Speaker Amy Killen argues that the benefits of sex extend beyond the bedroom, spilling into many areas of life to improve happiness and health. She explicitly frames "sex" inclusively—"all kinds of sex"—and emphasizes that sexual creativity and flexibility become increasingly important with age as people adapt partners, activities, and sexual roles. The act of being sexual is presented as a general good regardless of one’s particular "sex puzzle."

The benefits of sex are not confined to the bedroom. The effects of an active sex life spill over, and they infiltrate every little nook and cranny of our lives to make us happier and healthier. Now, when I talk about sex, know that I'm talking about all kinds of sex. There's no one right way to have sex or to enjoy it. And this becomes increasingly important as we get older and have to kind of be a little bit more creative. There are a variety of different parts and partners fitting together and colliding in any number of ways. It's in that fitting together where the magic happens. So no matter the shape of your particular sex puzzle, the act of having sex, of being sexual, is a good.
