The most inspiring mid-sex-life story ever
Meet Deborah Porteous, co-founder of Pleasure Pods
Today you are getting a sneak listen – and edited q+a – from a podcast with a very special person. Over in Canada (Peterborough, Ontario, to be specific) Deborah Porteous takes us back eight years to a time when she was 53 – and had never had an orgasm.
Through the love of a patient and attentive partner that soon changed. She was also in menopause, and like it does for many women at this stage, sex hurt.
What happened next will, I hope, melt your heart just like one of Deborah’s 100 percent plant-based lubricants, Pleasure Pods. And resonate. And hopefully inspire you to make some more time for yourself, if you know what I mean.
This is a midlife awakening. Complete with late-in-life ADHD diagnosis and a brand-new company straight from the: ‘if you can’t find what you need, make it yourself’ school of entrepreneurship.
Glorious. Hard-won. Late-in-life. Spicy, juicy, and just a little bit X-rated.
“I discovered that I can have an orgasm, while starting menopause, for the first time in my life. So I want to come back to women and say, ‘you know, please don't let menopause stop you from having pleasure’. Please do not give up on yourself.”
