Ep 26 : Eat Me, Let's Talk About Sex...Pt 2

From The Hip

In this second installment, Kath & Mish join forces with writer/director/counselor Melissa Rymer in discussing why it's so goddamn hard to talk about changing sexual needs over the life of a long-term relationship.
Could it be a fear of the unknown?
Will the conversation take us into no-go areas that could end in tragedy?
The gals also ask: why is there no education about marriage, and all the stages that go with it?
Older men/women's sexuality, and the need to re-negotiate what matters...a satisfying end to conversational coitus.
