Fantastic video and topic. I ended my long term marriage after finding out my wife was having an affair and began dating again and have never looked back. One door closed and another world opened up.

This couple, Julie and Con, have effected my heart deeply!! They're very honest and beautiful!! I do respect the every persons honesty here; this couple have true success in my opinion.

I once spent two glorious weeks with a 42 year NY lawyer I happened to meet in Greece. She was recently divorced but very well cashed up and intent on having a good time. I had just finished my masters at a uni in the UK, was broke, and was a 25 year old play thing for her and loved every minute we spent together for the next two weeks travelling the islands. Our backgrounds could not have been more different. Yet we clicked. We still keep in touch and have been great friends ever since even though she is back in the US and I am in Sydney. Mutual respect has to go both ways, but age is just a number.

This is what makes Australia great, we can talk about topics like this publicly. Well done insight

I have enormous admiration for the people who shared their experiences, not just for their honesty, but for being brave enough to live authentic lives.

I'm a 70 yr old widow who spent many many years of unhappiness married. No sex the last 17 yrs, he had erectile dysfunction then at the end of his life, pancreatic cancer.

Honestly I've been alone so long, even married...I don't know how to proceed.
I'd sure love to find someone to enjoy time with.

Very interesting episode, great to see another way people live 😊

Divorce is indeed a challenge, but the answer is not free sex. The true answer lies in healing, reflection, and rebuilding love rooted in faithfulness.

Thank you so much for sharing this incredible conversation. I felt so seen and connected to these women’s stories. Their openness about pleasure and self-discovery after 50 is just beautiful. I’m so grateful for this conversation—thank you for bringing it to light. I'm not alone! 😊

Refreshing listening to these people. I’ve been married twice both ended badly. I lost confidence in relationships made a decision that I was not suited to relationships to scared to try again. I’m to old to reconsider.

Excellent Program

As a fit older guy (mid-60s), I don't like hearing about being automatically excluded just because of my age. My current girlfriend is a very sex-loving 62-year-old who says I "do it like a 17-year-old boy". But I understand everyone has their preferences. Some older guys only find young women attractive so it goes both ways.
