Ph.D. Sociology student Savannah Bastian has published her first-author paper on aging and sexual pleasure, titled “Heterosexual Women’s Pleasure Trajectories: How Aging Helps Undo Gendered Sexual Scripts,” in the Sociological Forum. In her research, she discovers that aging allows some heterosexual women to cultivate self-focused motivations for partnered sex. This suggests that the gaps in pleasure and orgasm between heterosexual partners may narrow as they progress through life. Congratulations Savannah!
