Join us for our free monthly Zoom Drop-In!
| Sex and Relationships as We Age
Wednesday, October 9, 12–1pm Central via Zoom
This presentation will consider changes in sexuality and intimate relationships in later life. In what ways could we be changing the "Sexual Scripts" we developed earlier in life to give us greater gratification now? How can we find the partnerships that we cherish for our mature years?
OUR SPEAKER
