A Gen X Therapist Talks Porn, Polyamory, and Performance

Women are having the best sex of their lives. Guys—not so much.

Yesterday, I did a Substack Live with sex therapist Kimberly Resnick Anderson about what’s really happening in the bedrooms of Gen Xers and more. Kimberly is a certified sex therapist and a clinical professor at UCLA. You might’ve seen her recently on TLC’s Virgins.

A certified Gen Xer herself, Kimberly has been seeing patients for over 30 years and has watched sexual trends rise and fall across generations. She’s also heard it all — including some fetishes I did not see coming.

We got into it, including:

  • Why Gen X women are more sexually empowered than ever

  • Why Gen X men are losing their sex drive (and what they won’t say out loud)

  • The rising popularity of polyamory and why it often doesn’t work

  • Why more men are having solo sex over real intimacy

  • How to talk to your partner about sex… even after 37 years of faking it

  • Why same-gender groups matter

  • The sage advice from Mr. Rogers that she has up on her wall

I laughed, I cried. It was better than sex.

Well, not really. But it was hella informative!

Let me know your thoughts in the comments.
