Free guide

How do you even bring this up?

A free guide for couples when something’s changed in the bedroom: plain words for what’s changing, lines you can borrow to start the conversation, and what can help when you’re ready.

Read it on your own first, or read it together. Either way, the first conversation gets a little easier.

Cover of the free AgeWell guide, Which Sexual Health Treatment Fits? A plain guide for men, women, and couples.
Sound familiar?

Something has changed, and you don’t know how to say it.

These are some of the most common things we hear, from people in brand-new relationships and people who’ve been together for decades.

  • I don’t know how to tell my partner what’s going on.
  • I’m worried they’ll think it’s about them.
  • Every time I start to bring it up, I change the subject.
  • We love each other, but we’ve drifted, and nobody’s saying it out loud.
What's inside

Five short sections.

What’s changing

Plain words for what men, women, and couples often notice in midlife, and why it happens.

How to bring it up

Lines you can borrow, a simple plan for the talk, what to do if your partner brings it up, and a few things worth remembering.

The treatments, in plain words

GAINSWave®, the P-Shot®, the O-Shot®, and other tools: what each one is and what a visit is like.

Which concern, which conversation

A simple chart that matches what you’ve noticed with where we often start, plus questions to ask any provider.

Better together

Why many patients combine treatments, and how couples are welcome.

How to use it

About ten minutes, three steps.

1. Put words to what you’ve noticed

The first section explains what’s changing in plain language. Mark anything that sounds familiar.

2. Plan the conversation

The second section has lines you can borrow and a simple before, during, and after.

3. Bring your questions to us

Start with a free conversation. Partners are welcome.

Please keep in mind

Do not change or stop prescribed therapy without discussing it with your clinician.

Why we made it

Sexual health is health.

And it deserves a conversation without embarrassment.

Many people wait years to bring this up, or never do, because they don’t know how to start. This guide gives you the words, so the first conversation feels easier, at home and with a provider.
