Is She Loose? The Science Behind the Biggest Myth...

Taboo to Truth: Life & Sex After 50 ·

2026/04/10

In this episode, I'm tackling one of the most persistent — and medically inaccurate — myths about women's bodies: the idea that a woman becomes loose based on how much sex she has had and her body count.

This myth has been used for decades to shame and control

If you or someone you love has noticed that things work just fine alone but shut down with a real partner, this isn't about age, hormones, or anything being wrong with you. It's about your brain — and how repeated exposure to high-stimulation content has recalibrated your arousal system. I break down exactly what's happening neurologically, why midlife men
