What is the conference about?
Still Wanting: Menopause, Infidelity, and the Evolving Erotic Self is co-created by Modern Sex Therapy Institutes (Dr. Rachel Needle), Modern Intimacy (Dr. Kate Balestrieri), and Sex and Love Therapy (Wendy Haggerty, LMFT). Whether you’re a clinician, a student, someone navigating these experiences in your own life or know someone who is, or are just curious, Still Wanting is a space where the conversations that matter most finally get the attention they deserve.
This conference responds directly to what clinicians are asking for right now: nuanced, evidence-based, and sex-positive education on topics that are often misunderstood, stigmatized, or avoided altogether. A central focus is an in-depth exploration of menopause and infidelity — two of the most clinically complex, emotionally charged, and culturally misunderstood issues clinicians face today. Additional topics include compulsive sexual behavior, neurodiversity and sexuality, desire discrepancies, and evolving erotic identity, among others.
