About

A roadmap for midlife women, couples, clinicians and anyone wanting to understand—and change—the societal, historical and physiological effects of our Sexspan.

Sex in midlife can be a bumpy road, especially for women. Our bodies change with age, and those changes can lead to shame, confusion, and the loss of intimacy. The Bedroom Gap shows us how society developed destined-to-fail gender roles and expectations in the bedroom and makes clear how we can level the playing field between midlife men and women.

This groundbreaking yet easily accessible guide not only clarifies the physical changes of menopause and how they affect sex in midlife, it also details how we can treat those changes, reframe our views on pleasure and desire, narrow the discrepancy in sexual functioning between middle age men and women, and optimize sexual pleasure after 40.

"A powerful, long-overdue exploration of the silent struggles women face in midlife around intimacy, identity, and inequality." —Dr. Mary Claire Haver, New York Times bestselling author The New Menopause
