BORN BEFORE THE STOP SIGN, A DYNAMIC CENTENARIAN, AND A WORLD-RENOWN SEXOLOGIST THAT IS STILL PRACTICING IN HER FIELD TODAY IN NEW YORK CITY!
She will tell us what she's learned in her 100-plus year life so far, how to find purpose, meaning, and fulfillment in later years, her aging perspectives, her favorite modern gadgets she can't life without...and so much more!
I reached out to have Shirley on the show because she's truly a radiant individual who has so much to share as it related to dynamic aging! Shirley is iconic for more reasons than being a centenarian—she’s a revered and renown sexologist taking clients today in downtown NYC!
She was featured in the August, 2014 article of Time Magazine, titled ‘Here’s what 100-year-old sex therapist thinks is wrong with sex today,’. Yep, Zussman has been featured in the big-time media far and wide! From her “spice up your life advice” given in the New York Post article to her Cosmopolitan article where she candidly blames lack of connections on iPhones and goes on to explain why millennials aren’t orgasming.
Shirley even has her own Wikipedia page! Which reads: Shirley Zussman is a sex therapist based in New York City. She is a former two term President of the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors and Therapists,[1] and co-director of the Human Sexuality Center of Zucker Hillside Hospital. She is also past Director of the Association for Male Sexual Dysfunction. Continuing to practice as a sex therapist at 100 years old as of August 2014, Zussman was supervised through her graduate dissertation by Margaret Mead, and in the 1960s studied sex therapy under Masters and Johnson, the inspiration for the Showtime series Masters of Sex.[
