In this final episode of the SugarFreeMD After Dark series, Dr. Stacy answers the most common—and most honest—questions women ask about sex, desire, and intimacy in midlife.
If you’ve ever wondered:
…you are not alone—and nothing is “wrong” with you.
In this candid Q&A, Dr. Stacy breaks down what’s actually happening with hormones, tissue changes, desire shifts, body image, and nervous system stress during perimenopause and menopause. She explains why spontaneous desire often disappears, why responsive desire is normal, and how planning intimacy can actually protect connection—not ruin it.
This episode is educational, empowering, and real. It’s not medical advice, but it will give you the language and confidence to have better conversations with your doctor and your partner.
