Tammy WhyNot leads a frank and honest panel discussion where we talk openly about sex and ageing, from affection to fetish.

 

We open with a short performance of What Tammy Needs to Know About Getting Old And Having Sex. The show is an international, intergenerational mission to ask all the difficult questions, talk to those who really know and find out the truth about sex, and all its associations, at midlife and beyond. Find out more about Tammy WhyNot and her mission here. http://www.split-britches.com/tammywhynot-about-me

 

A panel discussion and Q&A will follow. As Alex Comfort, gerontologist and author of the 1972 bestseller ‘The Joy of Sex’, emphasised growing old does not mean desire will diminish. Older age can be an opportunity for new and different intimate relationships, with sexual health advice high on the agenda.
