In today’s show, we are answering more of your sex questions! We recently had two questions come through our podcast voicemail that center around navigating relationships where the partners are significantly different in terms of age, so that’s what we’re going to be talking about in this show.

To help me in answering these questions, Ashley Weller is back on the podcast. She is a Human Sexuality and Health Psychology Professor at Chapman University in Southern California. She also runs her own podcast called What’s Your Position, which tackles issues surrounding sexuality, relationships, life, and love from a comedic yet educational point of view.

Some of the topics we explore include:

What counts as an “age-gap relationship” anyway?
Why are age-gap relationships so stigmatized?
If you’re in an age-gap relationship, how do you deal with all of the social judgment?
How do you maintain a healthy and active sex life in an age-gap relationship when partners have different libidos?
What are some of the most common challenges that come up in age-gap relationships?

Have a sex question of your own? Send me a podcast voicemail to have it answered on a future episode at speakpipe.com/sexandpsychology.
