Why Sex & Intimacy Feel Different After 40

Understanding Midlife, Menopause & Changing Libido

Why sex and intimacy feel different after 40 - and what you can do about it

Sex, desire and intimacy often change after 40 - especially during midlife, menopause and andropause.
February is often when people realise things didn’t magically reset.

The holidays are over. Routines are back. Life has settled…yet desire, intimacy or confidence still feel off.

If sex feels different than it used to…

If connection feels harder to reach…

If your body isn’t responding the way you expect…

You’re not alone, and you’re not broken.

This one hour, evidence-based webinar is designed to help you understand what’s happening in your body, your brain and your relationships and what you can actually do about it.

You might be noticing:

• Low libido or reduced desire after 40
• Sex feels awkward, uncomfortable or off the table altogether
• Changes in arousal, erections or lubrication
• Difficulty feeling “in the mood” even when you want intimacy
• Stress, exhaustion, or self-consciousness interfering with sex
• The spark feels faint or confusing

Whether you’re single, partnered, dating, or in a long-term relationship, this session is for you.

Midlife sexuality affects everyone

Midlife changes don’t just affect women, and they don’t just affect couples.

Hormonal shifts, stress, health changes, and life pressure can impact:

• Sexual desire
• Confidence and body image
• Pleasure
• Intimacy and emotional connection
• Sexual response for both men and women

Yet most people are left guessing, Googling, or silently worrying something is “wrong.”

What you’ll learn in this session

In this warm, engaging and practical webinar, you’ll learn:

• What’s actually happening in your body and brain after 40
• How hormonal changes and menopause affect desire, arousal, erections, lubrication, and pleasure
• Why intimacy and sex still matter - even when they look different
• How stress, fatigue and pressure quietly shut down desire
• Practical ways to reconnect with pleasure, confidence and intimacy - on your own or with a partner

This is real talk, not medical jargon and not therapy.

Two expert perspectives = one supportive conversation

Sharon Cassar Galea will explain:

• Menopause and midlife hormonal changes in women
• Common (and treatable) sexual health changes in men
• What’s normal, what’s not, and when to seek support

Vanessa Tarfon will explore:

• Why stress and pressure kill intimacy
• How to rebuild pleasure, connection and sexual confidence in real life

Together, they’ll help you understand what’s happening and how to move forward with ease.

This session is for you if:

• You’re single and want to understand your changing body and sexuality
• You’re partnered and noticing distance, avoidance or mismatched desire
• You’re dating and want confidence in your sexual self again
• You’re curious, confused, or quietly worried about your sex life after 40

No pressure.
No fixing.
No performing.

Just clarity, reassurance and practical tools you can actually use.
