Topics
Jon Glynn-Hill: 本期节目关注X世代女性,她们正经历着前所未有的性解放,并拥有她们生命中最美好的性体验。这与社会文化变迁以及她们自身对性观念的转变密切相关。 Marae Silcoff: 我50岁了,离婚后拥有了比20多岁时更开放、探索性更强、更舒适的性生活,这是一种全新的体验。这并非个例,而是许多美国及其他国家女性的共同经历。 Sarah: 40多岁后,我的性观念发生了转变,不再将性作为获得关系的工具,而是享受其中的乐趣;我更倾向于与比我年轻五岁的男性约会,因为他们更注重我的感受。这与当前社会对年龄差距的接受度提高有关,也反映了女性对自身需求的更清晰认识。 Dr. Wendasha Jenkins-Hall: 女性的性生活随着年龄增长而变得更好,因为她们更了解自己的身体和需求;更年期带来的身体变化并不意味着性生活的终结,使用润滑剂和调整性行为方式可以改善性体验。媒体和社会对中年女性性能力的负面刻画是不准确的,应该改变这种观念。 Lisa Whittington Hill: 虽然好莱坞对中年女性的刻画有所改善,但仍存在不足,对中年女性的刻画往往不够现实,缺乏多样性,例如忽略了已婚、未婚、有子女或无子女等不同生活状态。我们需要更多展现中年女性真实生活和性体验的影视作品。
