Meet Karen Bigman: Midlife Sex & Relationship Expert
Shifting the Story About Desire & Relationships After 50
I didn’t set out to become a midlife sex and relationship expert.
Like many women, I built a full life—family, responsibility, momentum—and assumed that changes in intimacy were just part of getting older. Sex wasn’t something we talked about. When it shifted or faded, it happened quietly. Then midlife arrived.
My body felt different. Desire felt different. My emotional needs changed. And I realized how little language I had to talk about any of it—with a partner, a doctor, or even myself. I wondered if something was wrong with me.
What I discovered was how little we're taught about sex, pleasure, and relationships as we age. And how many of us quietly struggle with changes we don't understand. That curiosity led me to become a Certified Sexuality Educator, Menopause Coach, and host of Taboo to Truth: Life & Sex After 50.
My Mission
To make sure you have great sex for the rest of your life!
Let's Talk About Sex After 50
Through my podcast and educational work, I explore everything from menopause, changing libido, and sexual pleasure to dating after divorce, erectile dysfunction, and intimacy in long-term relationships. I talk with experts, challenge outdated assumptions, and ask the questions people are often too embarrassed to ask. Sometimes it's educational. Sometimes it's uncomfortable. And sometimes it's downright hilarious.
My goal is to help men and women navigate midlife with more knowledge, confidence, pleasure, and connection. Getting older doesn't mean giving up on great sex.
Why I'm Also Focusing on Men
Through years of conversations on Taboo to Truth, I began hearing from men who felt rejected, disconnected, and uncertain about their relationships. Many were living in sexless marriages and didn't know how to change their circumstances—or whether they even could.
I realized these men needed more than another conversation about what's going wrong. They needed practical guidance and a place to explore their options. That's why I created The Midlife Man Coach, including my 12-week group program, The Sexless Marriage Reset, to help men better understand their relationships, communicate more effectively, and move forward with confidence and clarity.
Great Sex Doesn't Have an Expiration Date. Whether you're married, divorced, dating, or happily single, I believe midlife can be an opportunity to discover new possibilities for pleasure, intimacy, and connection. You deserve accurate information, honest conversations, and the freedom to figure out what works for you. And maybe a few good laughs along the way.
