Holly Recommends MID: From No Sex To Best Sex At 49

Mamamia Out Loud

04-01-2025 • 1 hr 1 min

Is it getting hot in here... or is it just peri? We have a sexy little treat for you Outlouders and it's an episode all about sex.

Overlooked, touched-out and too tired. That's how many MID women feel about sex. It's how Leslie Morgan felt, too. At 49, her marriage ended, and after not having sex for three years, she decided to change that. Over the next year, Leslie found five boyfriends and discovered her sexual self wasn't actually dead, she was just having a good lie down.

In this MID interview, Holly Wainwright speaks to author and advocate Leslie Morgan, to discuss what women really mean when they say they no longer care about sex, why you should never cover your wrinkles to attract a younger man (if you want one) and how it feels to have the best sex of your life after 50.
