A favorite funny quote from one of my favorite funny ladies!
"I blame my mother for my poor sex life. All she told me was 'the man goes on top and the woman underneath.' For three years my husband and I slept in bunk beds."

Celebrating Sexuality: Why Women Over 50 Should Embrace Pleasure and Orgasms
For far too long, society has perpetuated the idea that sexuality fades with age, especially for women. But let’s set the record straight: Sexuality doesn’t have an expiration date. Women over 50 can (and should!) experience vibrant, fulfilling sex lives—and yes, that includes having orgasms. In fact, embracing pleasure at this stage of life is not only possible but incredibly empowering.
At 520Aftermath, we believe in breaking taboos, embracing holistic wellness, and celebrating life at every stage. So, let’s dive into why prioritizing intimacy and pleasure after 50 is one of the best gifts you can give yourself.
The Benefits of Sexuality Over 50
1. Physical Health Benefits
A healthy sex life contributes to overall physical well-being. Orgasms release endorphins, the body's natural painkillers, which can help alleviate aches, improve sleep, and even boost your immune system. Regular intimacy has also been shown to:
Improve cardiovascular health by increasing blood circulation.
Balance hormone levels, which can help manage menopause symptoms like hot flashes or mood swings.
Strengthen pelvic floor muscles, reducing the risk of incontinence.
2. Mental and Emotional Well-Being
Sexuality is about more than just physical pleasure—it’s about feeling alive. Intimacy releases oxytocin, the “bonding hormone,” which reduces stress, strengthens emotional connections, and enhances mental health. Women who embrace their sexuality often experience:
Reduced anxiety and depression.
Enhanced self-confidence and body image.
A renewed sense of vitality and joy.
Breaking Myths and Taboos
Let’s address the elephant in the room: societal myths about older women and sex. The media often portrays aging women as uninterested or incapable of enjoying intimacy, but nothing could be further from the truth.
Myth: Women lose their sex drive after menopause.
Reality: Hormonal changes may shift libido, but this is an opportunity to explore new ways to experience pleasure.
Myth: It’s embarrassing to discuss sex at this age.
Reality: Talking openly about your needs is liberating and builds stronger relationships.
By shattering these stereotypes, women over 50 can reclaim their sexual agency and rewrite the narrative around aging and intimacy.
Exploring Pleasure Holistically
A fulfilling sex life isn’t just about physical connection; it’s also about nurturing your body, mind, and soul. Here are some holistic approaches to enhancing intimacy:
Herbal Remedies: Natural supplements like maca root, ashwagandha, and ginseng can boost energy, reduce stress, and support libido.
Cannabis: Many women are turning to cannabis for relaxation and heightened sensations. Topical products like oils or balms can enhance intimacy, while edibles or tinctures promote relaxation and mindfulness.
Mindfulness Practices: Yoga, meditation, and breathing exercises can help you connect with your body and increase sensual awareness.
Tips for Enhancing Sexual Wellness
If you’re ready to embrace your sexuality at this stage of life, here are some practical steps:
1. Prioritize Self-Care: A healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, and stress management, lays the foundation for sexual wellness.
2. Rediscover Self-Exploration: Take time to understand what feels good for you. Explore new experiences, sensations, or tools, such as toys or sensual rituals.
3. Open Conversations: Communication is key to intimacy. Talk openly with your partner about your needs, desires, and boundaries.
4. Try Something New: Whether it’s lingerie, role-playing, or experimenting with different environments, keeping things fresh can reignite passion.
. Whether you’re single, in a long-term relationship, or exploring new connections, embracing your sexuality over 50 is about empowerment, self-love, and joy.
At 520Aftermath and Reba's Tomorrow, we celebrate the natural, holistic journey to wellness—including the deeply personal journey of intimacy.
It’s never too late to experience pleasure, prioritize your needs, and enjoy all the benefits that come with it.
So, let go of the taboos, celebrate your desires, and remember: your sexuality is yours to embrace, unapologetically.
