Dr. Stacy Friedman, sexologist and sex coach, tackles what really happens to sex and desire when your body changes the rules on you. In this sexologist talk, intimacy coach Dr. Stacy breaks down what actually happens to desire after surgery, with mobility limits, and through hormone shifts like menopause, low testosterone, and thyroid changes — covering prostate surgery, hysterectomy, and heart procedure recovery, plus the everyday stuff that rarely gets talked about, like bad knees, bad hips, bad backs, and stiff shoulders.
In This Episode You Will Learn
- Why desire doesn’t disappear after surgery — it goes into hiding and waits for safety
- How to adapt intimacy around mobility limits without turning it clinical
- What menopause, low T, and thyroid shifts actually do to desire
- Why comfort tools are strategy, not surrender
- How to grieve the old version of easy sex and build a hotter one
