Our Next Menopause & Women's Health Cafe In Chingford: What Nobody Tells You About Sex After Menopause
with Melanie Knight, Somatic Sex Educator and Sexological Bodyworker
Most of us arrive at menopause having quietly been handed a story: that this part of life is winding down. Desire feels further away, sex can become uncomfortable, and it is rarely something we talk about, even with the people closest to us.
In this hour Melanie looks at what actually changes and what does not. Not only that desire stops arriving the way it used to, but that what we want changes as well, and why the version of sex most of us were taught stops fitting a body that is no longer in any hurry.
Alongside the talk there is one short practice you can do sitting in your chair, fully clothed, with nothing to say out loud. No experience needed, and you are welcome to sit out any part of it.
Melanie Knight is a certified sexological bodyworker and somatic sex educator based in North London, and faculty at the Somatic Sexology School. Last year she ran her own study with a group of women on exactly this territory, and she will share what they found, including the parts that surprised her.
