Episode 7: Sex and Relationships: Midlife Secrets Shared by Rebekah Beneteau
EPISODE SUMMARY:
Young, old, male, or female, we all share something in common: sex. Almost all of us like to have sex. Nearly everyone does it, and yet, having and discussing sex in midlife can be difficult. For women, there are so many stereotypes and stigmas placed on the sexuality of older women. Aging is often associated with being less desirable and less sexually active, and it makes us hesitant to want to be open and confident with our desires and promiscuity. To help spread positivity surrounding midlife women feeling confident and embracing sex is Rebekah Beneteau. As a sex and relationship coach, Rebekah has seen and heard firsthand the struggles midlife women face when it comes to sex. Rebekah herself struggled for years with her own relationship with sex, prioritizing the pleasure of others over her own. Now, Rebekah uses her experiences to share tips and tools to help people embrace sex and sexuality, spice things up, and feel confident. In today’s episode, we sat down with Rebekah to discuss how midlife women can get back their sexual confidence, how to rediscover your partner, how to express sexual wants and needs to your partner, and the importance of normalizing conversations about sex in society.
Rebekah Beneteau:
As a sex and relationship coach, Rebekah Beneteau understands all too well the rocky relationships we have with our bodies and sex. For years, Rebekah struggled with her own negative relationship with sex, seeing sex as a way to please others rather than something to please herself with. In her thirties, she vowed to make her own sexual pleasure a priority. She discovered Lafayette Morehouse’s research into expanding sexual potential through the female orgasm, trained as a Sacred Intimate under tantra teachers affiliated with Shalom Mountain in 2013, and received Fem Domme training from Midori in 2014. Through her experiences, Rebekah created a more positive and pleasure-filled sex life for herself. Now, she uses her expertise to help others overcome sexual hurdles in their lives and better their sexual experiences both with themselves and their partners. Along with being a sex and relationship coach, Rebekah is also an ordained non-denominational minister by the Sanctuary of the Beloved church, Sacred oOder of Melchidezek, a blogger, and an author.
