08-08-18 Sex. Aging. Women. Body Shame. Relationships.

If you are like most people, reading this list of words may have caused some discomfort, shame, embarrassment, or feelings of concern. We live in a culture where pornography is easily accessible to anyone with a computer, yet conversation about healthy sexuality are nearly impossible to find. There is a double standard for men and women surrounding age and aging; women must be young and thin if they want to be sexy, but men with wrinkles or gray hair are distinguished. Breastfeeding in public is seen as questionable, or even obscene, yet most magazines, TV shows or movies show hypersexualized images of women on a regular basis, and those images are not questioned. And to top it off, the bodies that we see most frequently on TV or in magazines, are NOT what most bodies look like! The bodies we see in the media have been airbrushed and edited to the point that sometimes they don’t even look like real bodies.

Let’s face it. Americans have a strange relationship with their bodies, with the bodies of others, and healthy sexuality.

Fortunately, there are people like Anne Bercht in the world, who are not afraid to talk about healthy sexuality, aging, relationships, bodies and all the stuff that the American culture has come to view as taboo – but really isn’t.

If you have a body, if you have sex, if you have a relationship or if you are aging, then this show is for you!

Anne Bercht is an author, speaker, and relationship coach, who, along with her husband Brian, has appeared on television and radio programs throughout North America including Oprah, Montel, American Family, Marriage Uncensored, Northwest Afternoon, Vicki Gabereau, and many more.
