The Bedroom Gap

A powerful, long-overdue exploration of the silent struggles women face in midlife around intimacy, identity, and inequality.
 —Dr. Mary Claire Haver, New York Times bestselling author The New Menopause

The Bedroom Gap is the  wake-up call women in midlife have been waiting for. Dr. Maria Sophocles shatters the tired myths about sex, aging and desire – and gives us permission to reclaim pleasure on our own terms.—Stacy London, Style Icon and unapologetic midlife rebel

Dr. Maria Sophocles has done what medicine has failed to do for decades: center women's real experiences in midlife sexual health. The Bedroom Gap blends evidence, history, and unflinching truth telling in a way that is both deeply validating and refreshingly actionable.—Dr. Kelly Casperson, bestselling author of You Are Not Broken and the Menopause Movement

I hear it every day – sex after menopause feels different, harder, sometimes  impossible. The Bedroom Gap is the book I wish these women had. It offers real answers, practical solutions, and the confidence to be excited about sex again.—Joanna Strober, co founder and CEO Midi Health

"The Bedroom Gap is a born bestseller. Fifty years after the publication of Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex But Were Afraid to Ask, Maria Sophocles has done it again. This is a must read for all women over 45, and for the men who love them."  —Anne-Marie Slaughter, global leader, scholar, and public intellectual, first woman Director of Policy Planning in the U.S. State Department
