The episode in which we talk about sex with two guys we just met. Our guests Lance and Matt are the hosts of “Seniors 94” a podcast about “middle aged men and their feelings”. Lance is married to his high school sweetheart and Matt is separated from his wife and sorting all that out. It was a fun conversation for us (warning! not our usual PG content) and after sharing our individual stories, we got into post-marriage sex & intimacy, and communicating with new partners about STDs and preferences. “Seniors 94” also featured a version of our conversation on their recent podcast episode, so be sure to check them out on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

Our guest, Dan, has learned that making marriage and love last is an “act of will”. Dan met his wife 20 years ago on e-Harmony when they were both 58 and divorced. He fell in love with her and her artwork (and her artwork, incidentally, is how Samantha met Dan and convinced him to join us on RBL). Despite him living in Alabama and she in Michigan, they worked it out and are still working it out today. Dan shares that, at 78, he’s grateful for the opportunity to reflect on his past relationships and is learning to understand how his expectations of marriage and partnership perhaps did not serve him, his partners, or his relationships, well in the past. At this point in his life and his marriage he’s learned that a happy marriage doesn’t mean that you both have to be happy all the time and have identical thoughts and interests.
