aging parents—how to have open, respectful conversations about intimacy, relationships, and consent as they age. Join us for an insightful conversation about embracing change, maintaining communication, and ensuring mutual respect and consent in all aspects of relationships as we age.
