How To! | Lose Your ‘Virginity’ at 43

For most of her life, Elizabeth was a member of the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints, which forbids having sex outside of
marriage. But she recently left the Mormon faith, and now she’s
ready to have sex for the first time—at age 43. On this episode of
How To!, Courtney Martin brings on Nicole Hardy, author of
Confessions of a Latter-Day Virgin to offer Elizabeth advice that’s
relevant to anyone who’s ready to tap into their sexuality later in
life—but unsure how (or where! or with whom!) to start. If you
