In this short advice‑style video, the speaker addresses the relatively unspoken situation where an older woman finds herself wanting more sex than her male partner. She notes that most relationship advice focuses on men feeling unsatisfied, but the reverse can also occur, as illustrated by a recent radio phone‑in. Acknowledging the difficulty of raising the topic, she offers practical, low‑pressure communication ideas inspired by therapist Esther Perel: leaving a flirty Post‑it note on the bathroom mirror or bedroom pillow, and sending a suggestive text to signal readiness for intimacy. The segment ends with an invitation for viewers to share additional tips, positioning the advice as a starting point for open dialogue.

What can you do if you're an older woman and you want more sex than your partner seems to desire? It's not something we hear about very often. Always it's the men writing to me going about their partner, their female partner doesn't seem to desire sex as much as they do, but that's not always the case. Sometimes, as I heard the other night when I did a radio phone-in, it's actually the woman who wants more sex. I think there it is difficult sometimes to bring the subject up, especially if you're not comfortable talking about sex with your partner. But one of the little suggestions that was— that I had that actually came via Esther Perel is leave a little Post-it note with a sexy note on it on the bathroom mirror, on the bedroom pillow, or perhaps if you like texting, you could send your partner a little text, a little sexy text to let you— to let them know that you are up for it and you're looking forward to them getting home. Just a couple of little suggestions there, but I'm open to hearing more from you.
