Episode Description

Our next episode of the Living to 100 Club radio program explores aging and sexuality. Our guest is Dr. Peter Kanaris, a clinical psychologist with a specialty in sexuality and mental health. We will discuss the favorable and unfavorable changes in sexual activity in seniors, such as physical, psychological, and relationship benefits and the challenges that occur with advancing age, challenges from things like illness, medications, loss of partners, and now the COVID-19 virus. Also explored is the proliferation of sexual addictions and pornography, the difficulties in recovery, and re-establishing trust in these relationships. Our guest will highlight how “out of control” sexual behavior can damage relationships, end marriages, diminish productivity, threaten employment, and jeopardize health and well-being. Finally, Dr. Kanaris will share his unique models of treatment as “cyber infidelity” becomes the definitive mental health issue in couples counseling in the 21st Century.
