Today's MidLife Sex Festival session features the refreshingly frank Lohani Noor, a psychotherapist specialising in psychosexual issues and the resident therapist presenter on Channel 4’s "Sex on the Couch."

Looking through a psychosexual lens allows for a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between mental, emotional, and physical aspects of sexual health. It provides a perspective that acknowledges and addresses the underlying psychological factors, including past traumas, ingrained beliefs and emotional barriers that can influence one's sexual experiences and relationships. 

Lohani Noor stands out for her candid approach, tackling topics often shied away from with her bold and eye-opening perspectives, particularly around Islamic culture and our misconceptions about sex and Islam.

In this session, Lohani delves into: 

• Communication is Queen: Most of our sexual dynamics are based on assumptions and conditioning, so ‘good sex’ has never been more dependent on the ability to communicate, first with yourself then with a sexual partner.
• Addressing Resentment: Sex is a physical, but also deeply emotional, act. Uncover how resentment is formed and acts as an emotional barrier preventing forgiveness, compassion and repair and prohibiting healthy sexual enjoyment and expression.  
• The Hidden Sexuality Of Islam: Discover insights into the often misunderstood aspects of sex and lust in Islamic culture, emphasising the right to pleasure and a vibrant and active sex life.
• Navigating Infidelity: Once-upon-a-time, couples came to therapy to recover from infidelity - now they come beforehand to discuss opening up their relationship. Learn about a psychotherapeutic approach to non-monogamy. 
• Sexual Autonomy in Menopause and Beyond: Viewing menopause as an opportunity for sexual reawakening and exploration, with a focus on autonomy and self-value.

Lohani Noor's session is set to be a journey of revelation, challenging misconceptions and opening up new understanding in the realm of sexual fulfillment. Her bold and insightful approach makes this session a must-attend for anyone who values candor and is seeking an honest exploration of sexuality through a psychosexual lens.
