Smarter Sex Starts Now, with Emily Morse

Why does desire feel so different after 40? And what can actually reignite it?

In this episode, I talk with sex educator Emily Morse about sex after 40—what changes, what improves, and what we’ve been taught completely wrong. We dive into hormones, responsive desire, sexual intelligence, and why pleasure is a key pillar of overall wellness.

Emily Morse is a sex educator, doctor of human sexuality, and the host of the wildly popular podcast, Sex with Emily. For over 20 years, she’s been helping people ditch shame, boost pleasure, and have smarter, more connected sex.

What you’ll learn:

(06:04) Why only about 20% of women orgasm from penetration and what that really means for your pleasure.

(08:37) How stress, trauma, and shame act as “pleasure thieves” that quietly suppress libido.

(09:33) Why adding lube can dramatically increase orgasm likelihood and improve comfort.

(14:41) The five pillars of sexual intelligence and how they impact desire after 40.

(29:21) How vaginal estrogen and hormone support can transform sexual comfort and confidence.

(33:20) Why mindful masturbation helps you truly understand your body and close the orgasm gap.

(39:28) How using the “Three T’s”—timing, tone, and turf—can radically improve sexual communication.
