Kelly and Chip revisit a conversation with sex expert, Susan Bratton, that has them asking the question - does sex get better with age? Plenty of studies and research have suggested that sex does get better with age, and that it's a habit that only improves with experience and understanding of self. So contrary to common myth, you're unlikely to be having the best sex of your life in your 20s. That particular accolade kicks in a few years later.  -https://www.flashpack.com/us/solo/relationships/better-sex-30s-40s-empowerment/#:~:text=Plenty%20of%20studies%20and%20research,in%20a%20few%20years%20later. In this conversation, Susan is discussing the importance of sex for mental health, but ends up telling a story about having sex with her husband the night before and what that looks like in her 60’s. Susan addresses how unhappy she was previously in their sex life and what changed for her and them once she decided to voice her needs and they began exploring more. Susan also explains how that situation ultimately led her to create her current business of teaching couples about having heart connected, mind blowing sex at any age.  Resources mentioned:Moresexmoreoften.comExpandherorgasmtonight.comBetterlover.comInstagram: @susanbrattonFollow Velvet's Edge on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/velvetsedge/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
