When you have a long-term relationship, that sex kind of takes the second-- in the back seat, so to speak.
And the reason being is because you prefer more of a hug and some understanding rather than getting down and dirty. [MUSIC PLAYING]
Sexual libido changes in women as we age. It kind of figures out that in our early 20s,
we have a lot of libido, not a lot of worries or anything else like that. Remember, as I always tell my patients, libido, 90% of it
comes from up here. Only 10% of it comes from down there. So with that said, as we do age, we're more worried.
We're more stressed. And we're also dividing ourselves up into moms and our jobs and everything else along
with it and caretakers, as you already know. One of the things that we have an expectation also is when you
have a long-term relationship, that sex kind of takes the second-- in the back seat, so to speak.
And the reason being is because you prefer more of a hug and some understanding rather than getting down and dirty.
With that said, though, sexual libido and also sex is a very important aspect of any kind of relationship.
And again, it is very, very important to have some communication between the both of you. [AUDIO LOGO]
