Episode Description:
What does it actually look like to build a sex life that stays hot — not just for a few months, but for nearly two decades? Carol and David, hosts of The Sexy Lifestyle Podcast, have been together and active in the swinging and ethical non-monogamy lifestyle for 18 years. They didn’t stumble into a great sex life. They chose it, talked about it, planned for it, and kept choosing it even when menopause threw a wrench into everything.
In this candid, spicy, and surprisingly relatable episode, Dr. Stacy sits down with Carol and David to talk about what it really takes to keep desire alive in a long-term relationship — inside the lifestyle and out. From navigating jealousy and communication in open relationships, to the very real challenge of low libido after menopause, to busting the myth that sex has to be spontaneous to be good — this conversation is packed with insight, laughs, and more than a few mic drop moments.
In this episode you will learn:
- Why they chose the swinging lifestyle and never looked back
- What healthy communication in an open relationship actually looks like
- The real truth about libido and desire after menopause
- Why planned sex might be hotter than spontaneous sex
- How to reignite the spark when it’s gone quiet
